Egg or Embryo Freezing

  • Storage: We assume you’ll budget for 5 years of storage. Storage costs range from $500 to $1,000 per year, according to an industry review conducted July 2022, with the first year often free. We assume a midpoint of $750/year.
  • Medication costs: Costs will vary from person to person, the above is intended to represent an average cost.

Surrogacy

  • Gestational surrogate fees: Costs may vary based on the experience and track record of the surrogate and their willingness to carry twins.
  • Agency fee: Sunfish has seen prices tend to rise for more “full service” agencies.
  • 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.
