IVF Treatment Process

1 — Ovarian stimulation

Your treatment is always individualized to maximize the probability of a successful outcome. You will receive your personalized ovarian stimulation calendar

2 — Egg retrieval procedure

The egg retrieval procedure is performed at our Clinic. The procedure typically takes only a few minutes, and we use conscious sedation for comfortable analgesia

4 — Culture of embryos

Evidence of fertilization can be seen the next day, approximately 16 hours after insemination. The fertilized eggs are then transferred into a growth medium and continue to be cultured in our laboratory

3 — Fertilization of eggs

On average, eight to fourteen eggs are retrieved during the egg retrieval procedure. Once identified, the eggs are combined with sperm and placed in petri dishes filled with culture medium

5 — Assisted hatching
of embryos

A laboratory procedure that creates a “weak spot” in the eggshell of an embryo. This technique enhances the chances of the embryo hatching out of its shell and successfully implanting

6 —Embryo transfer

One or two embryos are carefully loaded into the tip of a thin embryo transfer catheter. The catheter is then guided through the cervix to the top of the endometrial cavity, where the embryo(s) are gently released

7 — Embryo implantation

After the embryo transfer, the endometrial lining gently supports the embryo(s) within the top of the uterus. There are no restrictions on your physical activity

San Jose Area: Prerequisites for In Vitro Fertilization

Only a few treatment prerequisites are needed before the start of your treatment. They assess the egg and sperm quality and ensure that embryos can be accurately placed in a healthy uterus.

The probability of a successful IVF treatment becomes exceedingly low by age 44. You must be 43 and 11 months or younger at the time your IVF treatment begins. Patients who are 44 and older should strongly consider Donor Egg IVF as the most effective treatment option to achieve a successful pregnancy.

Your BMI must be no greater than 31 for an adequate ovarian response and safety during the egg retrieval procedure. If your BMI is higher, please follow the IVF Diet and Lifestyle (PDF) recommendations as closely as possible. By doing so, you can achieve weight loss at an optimal rate, which could significantly improve your chances of a successful pregnancy.

This testing is required by the State of California. You and your partner (if applicable) must be tested for Hepatitis B-Surface Antigen, Hepatitis C-Antibody, HIV I&II, HTLV I&II (male partner only), and RPR.

ORA assesses the likelihood of producing normal-quality eggs. It involves measuring Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), estradiol (estrogen, E2), and Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) blood levels.

These test results are used to optimize ovarian stimulation.

The number of antral follicles (small fluid-filled sacs within the ovaries seen on ultrasound) in unstimulated ovaries is related to the quality of the eggs. Ideally, there should be approximately 20 antral follicles in both ovaries combined.

It is important to determine the length of the uterus in order to ensure the correct placement of embryos.

A saline ultrasound is utilized to rule out the presence of intrauterine polyps or fibroids.

The male partner’s semen will be evaluated at Bay IVF to determine the best laboratory method for semen preparation for egg insemination.

All prospective parents should consider genetic screening for hundreds of the most common genetic diseases. Please inform us during your initial appointment at Bay IVF if you would like to have your blood sample sent for genetic screening.

Environmental factors have a significant impact on reproductive health. Please review the IVF Diet and Lifestyle document (PDF) for a comprehensive list of environmental reproductive health recommendations and a source for dietary supplements.

Understanding the IVF Cost in the San Jose Area

You can decide whether IVF is right for you by understanding the IVF cost in the San Jose area and exploring insurance coverage and financing options.

The cost of IVF in the San Jose area varies depending on several factors, including the specific clinic, chosen procedures, and medication requirements. Generally, you can expect a range of $12,000 to $20,000 per cycle of IVF in the San Jose area.

San Jose fertility clinics may have different pricing structures based on their services and experience. It is crucial to consult with a qualified fertility specialist to obtain personalized information regarding specific treatment costs and insurance coverage. Most fertility clinics in the San Jose area have websites that outline their services and associated costs.

This is the first step in the IVF process, where you meet with a fertility specialist to discuss your medical history and treatment options. The cost of an initial consultation in the San Jose area can range from $200 to $500.

Before starting IVF, you will undergo a series of tests to evaluate your fertility status. The cost of these tests can vary but typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,000 in the San Jose area.

Fertility medications are often a significant expense, typically ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 per cycle.

Additional procedures provided by the San Jose area IVF clinics, such as Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) or PGT (preimplantation genetic testing), can increase the overall cost.

While some insurance plans may cover fertility consultations, coverage for IVF cycles itself is uncommon.

Many clinics offer financing options to help patients manage the cost of IVF treatment. Some San Jose area IVF clinics offer discounts or package deals for multiple IVF cycles.

FAQ — Find Answers to Your Queries

Here are some of the most commonly asked fertility-related questions. A more comprehensive FAQ selection is available on the FAQ page.

Most patients should expect minimal, if any, side effects from the medications used in In Vitro Fertilization. You should be able to continue with your everyday activities during the treatment.

It typically takes approximately 6 to 8 weeks from the start of your treatment to the egg retrieval and embryo transfer.

Your egg retrieval should be a very comfortable experience as we use effective pain and relaxation medications. Most patients will sleep through the 5-10 minute egg retrieval procedure. Some may experience mild menstrual-like cramping.

n the Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedure, a single sperm is directly inserted into the center of an egg. ICSI has been widely used since 1993, and approximately 2 million babies have been born worldwide without significant side effects through the use of ICSI.

You may consider adding Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to your In Vitro Fertilization or Donor Egg IVF treatment. If you choose to do so, it eliminates the need for amniocentesis. While adding PGT to these treatments has not been proven to improve the chances of a successful outcome consistently, it can help reduce the risk of miscarriage.

We adhere to the recommendation of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine that most patients should consider transferring only one or two embryos. While we will always provide guidance, the ultimate decision of whether to transfer one or two embryos will be up to you.

From a conception standpoint, it is not recommended to rest immediately after embryo transfer. Recent studies have shown that remaining active and moving around after the transfer can increase the probability of implantation. Therefore, it is advised to start moving around immediately after your transfer.
