After all, IVF is quite an expensive, emotional and financial commitment. The most frequently asked (and confusing) question here at Maaeri is: “How much will IVF cost me?” And well deserved. A lot of information is passing around, which, sadly, is not all transparent.
This blog breaks down the cost of IVF in India in a very comprehensive and transparent way so that you know what you are up against before you begin your treatment- no hidden surprises here, no sweet talk either—nothing except facts, figures and clarity.
The average price of one IVF cycle in India would range between 1.2lakhs to 2.5 lakhs. This is only the lower-end price. Include drugs, tests, procedures such as ICSI or freezing of embryos, and it can reach 3.5-4 lakhs or more. It works like this, step by step:
INR 10 to 20K
Before IVF even starts, you will require:
At Maaeri, we commonly incorporate these tests in an early fertility workup bundle to save you some money at the front end.
INR 60 000 to 90 000
This is one such substantial cost. These are injections that contain hormones that will make you produce several eggs, and they differ depending on:
Lower-cost options are available at clinics, although it is necessary to make sure that quality is not affected.
1.2 lakh to lakh 2.5
This includes:
Here at Maaeri, we have all-inclusive packages of IVF; however, other clinics will have you pay per step. Be sure to ask what is included.
Extra 40,000 to 70,000
In ICSI, an individual sperm is injected into an egg. It is usually prescribed in case of:
ICSI may not be available within regular IVF packages, so be sure to take a second look before thinking it is.
30,000 to 40,000 in rupees (to freeze)
10,000 to 15,000/year (storage)
When you get several good-quality embryos, you may freeze the excess ones and transfer them at a later time. This spares you from repeating the entire cycle.
Cryopreservation is a clever option, but it is not always included in the IVF package.
INR 30000 to 60000
You will need a frozen embryo transfer cycle, should your first fresh transfer fail to lead to pregnancy, or in the case that you have some embryos frozen to be used in the future.
This includes:
The prices depend on the support of the hormones, the medication, and the monitoring.
Donor sperm: 20,000 to 10,000
Donor eggs: 70,000 to 1,50,000
On other occasions, couples might require donor gametes because of infertility problems. Such services are associated with legal, medical, and emotional factors and extra expenses.
Maaeri is ethical and completely transparent when it comes to sourcing, and donor support is part of your plan.
1.5 lakhs and 2.5 lakhs
Not a requirement, but strongly advised on some occasions:
This test examines embryos before implantation to ensure only the healthiest are selected — increasing your chances of success.
₹10,000 to 30,000
These include:
They might appear small, but they accumulate over time. Make sure you request to see a breakdown of the prescription.
Every clinic is not clear on what is included.
