No, Medicare doesn't cover ivf medication costs. It's classified as an elective procedure. Private health insurance may help if you have the right level of cover, but check your policy carefully as waiting periods and exclusions are common.
Expect stimulation phase lasts 8-14 days, daily injections. Your specialist will give you a personalised timeline based on your situation.
Side effects from IVF medications can include bloating, mood changes, and headaches. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a more serious but uncommon risk. Your clinic monitors you throughout the cycle to catch any issues early.
Consider the clinic's success rates for your age group, but also their approach to patient care and transparency on pricing. Ask about their policy on refunds or repeat cycles. CostDoc shows real costs across Australian IVF clinics.
