Additionally, IVF treatments pose some financial drawbacks for its recipients. IVF is extremely expensive once all the components--”surgery, anesthesia, ultrasounds, blood tests, processing the eggs and sperm, embryo storage, and embryo transfer”--are added up to show one IVF cycle’s expenses, which can be between $12,000-$17,000; likewise, infertility treatments are not typically covered by insurance companies, adding to its cost even more (Storck).

Medi-Cult Case Analysis Medi-Cult, a biotech company based in Denmark, has developed a new alternative to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) called In Vitro Maturation (IVM). These methods are used to help infertile couples have children. IVM significantly reduces the time needed to mature an egg from 30 days to just 2 days. Importantly, it is a relatively hormone-free treatment thus sparing women a number of psychological and physical side effects. Because the side-effects tend to be much-lessened, women at risk from hormone-related condition such as polycystic ovaries are offered the option of safer fertility treatment.
