IVF can be a good choice for people looking for fertility options when a female or male factor may contribute to infertility. Degrees of IVF success is dependent on variables like age, history of miscarriage, type of infertility, lifestyle choices and psychological or emotional characteristics. IVF treatment involves administration of reproductive hormones, similar in composition but in much higher doses than those used for oral contraception.
For men who have had a vasectomy, a vasectomy reversal is an option to father children naturally without the burden on the female partner hormonally. Vasectomy reversals provide a higher overall chance of pregnancy than IVF and is usually the better first option for patients.
A vasectomy reversal is minimally invasive without the need of ongoing hormonal or laboratory intervention. Only one individual will be required to have a surgical procedure (instead of 2) and there will be no hormone-altering medication involved.
IVF treatment costs are difficult to predict because you don’t know how many cycles you might need to fall pregnant. One (1) IVF cycle can vary between $4,200 and $16,000 so unless you achieve pregnancy quickly, vasectomy reversals will usually cost less and have a higher success rate of pregnancy over time.
A Vasectomy Reversal with Metrocentre costs from $13,000, plus an anesthetist fee.
