My $25K IVF cycle included PGD (my eggs are old, so it was recommended); the quotes I got for donor egg were including the donor fees (in house donors) and all medications for the donor too ($3 – $5K). They did have it all broken out, showing fees around $20K, but once I added the donor fees and everything required for the cycle it was in that $30K – $40K range.

Wow! I can only remember looking around and seeing quotes from around $15-$20k.

I paid around $25K for my first IVF cycle with my own eggs in the US, slightly less for the second one. When I was researching DE in the US, the costs were more like $32 – $40K per cycle.

Wow, that is a significant decrease in cost. Do you mind me asking how much you ended up paying in the US?

This is such great information. When I was researching my options, I was amazed to find out that going abroad can cut the cost by 1/2. A regular IVF cycle (with a European vacation) was only about $7500 – a donor IVF cycle was around $10,000. There are several US based agencies that will walk you through the whole process – the one I used was http://www.myivfalternative.com.
