How much does IVF-ICSI cost?

Michelle Emblenton, a biochemist at inviTRA, answers this question in the video:

Like any other fertility treatment, the costs of IVF with ICSI can vary greatly from country to country, state to state and from clinic to clinic.

You also need to think about other techniques that are being used alongside your IVF-ICSI. If you are using donor eggs or donor sperm, this will increase the price. If you are having pre-implantation or genetic diagnosis or need a testicular biopsy in order to retrieve the sperm sample.

In general, as a guideline prize, in the United States you can expect to pay between $13,000 and $15,000 for an IVF cycle with ICSI. Generally, although ICSI is a slightly more complex technique than classical IVF, it is included in the price of an IVF cycle.

Usually, the prices you are given for an IVF-ICSI treatment won't include the cost of the hormonal medication required to stimulate your ovaries or prepare the endometrium. This can be an increase of price between $2,000 and $5,000, depending on the particular medications that you need to use.

Something else to bear in mind when you're looking at the prices of these treatments is that the first cycle isn't always successful. Many clinics, however, do offer multicycle treatment prices or prices for transfer of frozen embryos if the treatment was unsuccessful the first time round.

So, it is always worth informing yourself with all the options available to you before deciding on your treatment plan.
