How much does IVF cost in London?
We’re breaking down costs into three specific sections to help you better understand the process from start to finish. Before starting IVF, you’ll go through pre-treatment testing to understand any fertility challenges. Then, you’ll go through treatment, including any additional treatments your doctor recommends.
Fertility assessment
costs in London
Before you start treatment, you’ll need to visit a fertility clinic for a consultation. During your appointment, you’ll meet with a doctor for a series of tests and scans to determine the best treatment plan for you:
Your doctor will get to know you, understand your goals and timeline, and make an initial recommendation after reviewing your tests and scans.
Your doctor will do an ultrasound to make sure your ovaries and other reproductive organs are healthy. If you have an IUD, they’ll be able to see it and can recommend when to remove it.
Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) is inside cells in the ovaries’ follicles. Testing it can estimate egg count and the quality of those eggs. The higher your AMH level, the better.
If you’re planning to do IVF with a partner, the clinic will ask them for a semen sample. The staff will check the sperm’s quantity and quality and share any concerns with your doctor.
Fertility treatment costs in London
There are many different options to treat fertility issues. Depending on your situation, your doctor may recommend more than one treatment for the best outcomes.
We have calculated the cost of treatment to include the average cost of medication and all essential procedures for one egg retrieval and embryo transfer.

A doctor prescribes hormonal injections to stimulate the ovaries and produce multiple eggs. Those eggs are fertilised with sperm in a lab, then implanted into a woman’s womb.
Also called “shared motherhood,” it’s when one partner goes through the egg retrieval process, uses donor sperm to fertilise the egg, and the other carries the embryo to term.
Same process as Standard IVF, except a doctor selects the best quality sperm to inject directly into the egg in a lab. The resulting embryo is implanted into a woman’s womb.
Same process as Standard IVF, except instead of using a partner’s sperm, it comes from a donor. Ideal for people with sperm quality concerns or inheritable genetic conditions.

Additional fertility treatment costs in London
Depending on your age and medical history, your doctor might recommend additional tests and procedures.
Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (pronounced “ann-yuh-ploy-dee”) checks embryos for genetic abnormalities. You can test your embryos before storing or using them.
There is set up fee and also a cost you pay per embryo you test.
Some people don’t release sperm when they ejaculate, and some don’t ejaculate at all. In that case, a doctor might recommend surgical sperm retrieval to retrieve good quality sperm.
Your doctor might recommend a HyCoSy (hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography), pronounced “high cosy”. It’s a test of the structure of your uterus and fallopian tubes.
