If you’ve started exploring IVF, you’ve probably noticed one thing right away: It can feel financially overwhelming. Many people assume that growing their family through IVF is out of reach, but that’s not always true.
At Fertility & Lifespan Medical Institute in San Diego, California, Steven A. Brody, MD, PhD, and his team make high-quality fertility care more affordable and accessible without compromising outcomes. In fact, with the right approach, you can significantly reduce the cost of IVF.
Take a moment to learn five surprising ways to save on IVF.
Not all IVF pricing is created equal. Some clinics advertise low base rates but add multiple fees throughout the process. Once you’ve added your base clinic fees plus medications and other costs, you no longer see that “low” pricing that was advertised.
At Fertility & Lifespan Medical Institute, we share our numbers up front. Our standard IVF cycle is $5,990. Compare this to the national average, which CareCredit estimates at $19,000 for IVF with fresh eggs. That doesn’t include medication, transfers, or diagnostics.
Our clinic fee of $5,990 includes:
This kind of transparent, bundled pricing helps you avoid unexpected costs and plan with confidence.
Note: Our standard cycle fees don’t include the cost of medications, lab tests, or the pre-cycle evaluation, as these costs can vary from woman to woman.
Mini IVF, short for minimal-stimulation IVF, is a less intensive approach that uses lower medication doses, significantly reducing your costs.
At $4,990 per cycle, mini IVF may be a great option if you:
Mini IVF may reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy compared to conventional IVF, primarily because it typically produces fewer eggs and embryos. However, the risk of multiples ultimately depends on how many embryos are transferred. Dr. Brody can help determine if mini IVF is appropriate for your specific situation.
Medications are often one of the largest additional expenses in IVF, and while they aren’t included in the base cycle fee, there are ways to manage costs.
Dr. Brody may adjust medication protocols based on your needs, recommend cost-effective pharmacy options, and help you avoid overmedication.
Choosing an experienced fertility specialist, such as Dr. Brody, can actually save you money in the long run. He brings more than 30 years of experience to Fertility & Lifespan Medical Institute. He’s also co-authored an IVF textbook with Robert G. Edwards, PhD, the pioneer of IVF.
Dr. Brody’s expertise allows for:
This can help you avoid costly delays or repeated cycles.
At Fertility & Lifespan Medical Institute, your IVF cycle includes monitoring, procedures, laboratory services, and ICSI, all in one location. You won’t need to travel between multiple offices for appointments, labs, or procedures, and flexible payment options are available to support your budget.
This streamlined approach not only simplifies your experience but can also help lower overall costs compared to fragmented care across multiple providers.
Affordable IVF doesn’t mean you cut corners. Rather, Dr. Brody and his team focus on helping you build your family without unnecessary financial burden. We deliver efficient, high-quality care with transparent pricing and personalized treatment.
