The In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is among the top 3 most popular assisted reproductive procedures in Mexico.

If you are outside Mexico and are interested in learning more about the price and procedure, here is what you need to know.
What is it ?
The In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive treatment in which fertilization of the egg takes place outside the uterus. The procedure is carried out in a laboratory using various techniques, thereby avoiding surgical intervention.
IVF is used when there are problems with the fallopian tubes, few available eggs, or conditions that affect ovarian function. It is also used when there is a low presence of sperm in the semen or when its quality is not sufficient for natural fertilization.
What is the procedure?
The first step is ovarian stimulation, which involves the administration of hormones to ensure that all eggs reach their final maturation stage to be released during ovulation. Then, the eggs are retrieved through a follicular puncture, which is a surgical procedure where the ovarian follicles are punctured, and their contents are aspirated for analysis in the laboratory.
The semen sample obtained undergoes a process to eliminate low-quality sperm and seminal plasma. Fertilization, which is the fusion of the egg and sperm, is then performed. This can be done through traditional methods or specific sperm selection techniques such as ICSI or PICSI, Finally, the embryo with the highest implantation potential is selected to achieve pregnancy.
Price in Mexico
The price of Clinics in Mexico ranges from $50,000 to $200,000. It will depend on the clinic you choose and factors such as stimulation medication, medical exams, consultations, and ultrasounds.
Factors that influence the price
Medical history is a crucial factor that influences the price since it is necessary to determine the causes of infertility in the individual or couple undergoing the treatment. Based on this, it will be determined if additional steps are required in the procedure. The regular procedure includes egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo implantation. Other factors that influence the price are:
- Egg donation: Sometimes it is recommended to resort to this step when the condition of the eggs is not optimal, and increasing effectiveness is desired.
- Sperm donation:: In the case of men with semen quality issues, women who want to become mothers without a partner, or when performing the ROPA method, specialists recommend acquiring a semen sample.
- Preliminary exams and analysis Various tests are necessary before starting the treatment, and depending on the clinic, they may have an additional cost.
- Preimplantation Genetic Testing: This is a test to prevent hereditary diseases caused by genetic or chromosomal abnormalities.
