Fertility treatments help thousands of couples to start a family but the costs can be high

In The Baby Business

When you make the monumental decision to have a baby, you want your pregnancy to go ahead as planned. But one in six Australian couples has fertility issues, according to the Fertility Society of Australia (FSA), which points out that infertility is shared equally between men and women.

The good news is that scientific advances are helping to improve the success of fertility treatments. Sometimes it is simply addressed by making lifestyle changes but often it involves medical procedures such as IVF. Since its first success in Australia in 1980 IVF has helped over 215,000 babies to be born – in 2016-17 it was a record 15,198.
