I live in Orange County in Southern California. My wife had a couple of miscarriages. We need a baby. We are interested in a test tube baby. If we both are ok tentatively how much money will we need to have a test-tube baby? If that’s not within our capacity we will stop thinking about it.
Thank you

I encourage you to pursue a thorough evaluation of your wife’s health to discover the cause of the miscarriages. You would begin by learning to observe and track her fertility signs, and then take that to a physician trained to interpret them for a complete evaluation and treatment plan that is tailored to your particular situation. It is MORE effective than IVF, LESS expensive, and any baby conceived would be conceived by you, not in a test tube. We have references on our site for your area. I wish you the best.
