So, I thought I was taking a break until next year when we do IVF but I have my IVF consultation tomorrow morning! Yay! I'm sure this has been posted before, but what can I expect to pay in addition to the IVF cost? I know meds aren't included, how much are those, and what else isn't included? Thanks in advance...

Re: Hello IVF...
Thanks! I know I'll get the deets tomorrow but I'm so anxious/excited that I couldn't wait! Congrats again on your great beta!!
My RE says that the average range for meds if you OOP is between $2k and $6k.
In addition to AH and ICSI and some of the other add-ons like CGH or PGD, my clinic does not include the cost for the provision of anesthesia for ER in their cycle cost. That will add about $550 to each of my cycles! Alos, some clinics do not include the cost of freezing or storing embryos if you are lucky enough to have some to freeze/store.
Good luck at your consult tomorrow!

My meds were covered by insurance but I only got a $5000 max allowance. I used up all of that insurance money and paid close to another $1000 OOP for all my meds.
It will really depend on your protocol and the amount of meds you need.
