IVF - single cycle or multi cycle package?

[Courts0203]

We are about to start our IVF journey. We are booked in to have a miscarriage blood panel done due to my recurrent losses and my partner is booked in to have another semen sample to check DNA fragmentation. His morphology was at 1% last time we had it checked but obviously they will tell us the new results once we receive them.

My question is, do we just pay for a single cycle or do we look into one of the packages? We are currently with Manchester Fertility so we would have to go through Access Fertility if we want to use a package.

Can anyone share whether they did a single cycle or package and why?

Thank you!

I had treatment with Manchester fertility and went with the multi cycle with meds included. I think this works out better. Our first round didn't work but our 2nd did. We managed to get 3 embryos and on our second round the package included all transfers.

Manchester fertility are a great clinic btw. We have been with 3 clinics in total and they were the best. Good luck x

I think it’s worth comparing the total costs of both options before making a decision. A multi-cycle package might offer better value if more than one round is needed, particularly if medication and embryo transfers are included. However, I’d check exactly what is covered, what happens if treatment is cancelled and whether there are any conditions attached to refunds. Given your history, it may also be worth discussing your test results and likely treatment plan with Manchester Fertility before committing. Wishing you both lots of luck with your journey. x

We did a multi-cycle package with Access Fertility. Needed 2 egg collections and definitely worked out cheaper for us.

From my experience, packages with more than one attempt and meds included or guaranteed programs reduce part of the financial risks.
But each case is different plus patient history must be taken into consideration.
