"Inconceiveable" A Story About In Vetro Fertilization

A Medical Mistake

Carolyn and Sean Savage struggled to have their first three children. They wanted to try for a fourth using embryos left over from the in vitro fertilization procedure that brought them their daughter previously. Ten days after the embryos were transferred, the doctor called them saying that Carolyn was pregnant with someone else's  child. This couple decided to have the baby. Then after giving up the child for the other parents, Carolyn was at high risk and could not have another child. It was then, that the Savages decided to use a surrogate mother to have their fourth.

In Vitro Fertilization

One of the better-known fertility treatments, in vitro fertilization (IVF) essentially involves fertilizing an ovum in a laboratory dish and then transferring the embryo to a woman's uterus. IVF treatment is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) method suitable for couples with any one of various causes of infertility, including tubal factor infertility, endometriosis, and certain types of male factor infertility.

IVF Cost and Financing

The cost of in vitro fertilization (IVF) is generally about $12,000 per cycle. However, the treatment does not always work the first time it is performed, so some couples choose to undergo multiple cycles. Learn more about how financing can be used to offset the cost of IVF.

In the United States, the live birth rate for each IVF cycle started is approximately:

• 30 to 35% for women under age 35
• 25% for women ages 35 to 37
• 15 to 20% for women ages 38 to 40
• 6 to 10% for women ages over 40
