Costs of IVF

Post by RigbyTripper2 »

Can anyone tell me the approximate cost for the IVF process and meds. Since we are just going to be meeting with the specialist to get started we didnt want to walk in unprepared.

13-30K depending on clinic and location. Somtimes you can get more then one cycle and if it is unsucessful you get some back. Not sure what clinic that was but I read that. Good Luck to you. Its a journey!!!!

Thank you for your response, it is nice to try and get prepared - I am in Ohio and going to go with a Cleveland Clinic Specialist - anyone else in Ohio using Dr. Goldfarb in Beachwood, Ohio?

Ours is about 14K. $8400 IVF, $3000 PGD/ICSI, $2600 meds. That does not include the tests we had to do before we even started. RE consultation was $300, bloodwork and ultrasounds before the IVF was about $300 each time. oh and the anesthesia was $450 for the retrieval.

Yep. I am. $8700 plus a few other expenses like meds are around $3000 and you and DH will pay $100 each for bloodwork. They have a deal one price for your prelim bloodwork. Some insurances are taken there. You will like Dr Goldfarb. Welcome. :D

Thank You TammyS

Thank you Tammy - I met with Dr. Goldfarb when he did my HSG and he took a sample from my husband. I had heard great things about him from several people and and my friend has a 4 year old little girl thanks to IVF with Dr. Goldfarb. I know she had mentioned it was around $10,000 when she did it, but that was over 4 years ago.

I pray for all of us!
