What it costs
The same techniques, at a fraction of the price
Our prices are published and fixed. In the UK and the United States the headline figure is usually a base cycle, with ICSI, genetic testing and surgical sperm retrieval billed on top. Here they are side by side.
| Human First | UK (indicative) | USA (indicative) |
|---|
| IVF — one cycle | € 2,800 | around £5,000 | $12,000 – $17,000 |
| ICSI | € 2,800 — same price | + £1,000 – £1,500 on top of IVF | + $1,500 – $2,500 on top of IVF |
| PGT-A — genetic screening | € 350 per embryo | £2,000 and up | $3,000 – $6,000 |
| Surgical sperm retrieval | € 2,000 — Micro-TESE included | £1,400 – £2,600 for TESE; Micro-TESE on request* | $8,000 – $15,000 |
| Assisted hatching | included | charged separately | charged separately |
Two differences are worth spelling out. ICSI costs the same as IVF with us — it is not an add-on, so the choice is made on medical grounds rather than on price. And assisted hatching is included in the treatment price rather than billed per cycle.
Our own figures are the full price of each treatment and are published on the pricing page. Medication (€ 900 – € 1,500) and journey coordination (€ 430) are listed separately there, as they are everywhere.
UK and US figures are indicative ranges drawn from published clinic prices, the HFEA's stated average and patient-cost surveys; they vary widely by clinic, by state and by what each quote includes, and your own quote may differ. Always ask for an itemised quote covering surgeon, laboratory, anaesthesia and freezing.
* UK clinics publish prices for TESE but almost never for Micro-TESE, which is microsurgery and takes a specialist urologist and longer in theatre. A UK quote for it is therefore given on request and may be built up from the urologist's fee, hospital and theatre costs, general anaesthesia, embryology, freezing and storage. With us it is one published price of € 2,000.
