Not Easy
Although Rachel was eager to begin, it was also unavoidably frightening and nerve-wracking. She would need to go through a number of procedures to get ready for the embryo implantation. Everything went smoothly. The in-vitro fertilization procedure was in progress in September of 2015. The only thing left for them to do was to wait and observe the outcomes.
The Odds
Similar to regular in-vitro fertilization, the couples faced numerous challenges. Additionally, they would require a bit of good fortune. Rachel would have to undertake hormone therapies for months prior to the procedure in order to be eligible. Only 10% of the time will Rachel’s implantation be successful. A further drawback is the expense of the process, since each try runs between $10,000 and $15,000. The fact that insurance does not cover the operations adds to the couple’s anxiety.
