ECO - Pros and Cons

The method of in vitro fertilization , as a rule, raises many questions. Therefore, we should weigh the pros and cons of the IVF procedure before deciding to conduct it.

Do IVF as many times as necessary. That is, before pregnancy. If the attempt is unsuccessful, it is necessary to give the body at least one menstrual cycle to rest, but better. The number of free IVF attempts varies depending on the region.

The main "minus" of the method is its price and the need to take hormonal medications. Information on how much it costs to do IVF, it is better to find out in your regional clinics. Since prices can vary significantly depending on the region and depend on the technical equipment of the clinic, the experience of medical personnel. On average, the procedure will cost about $ 3000. Additionally cryopreservation of embryos can be paid.

Indications for IVF

As you can see, the IVF procedure is quite expensive. Therefore, first of all I would like to note who is doing ECO for free and under what circumstances. In vitro fertilization is indicated for an unknown reason of infertility, as well as under the following conditions:

• pathology of the fallopian tubes or their absence;
• the pathology of the husband's sperm;
• ovarian diseases or hormonal disorders associated with the lack of ovulation;
• immunological infertility ;
• endometriosis.

Contraindications to IVF

It is important to clearly understand all the indications and contraindications to IVF, because the result of the procedure is not always successful. The contraindications for IVF in women include the following conditions:

1. The presence of a therapeutic pathology or mental illness, especially in severe, uncompensated flow. That is, those diseases of the internal organs, in which it is very difficult to bear a child. In this case, there is often a threat to the life of a woman. Therefore, the attending physician should determine whether it is dangerous to do IVF, and to consider possible complications.
2. Anomalies of development or deformation of the uterus, which prevent the attachment of the embryo and make it impossible to bear the child.
3. Acute inflammatory process.
4. Presence of cancer or cancer. And any benign neoplasm is a temporary contraindication for IVF and requires preliminary treatment before the procedure.

All these situations are a contraindication to IVF by quota, that is, it is theoretically possible to try, but in any case all the stages of the procedure are paid for independently. In addition, if you have contraindications, you can endanger your life.

Contraindication to IVF in men is considered the pathology of spermatozoa, associated with a violation of their structure. In this case, it is possible to use donor sperm. Also, the use of ejaculate is contraindicated, if a man is HIV-infected, in the presence of viral hepatitis in the stage of exacerbation, tuberculosis or syphilis.

Some nuances of the procedure

Many are interested in the age of IVF and it is difficult to answer this. Theoretically, IVF can be performed while the ovaries mature ovules, that is, up to about 45 years. But the older a woman, the greater the probability of a child with anomalies of development or chromosomal abnormalities. At an older age, IVF can be performed using a donor egg. But here it is necessary to think about whether it is worth doing IVF, and pay attention to the presence of concomitant diseases. And it is also important to really assess the possibility of giving birth and raising a child.

Now let's see if ECO makes lone women by quota. According to the state program of free IVF, one of the requirements is a registered marriage. Therefore, in this situation, all expenses will have to be paid independently. Given the above, to decide whether to do IVF or not, this is a fairly serious task.
