[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t have the doc right in front of me though I can look tmw to be sure. Shared risk is 28,500 plus 6,000 for genetic testing plus whatever the cost of medication is (5-7k?) So, the cost is around 40k. You get a baby or you get your money back, essentially. I believe one cycle is 10,800. So, if we do shared risk and get lucky on first or second cycles, we would pay more and SGF comes out ahead, if it takes longer, they come out ahead.

I know there is no way to know since it varies, but do most couples need multiple cycles?[/quote]

Well it’s $10,800 but I don’t think that includes ICSI or AH, which you need if you are testing the embryos, so you are probably looking at $12,500 -13,000 for the retrieval, $3,600 for testing, and $4,500 for a FET plus meds.  If you only need one retrieval, the chances a transfer of a normal embryo will work are around 60%, so it’s not improbable to need more than one transfer.  Plus if you miscarry you’d need to pay for another retrieval or transfer.

It’s kind of hard to know how many retrievals you might need until you do one and see how many normal embryos you get, if any.  [/quote]
