Treatments at Bay IVF
In Vitro Fertilization
In Vitro Fertilization
We use gentle and individualized ovarian stimulation protocols prioritizing egg quality over quantity. This approach minimizes clinic visits and reduces the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation without compromising the chances of a successful outcome.
A complete IVF treatment cycle can take as little as six weeks and only requires a few brief visits to the Clinic.
The cost of In Vitro Fertilization at Bay IVF is $11,870.
Gender Selection
Gender Selection
We were one of the first fertility clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area to offer Gender Selection IVF.
IVF for Gender Selection uses a Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) procedure to determine the gender of each embryo.
Through this method, prospective parents will know the gender of each embryo with 100% accuracy before transferring them into the uterus.
The cost of adding the Gender Selection procedure to IVF treatment is $4,820 at Bay IVF.
Reciprocal IVF
Reciprocal IVF
In reciprocal lesbian IVF, one partner assumes the role of the Genetic Mother by providing the eggs retrieved during the IVF cycle, while the other partner serves as the Birth Mother who carries the pregnancy.
The eggs obtained from the Genetic Mother are fertilized with donor sperm within a laboratory setting. Subsequently, the resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus of the partner who will carry the pregnancy. This method enables both partners to actively participate in the creation and gestation of their child, fostering a deep sense of involvement and connection.
The cost of Reciprocal IVF at Bay IVF is $14,450.
Minimal IVF
Minimal IVF
Minimal IVF can be a great way to achieve your goal of having a baby while reducing treatment costs, the number of clinic visits, and the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation.
Compared with conventional In Vitro Fertilization, the Minimal IVF procedure involves significantly fewer subcutaneous injections to stimulate the development of a moderate number of eggs.
The cost of Minimal IVF at Bay IVF is $6,920.
Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGT)
PGT can be added to IVF, Donor Egg IVF, and Embryo Banking treatments. It aims to increase the probability of a successful outcome by minimizing the likelihood of transferring genetically abnormal embryos.
Embryo genetic testing has been recommended for patients of advanced maternal age (35 or older), those with a history of repeated early pregnancy loss (three or more), and individuals who have experienced multiple failed IVF cycles despite the transfer of high-quality embryos.
The cost of adding PGT to your treatment varies depending on the type of treatment. Please contact us for pricing.
Male Infertility
Male Infertility
Approximately 10% to 15% of men are born with some degree of male infertility, and about one-third of the time, a couple’s infertility can be solely attributed to male infertility.
In recent years, the chances of infertile men conceiving their genetic child have significantly improved. In situations where patients previously had to rely on donor sperm, we can now almost always utilize the partner’s sperm to fertilize the eggs with ICSI.
The cost of adding ICSI to IVF is $2,340 at Bay IVF.
Embryo Banking
Embryo Banking
Some couples may delay starting their family to the extent that when they finally decide to have children, it can be challenging, if not impossible, to conceive naturally. Embryo Banking can be a valuable option for postponing parenthood while pursuing educational and professional goals.
Embryo Banking involves the retrieval of eggs from the ovaries, fertilization with the partner’s semen, cryopreservation of the resulting embryos, and their storage at our Clinic for future use.
The cost of Embryo Banking at Bay IVF is $14,090.
Egg Donation
Egg Donation
Egg Donation can be a highly successful treatment used by patients who no longer have high-quality eggs. Children conceived with the help of donor eggs are genetically linked to the male partner and the egg donor, while the female partner is the one who becomes pregnant, nourishes the baby throughout the pregnancy, and experiences childbirth.
You have the option to choose an egg donor from an egg donor agency or purchase frozen donor eggs from an egg bank.
The cost of the Donor Egg IVF procedure is $14,090.
Frozen Donor Egg IVF is $11,910 at Bay IVF.
Frozen Embryo Transfer
Frozen Embryo Transfer
Fertility treatments may involve embryo freezing and the storage of embryos in liquid nitrogen. Later on, the stored embryos can be thawed and transferred into the uterus. The processes of embryo cryopreservation, storage, and Frozen Embryo Transfer are done on-site at Bay IVF.
Frozen Embryo Transfer is very safe. Hundreds of thousands of babies have been born worldwide from cryopreserved embryos.
The cost of Frozen Embryo Transfer at Bay IVF is $4,270.
Sperm Aspiration IVF
Sperm Aspiration IVF
Some men either do not produce sperm at all or produce them in insufficient numbers and low quality. Many of these men can have their sperm directly aspirated from their testicles or the epididymis (tightly coiled tubules attached to the top of the testes that store sperm before ejaculation).
The two most common indications for sperm aspiration are a previous vasectomy and the congenital absence of the epididymis.
The Bay IVF fee for Sperm Aspiration IVF varies depending on the patient’s underlying diagnosis. Please contact us for pricing.
Fertility Tests
Fertility Tests
Your reproductive history and the results of your testing will determine the most likely and cost-effective treatment for achieving pregnancy.
We plan your fertility testing based on three categories of infertility factors: (1) Male factor infertility, (2) Ovulation and egg quality disorders, and (3) Uterine and Fallopian tubes factors.
Whenever possible, we utilize fertility test results conducted prior to your becoming a patient at Bay IVF to minimize your costs.
The cost of fertility testing depends on the tests performed. Many hormonal test charges are already included in the treatment fees.
