We want to partner with you in achieving our shared goal of pregnancy success. Because we believe in our outstanding clinical expertise and pregnancy success statistics, we offer a risk sharing, or Success Guarantee, financial plan.

Our Success Guarantee Plan is based on the principle of mutual commitment. If you do not achieve a live birth after completing a Success Guarantee cycle, you will be reimbursed up to 100 percent of the cycle fee.

If you do not achieve pregnancy through the initial IVF cycle, the Success Guarantee plan fee includes the transfer of all frozen embryos generated from the initial IVF cycle. That is a $3,600 value for each frozen embryo transfer.

As an additional benefit of the Success Guarantee plan, we have established a medication subsidy. If your first cycle is unsuccessful, SDFC will supply the FSH medications for your second IVF cycle for free.

IVF Success Guarantee Plan—$17,600.00 The Success Guarantee plan includes the following services: Monitoring office visits Monitoring ultrasounds Monitoring blood tests Transvaginal egg retrieval Basic laboratory culturing Embryo transfer Pregnancy tests Up to three OB ultrasounds The services not included in the global fee are: Pre-cycle testing and evaluations Anesthesia ICSI Assisted hatching Embryo cryopreservation Cycle medications A completed Success Guarantee cycle is a successful live birth1 or the transfer of all subsequent frozen embryos.

In order to qualify for the Success Guarantee plan, couples will need to meet the following criteria:

• The embryo-recipient must be physically and mentally healthy enough to undertake a pregnancy.
• Using the same combination of ovum, sperm and uterus, the intended parents must have failed less than 3 IVF cycles in their history.
• The embryo-recipient must have a normal uterus as assessed by a transvaginal ultrasound and either a normal hysterosalpingogram, sonohysterogram or hysteroscopy performed in the preceding 12 months. In previous fertility treatment therapies the embryo recipient must not have demonstrated a poor endometrial response, as demonstrated by a peak endometrial thickness of <8mm and/or an endometrial echo pattern that is not trilaminar to estrogenic stimulation in the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle.
• If recipient of embryos as submucosal fibroids, they must be removed. If she has intramural fibroids they must be < 3cm.
• The recipient of the embryos must not have evidence of hydrosalpinx.
• The recipient of embryos must have a BMI <30. ( to calculate www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi)
• The egg provider must have a day three FSH< 9.0mIU/ml, estradiol<65 pg/ml and antral follicle count of 12 or more or an AMH >2.0.
• The man must be capable of producing sperm in his ejaculate, or be willing to go through a procedure to obtain sperm or use a sperm donor. If the sperm provider requires a sperm extraction procedure like TESE/ MESA then donor sperm must be arranged as a back-up option if sperm is not able to be obtained through these procedures. If couple is unwilling to use donor sperm as back-up and there is no sperm found on the TESE/MESA then the SG contract will be void and a one cycle package will be charged and the balance refunded.
• The lab must be able to use ICSI at their discretion for optimum fertilization.
• The couple, in consultation with the physicians and embryologist, will determine the number of embryos/blastocysts placed per each transfer. A minimum of two embryos will be replaced. In general, we adhere to the established guidelines published by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. The couple must agree to have all embryos transferred, either fresh or thawed, before the cycle is considered complete per the plan.
• In all previous IVF cycles, using the same ovum and sperm source together there must have been >5 embryos created.
• Treatment cycles involving pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) are excluded from this plan.
