NEW YORK (CBS) ? Nearly one in eight couples in the U.S. will suffer from some form of infertility. Not only do they experience emotional anguish, but treatments, such as in vitro fertilization, can also be a financial strain, CBS station WCBS-TV reported.
Now, however, there’s a breakthrough procedure using little or no fertility drugs. This means renewed hope for couples wanting to become parents while easing their economic burden for uninsured fertility treatments.
Amy Timney suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome, which makes it difficult for her to conceive. After two years and tens of thousands of dollars spent on in vitro fertilization, Timney decided to try the new procedure.
The treatment is called IVM, and it costs roughly one-third of traditional IVF treatments.
