The overturn of Roe will is raising serious concerns about the future of fertility treatments, as Bay Area doctors say it puts the practice in 'jeopardy' for women across the country.
CDC data shows the outcome of the Roe v. Wade ruling will impact Black and Latinx women the most, putting them in a greater risk of death and poverty.These fears women in California likely won't face given the existing laws safeguarding reproductive rights. The real impact coming to the state will be heightened demand from patients coming outside California that may further limit access and eventually drive up costs.
"We always have a wait period and it's something we always try to get people through," Alvero said."Demand is an issue, and that's certainly going to increase the wait times for these patients." IVF clinics across the country - including the Bay Area --- are already battling a patient backlog from the pandemic.Higher risk procedures
Dr. Cedars says if states pass regulations that limit the number of embryos allowed to be inserted -- that could put patients at higher risk. "If there are restrictions as there have been in other countries, where you have to limit the number of embryos you can make. For example, you can only inseminate three eggs and have to transfer more embryos than they need... you're putting them and their children at high risk of complications," she said.According to aby the Pacific Fertility Center, on average the cost of an IVF treatment in California ranges between $8,000 to $13,000 per cycle without medication.
