Treatment

To resolve infertility, there are many paths. If the problem is smoking, drugs, alcohol or drugs, the output is simple. Generally, only the habit recover fertility. In cases of diseases such as endometriosis and varicocele, surgery fixes the problem (in milder cases of endometriosis can only be used one medication).

But in cases where the cause of infertility is not discovered, or in which it is caused by the woman's age, the couple can opt for a more complicated treatment: artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization. And, contrary to what most people think, they are not the same thing.

In artificial insemination, doctors stimulate ovulation in women with drugs, harvest the man's sperm, select the best sperm and implanted in the cervix. It is a technique widely used when the couple does not have any disease or apparent cause of infertility.

Insemination is simpler and cheaper than IVF. It is painless. The sperm are introduced with the help of a catheter. To succeed, however, the man needs at least one healthy testicle and women of at least one horn in good condition.

In vitro fertilization is a more complex and more expensive, but also have more success rates. In it, the fertilization is done in the laboratory. Instead of sperm, the embryo itself (often more than one) that is implanted in the womb. Thus, a woman of 40 years gets to have 20% chance of getting pregnant (the same as a woman of 20 years of course).

According Fraietta in private clinics of São Paulo, in vitro fertilization can cost from $ 14 to R $ 50 thousand per attempt (usually requires at least two or three). Insemination is more into account: $ 5 thousand to R $ 10 thousand per attempt.

The two forms are also used by people with problems that go way beyond infertility. For example, couples who want children, but where one partner is HIV positive (remembering that medicine today can prevent infection of the infant's mother at birth). Moreover, these techniques also benefit people with disabilities - for example, those who have lost mobility of limbs.

For those who fight for the dream of being a mother, no sacrifice seems to be valid. "I want to be my son what my mother is to me. Being a mother is the fullest, with responsibility for putting the world to be a special person, or a piece of me, "said Elane. "I do not remember if I ever crossed my mind not being a mother. It has always been a goal of life, a certainty. I feel incomplete because it does not have at my side my son (or my children). Being a mother is the culmination of my life, "says Camila (fictitious name).
