There is still so much confusion around what IVF costs include and don’t include.  To help shed some light, we are providing a breakdown of what is entailed in a conventionalIVF procedure, along with a brief explanation of each.  Please note, costs can vary by location, clinic and the individual’s needs.  Take this breakdown as your starting point, and as always ask your provider to give you a detailed estimate of what your procedure will entail.

Also note, there are many people who require additional services to the barebones IVF cycle, and so these numbers can rise easily.

Let’s begin:

Basic IVF Cycle Costs

• IVF: $10,000 - $15,000
  Includes: Monitoring, egg retrieval and anesthesia, fertilization, fresh embryo transfer.
• Medications: $3,000 - $8,000
  Includes: Injectables for ovarian stimulation and medicines for embryo transfer.
  Bottom Line: Medication costs can vary and may change during treatment. Most clinics provide a range.

Common Add-On Costs

• ICSI Fertilization: $1,500
  Purpose: Widely used, especially necessary in male-factor infertility.
• Assisted Hatching: $500 - $1,000
  Purpose: A laser helps the embryo hatch from its shell to implant in the uterine wall.
• Cryopreservation + First-Year Storage: $600/year
  Purpose: High-quality embryos from IVF cycles are often cryopreserved for future use.
• Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): $5,000
  Purpose: Improves success rates by identifying embryos with normal chromosomes or those free of known genetic disorders.

Total Cost for Basic IVF Cycle:

$20,000 - $30,000

Big Picture‍

The average fertility patient undergoes more than two cycles, bringing the total cost per patient to $40,000 - $60,000.
