The cost of infertility treatments abroad can be less than half the cost in one's home country. There are different phases of treatment that contribute to the overall cost, including initial consultations, the primary IVF treatment, additional procedures like ICSI, hormonal drugs, and embryo freezing. While IVF can help people with infertility become pregnant, there are also some health risks like multiple pregnancies or infection that can potentially arise from the treatment procedures. Success rates for IVF are typically around 50% per cycle for women under 35 and decline with increasing maternal age.
