Freezing your eggs is expensive, not without risk and comes with no guarantees: here’s how to navigate the market
Once a course of action for women with serious medical diagnoses, private clinics now offer egg-freezing as an elective procedure. A trawl of some of the players in the Irish market shows the costs of one egg-freezing cycle range differ by almost €1,400, though it can be hard to compare providers. For example, the cost of one egg-freezing cycle at Therapie Fertility is €2,295. At the Waterstone Clinic‚ the cost is €2,950 per cycle, with a €25 monthly cost for freezing.
Find out, too, if the monthly storage cost will remain fixed throughout the period of storage, or if this can be increased over time.When researching clinics, be sure to ask what tests will be recommended by the clinic, or are required before you can commence. These are likely to be charged separately and you will need to budget for this.
“A treatment would aim for somewhere between 10 and 15 eggs in one cycle. It is true that if you want to receive a 90 per cent likelihood of a pregnancy, you will probably need to have two cycles of treatment,” says Dr Edgar Mocanu, a fertility consultant at the Rotunda Hospital. Doing two cycles, excluding freezing costs could bring the cost to about €6,000 if a second cycle isn’t discounted. Ask the clinic if it anticipates that a second cycle will be required, and if it is discounted.Egg-freezing is sometimes viewed as an insurance policy, but there’s no guarantee it will pay out. When paying several thousand euro for the procedure, customers should be aware of the odds of success.
if you want to receive a 90 per cent likelihood of a pregnancy, you will probably need to have two cycles of treatment “Ask, what experience do you have with women using their eggs , because this is the biggest question. If only two women have used their eggs, the clinic’s experience is limited. Ask how many they have treated and how many got pregnant. That’s the most important question.”Some fertility clinics partner with lenders to offer payment plans. Being able to spread the cost over time means a lower upfront cost but, like all loans, it will cost you more in the long run.
