hey I don't mind sharing at all.
my 2st ivf were thru 100% coverage by insurance, insurance paid around 8.5 K. The price of ivf cycle without insurance was around 11K ( drugs do not count).
i hope it helps

Cath,

I think you find that many hospitals vary quite a lot - mine charged around £2,500.00 for a full ivf cycle (I THINK that included drugs!). Although we were very lucky and managed to get a full ivf and an FET cycle on the NHS. Whether or not you get NHS help is wholly dependent on a postcode lottery I'm afraid and usually they have certain criteria you must meet - again each NHS Trust is completely different.

Hope this helps - best of luck!

Hi Cath
I am having treatment in Oxford. My drugs cost us £980 and the IVF (with ICSI) is £3,600. I think it costs £500 per year to freeze the embryos.
Good Luck!

Total cost is around $15,000 (without insurance) and that includes the meds. You will have to find out if your insurance co. covers anything and that will help you out tremendously.

Good Luck,

i had my treatment at cromwell. we paid £4500 that included the follow up cons, drugs, ivf treatment and blastocycst transfer. not cheap but well worth the money.

good luck.
