In today’s era, families take very different forms, yet IVF treatments are not always within everyone’s reach. Why does this happen?
What is IVF and how has its accessibility changed?
According to The Economist, IVF has opened new doors to parenthood, but not all families cross them equally easily. Single parents, LGBTQ+ couples, and people with specific medical conditions often face more barriers than heterosexual couples.
Why do some families have more difficulty accessing IVF?
Economic barriers: what costs are involved?
Price is one of the main obstacles. An IVF cycle can cost between USD 5,000 and 15,000; many insurances don’t cover it, and out-of-pocket expenses are often high.
Social and legal obstacles: where are the rules stricter?
In certain countries or states, laws do not yet recognize diverse families, limiting their access to IVF and excluding those who need it most.

Frequently asked questions about IVF accessibility
1. What legal requirements do I need if I’m part of a diverse family?
It depends on your country or state. Some regions require additional documents or psychological evaluations. Always consult a reproductive specialist before starting the process.

Ingenes offers payment plans and packages tailored to your budget. You can also explore health-specific credit options. Request a detailed quote to compare and decide with confidence.
3. What innovations increase my chances of success?

4. What pre- and post-IVF cycle care should I follow?
Before, get hormonal analyses, coagulation studies, and maintain a healthy lifestyle: balanced diet, moderate exercise, and no smoking. After transfer, rest for 24 h, follow your medication (progesterone and estrogens in mg), and attend your beta hCG check-ups. An emotional support environment helps reduce stress.
