- Legal fees: Prices rise with more detail, nuance, negotiation in contract.
- Psychological fees: Prices vary by provider and number of people to be evaluated.
- Surrogate Health insurance: Varies by their insurer, policy, number of embryos transferred.
Egg vs Embryo
- Egg retrieval: Costs for egg retrieval are often quoted on a per cycle basis. Women may elect to do 2 or more egg freezing cycles, since many IVF patients are not successful on their first cycle and opt to continue treatment.
Embryo Testing
- PGT-A (Genetic Testing): Sunfish has seen some clinics include the cost of the testing in the IVF offering.
Donor egg vs “my own”
- Donor egg: Assumes fresh egg donor.
