From the article: How much does IVF cost?

Since insurance rarely covers IVF treatment completely, considering IVF cost is important in planning how to build your family. The average cost of IVF is $12,000 to $15,000 per cycle, but that price can be higher depending on your particular fertility problems, age, and treatment goals. It’s rarely lower than $10,000. (Read this article for details on IVF cost.)

How much did you personally pay for IVF? What services were included in the price? (If you decided not to go through with IVF, but did get quotes, you can share how much you were told you would have to pay.)

Please do not mention specific clinic names.

how muchdid u pay for ivf

Our doctor gave us a hardship discount, and we ended up paying 5000 for him, plus the cost of meds... total about 7500. Our doctor is very reputable and has a high rate of success.

how much we paid for ivf

We paid 11,900 for IVF, but that did not include another 1,000 for medication, 5,000 of medication we were given for free because we were accepted into a special program, fertility lifelines, for people with no insurance. We also paid another 4,000 for blood work. All together we spent roughly 17,000 dollars. But it was well worth it. We are now 11 weeks pregnant.

Average...

We did basic IVF, and we paid the average, about $12,000. We didn't have many extras, no ICSI or anything like that. We did two rounds, and then we got pregnant!
