According to the most recent available survey conducted in 2006 by ASRM (the American Society for Reproductive Medicine), the average cost of a comprehensive IVF Cycle in the US was $12,400.

Medications typically averaged another $3,500 - $7,000, depending on several variables such as how much medication was required to generate the desired response to the drug and how the pharmacy packaged the medications. At the time of that survey, the approximate cost of a typical IVF Cycle was $17,150.

Since the survey, medical costs have escalated considerably, making the cost of infertility treatment even more expensive. Multiple factors are driving these increases: first, the cost of infertility drugs alone has increased more than 107 % in just the last seven years (source: MediSpan), increasing medication costs to as much as $7,000 per average cycle.

Second, advances in the treatment of infertility have seen many breakthroughs, and new (and costly) technologies have been introduced (e.g., Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis and Screening (PGD, PGS) and Gender Selection/Microsort, EmbryoScope, CCS, Egg Freezing, etc.) so that treatment options have expanded, along with the treatment price tag. In fact, depending on the additional procedures utilized, the price increases in fertility-specific medications and specific geographic location, the current average cost of treatment is approximately $18,500, but can even exceed $30,000 for a single IVF Cycle.
