IVF & Fertility Cost Calculator
Calculate total in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle expenses, including ovarian stimulation medications, ICSI, PGT-A genetic testing, and frozen transfers.
IVF Retrieval, Medications & Lab Add-Ons
IVF Total Cycle Investment Formula
Total IVF Cycle Cost = Clinic Retrieval Base Fee + Injectable Medications ($3,500-$6,500) + ICSI Lab Fee + PGT-A Embryo Biopsy + Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)- Clinic Base Package: Monitoring ultrasounds, bloodwork, egg retrieval anesthesia, and embryology ($10,000-$15,000).
- Stimulation Medications: Gonal-F, Follistim, Menopur, Cetrotide, and trigger shots ($3,500-$7,000/cycle).
- Advanced Lab Add-Ons: Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI: $1,500-$2,500) and PGT-A genetic testing ($2,000-$4,000 for biopsy + lab fee).
- Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET): Typically $3,000 to $5,000 per subsequent transfer attempt.
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Calculation Steps:
- Gross Medical & Lab Outlays = $12,500 + $4,800 + $1,800 + $2,800 + $3,600 = $25,500
- Less Employer / Insurance Coverage = -$5,000
- Total Out-of-Pocket IVF Investment = $25,500 - $5,000 = $20,500
How to Use This Calculator
- 1Enter the quoted clinic egg retrieval package fee.
- 2Add estimated injectable fertility medication costs.
- 3Check desired options such as ICSI, PGT-A genetic testing, and frozen transfers.
Assumptions & Limitations
- Assumes one complete retrieval cycle. Live birth rates vary significantly by maternal age.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many IVF cycles does it usually take to have a baby?
Nationally, the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) reports that patients under age 35 have about a 50% cumulative live birth rate per single transfer, with most successful patients requiring an average of 1 to 2 egg retrievals and 2 to 3 transfers.
