Cost of IVF in Mexico

How much does IVF cost in Mexico?

There is no way to put a price on the dream of becoming a parent, yet for many people, the cost of infertility treatments can be a barrier. That is why at The Fertility Center Mexico, part of our mission is to offer high-quality assisted reproduction services with exceptional care at a price that will allow you to focus on what is important: creating your family.

Currently, Tijuana receives more than 2.5 million tourists, mainly from the United States, who seek quality medical treatments in modern facilities that are equipped with the latest technology and where they can find highly skilled specialists, but at much lower prices when it comes to medical consultations, procedures, medications, and surgeries.

The opportunity of finding the same quality treatments here, 70% cheaper in comparison to prices in the USA, motivates millions of Americans to cross the border for medical tourism.

What Is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) And How Does It Work?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is one of the most effective and popular assisted reproduction methods due to its high success rates (65 – 95%). With this technique, egg fertilization occurs in a laboratory; the resulting embryo is transferred into the woman’s uterus, allowing pregnancy. IVF offers a chance at parenthood to couples who would be otherwise unable to conceive due to infertility problems such as blocked or absent fallopian tubes or low sperm counts.

Who Can Benefit From An In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?

The best reproductive capacity is usually between 20 to 30 years. After 35, age becomes a factor for infertility, meaning in-vitro fertilization could be a viable option. However, there are a number of factors involved in determining if a patient is suitable for IVF treatment, as the case of patients with:

• Advanced endometriosis.
• Ovulation disorders.
• Low sperm counts.
• Blocked fallopian tubes.
• Contraceptive surgery (tubal ligation, vasectomy).
• Other health of unexplained reproductive issues.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Process

Before beginning a cycle of IVF in Mexico, you and your partner will likely need various screenings, including:

• Ovarian reserve testing. To determine the quantity and quality of the women’s eggs.
• Semen analysis. To examine the number, shape, and mobility of the male’s sperm.
• Infectious disease screening. To discard the presence of diseases like HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and hepatitis, among others.
• Practice embryo transfer. To determine the conditions of the uterine cavity.
• Uterine exam. To analyze the conditions of the uterus; this might involve a sonohysterography, an ultrasound, or a hysteroscopy.

Once the necessary screenings are done, the IVF is performed. The procedure consists of 5 steps:

• Ovarian Stimulation

It consists of the application of medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs (instead of the single egg that normally develops each month) – this is necessary because not all eggs will be fertilized.

• Egg retrieval

Also known as follicular aspiration, it involves obtaining the produced eggs through a simple surgical procedure (which involves a needle connected to a suction device); once retrieved, they are reviewed and prepared for fertilization (this is done by an embryologist).

• Fertilization

There are two methods through which fertilization can be attempted:

• Conventional Insemination. Sperm and eggs are mixed and incubated.
• Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). A single healthy sperm is injected directly into each mature egg (this is used when the semen quality or volume is a problem).

• Embryo culture

An optimal environment is created for the culture of human embryos; those fertilized eggs will continue to grow in the laboratory for up to 6 days before being transferred into the uterus.

• Transfer

The embryos are placed in the uterus using a catheter – usually, two or more are transferred with the hopes that at least one will develop. Sometimes more than one embryo ends up implanting, which is why multiples are common in women who undergo an IVF treatment (the number of embryos must be discussed with your doctor beforehand). Each transference offers pregnancy rates greater than 70% and a cumulative rate of 94% in three attempts. The next step after the In Vitro Fertilization is getting a pregnancy test to see if the procedure was successful. If there are leftover embryos, they can be frozen for future attempts.
