IVF package vs one cycle

Thank you for that! So what happens with the rest of the cycles you paid for in the package? My worry is if 1st round is successful and then you can’t get a refund on the others
We didn’t get any money back. Some companies might be different but we used access fertility and if any cycle results in a pregnancy then you can’t use the further cycles and can’t get a refund unfortunately x
That’s crazy that you can’t use the rest of the cycles you’ve paid for! It does anger me how much money they are taking from people x
Hi, I went with a package with care fertility. I weight up my chances vs the cost. I ended being lucky and it worked on second frozen transfer. So although I only used one egg retrieval cycle, I needed multiple transfers (around £2K a transfer). That cost was included in my package, so I paid a little more than needed but I could have easily broke-even or saved had I needed more transfers or an extra egg retrieval. I believe they can also offer financing packages so not all up front cost. Best of luck (Also didn’t get any back due to my age)
We had our first round of IVF on the NHS and it completely failed, we didn’t manage to make a single embryo. Going forward we decided to do ICSI instead and were paying privately. Due to our previous experience we opted to pay for a package for multiple rounds incase something else cropped up. Luckily we only needed the first cycle and I’m currently pregnant with our miracle baby. I think knowing we weren’t putting all of our hope into one cycle also helped take the pressure off abit. I think it depends entirely on your situation and what is manageable financially. Good luck with everything!
