What goes into the total

Costs can stack in unexpected ways.

A clinic’s base fee usually does not include everything. Here are the common categories that affect the total out-of-pocket cost.

Clinic procedure fees

The base cost quoted by a clinic often covers monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo transfer.

Medications

Fertility medications can add thousands of dollars and vary widely depending on protocol and pharmacy.

Testing and diagnostics

Bloodwork, genetic screening, semen analysis, and other tests may be billed separately.

Storage and future cycles

Embryo or egg storage fees, thaw cycles, and additional transfers can extend the timeline and budget.
