Ivf In Austria: Understanding The Cost And Process

IVF treatment in Austria can cost anywhere between 1,002 and 6,240 euros. The price varies depending on the type of treatment and whether it is co-financed by the Austrian IVF Fund. The IVF fund covers the costs of a maximum of four attempts per pair, but does not co-finance the costs of donor sperm or egg cells, or the practice of insemination. The success rate of IVF is around 30-40% per cycle, and the treatment can last between four and six weeks.

IVF with own oocytes and the partner's sperm: €4,240-€6,240

IVF with own oocytes and the partner's sperm (Single Stim cycle including embryo transfer) costs €4,240-€6,240. This price includes co-financing from the Austrian IVF Fund. The IVF Fund does not co-finance the costs of providing donor sperm or donor egg cells, nor does it finance the practice of insemination (insertion of semen into the woman's uterus). The IVF fund assumes the proportionate costs of a maximum of four attempts per pair.

IVF treatment can be expensive, and multiple cycles may be needed. The success rate is around 40% per cycle for women under 35, and the effectiveness of the treatment depends on age and health. The treatment takes 4-6 weeks per cycle.

IVF with egg donation: price upon request

IVF with egg donation in Austria is available at a price upon request. While egg donation is legal in Austria, the donation of already existing embryos is prohibited by law. The costs of providing donor sperm or donor egg cells are not co-financed by the IVF Fund. The IVF fund assumes the proportionate costs of a maximum of four attempts per pair.

IVF treatment can be expensive, and multiple cycles may be needed. The cost of a single cycle of IVF with own oocytes and the partner's sperm is between €4,240 and €6,240. With co-financing from the Austrian IVF Fund, the cost is between €1,002 and €1,077. Embryo thawing/frozen embryo transfer costs between €1,150 and €1,500. Vitrification of unfertilised oocytes and storage for 12 months costs between €2,369 and €3,000. Sperm freezing including cryostorage of samples for 12 months costs between €450 and €1,350. ICSI using vitrified oocytes and fresh or cryopreserved partner's sperm costs between €1,000 and €1,369.

Embryo thawing/frozen embryo transfer: €1,150-€1,500

Embryo thawing/frozen embryo transfer is a procedure that involves devitrification of the embryo and the transfer procedure. This process costs between €1,150 and €1,500 in Austria. The cost of this procedure is co-financed by the Austrian IVF Fund.

IVF treatment in Austria can be expensive, and multiple cycles may be needed. The IVF Fund assumes the proportionate costs of a maximum of four attempts per pair. The success rate of IVF ranges from 30% to 40% per cycle, depending on age and health.

IVF with donated embryos is also an option in Austria, although the donation of already existing embryos is prohibited by law. Those seeking embryo adoption may apply for double donation IVF as a combination of sperm and egg donation is possible.

The cost of IVF with own oocytes and the partner's sperm (Single Stim cycle including embryo transfer) ranges from €4,240 to €6,240. There is also an option for co-financing of the Austrian IVF Fund, which brings the cost down to €1,002 to €1,077.

Vitrification of unfertilised oocytes and storage: €2,369-€3,000

The cost of IVF in Austria varies depending on the specific treatment and the clinic. On average, IVF with own oocytes and the partner’s sperm (Single Stim cycle including embryo transfer) costs between €4,240 and €6,240. However, with co-financing from the Austrian IVF Fund, the cost can be as low as €1,002 to €1,077.

Vitrification of unfertilised oocytes and storage for 12 months (full cycle: Single Stim, OPU, vitrification of oocytes, and storage) typically costs between €2,369 and €3,000. This process involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, retrieving the eggs, and then rapidly freezing them for future use. The cost of this procedure includes the initial consultation, ultrasound monitoring, egg retrieval procedure, and storage of the vitrified oocytes for a year.

Additionally, sperm freezing, including cryostorage of the sample(s) for 12 months, can cost between €450 and €1,350. For those seeking embryo adoption, double donation IVF is an option, as the combination of sperm and egg donation is possible in Austria. The cost of embryo thawing/frozen embryo transfer (devitrification of the embryo and transfer procedure) ranges from €1,150 to €1,500, with co-financing available from the Austrian IVF Fund.

It is important to note that the IVF fund assumes the proportionate costs of a maximum of four attempts per pair. A trial is considered a complete course of treatment, from the initial prescription or administration of medications to proof of pregnancy or lack thereof, as outlined in the IVF Fund Law.

Sperm freezing: €450-€1,350

IVF treatment in Austria can cost between €4,240 and €6,240 per cycle. The Austrian IVF Fund co-finances this treatment, and the cost of using your own oocytes and your partner's sperm is between €1,002 and €1,077.

Sperm freezing, including cryostorage of the sample(s) for 12 months, costs between €450 and €1,350. This is a much cheaper option than the full IVF treatment, and it is a good choice for those who want to preserve their fertility. The process involves collecting a sperm sample, which is then frozen and stored in a secure facility. When the individual or couple are ready to use the sperm, it is thawed and prepared for insemination. This can be done through artificial insemination or in vitro fertilisation, depending on the patient's preferences and medical history.

The cost of sperm freezing may vary depending on the clinic and the specific services included in the package. Some clinics may offer additional services such as genetic testing or extended storage, which can increase the overall cost. It is important to carefully review the pricing and services offered by different clinics before making a decision.

Additionally, it is worth noting that the IVF Fund in Austria does not co-finance the costs of providing donor sperm or egg cells, nor does it cover the practice of insemination.
