Third-generation IVF refers to in vitro fertilization with Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A or PGT-M), used to screen for chromosomal abnormalities or inherited genetic diseases. The costs are higher than standard IVF due to the advanced testing involved.
✅ 1. Pre-IVF Medical Testing (for both partners)
| Test | Cost (USD) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Female hormone panel (AMH, FSH, etc.) | $300 – $500 | Checks ovarian reserve and hormonal levels |
| Transvaginal ultrasound | $200 – $400 | Examines uterus and ovaries |
| Semen analysis (for male) | $150 – $300 | Tests sperm count, motility, morphology |
| Infectious disease panel (HIV, Hep B, etc.) | $200 – $400 | Mandatory pre-IVF screening |
| Karyotyping (chromosome test) | $600 – $1,000 | Recommended if there’s a history of disorders |
| General health exams & evaluations | $300 – $500 | May vary based on personal conditions |
✔️ Estimated total for testing: $1,500 – $3,000
✅ 2. IVF Treatment Costs (Per Cycle)
| Service | Cost Range (USD) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Basic IVF procedure | $12,000 – $18,000 | Includes stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo culture |
| Fertility medications | $3,000 – $5,000 | Varies depending on patient response |
| Embryo freezing + 1-year storage | $800 – $1,200 | Additional storage billed annually after |
| Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A/M) | $4,000 – $7,000 | Main feature of third-generation IVF |
| Embryo transfer | $1,500 – $3,000 | Sometimes included in the main IVF package |
| Monitoring/coordination/lab fees | $500 – $1,500 | Depends on the clinic |
✔️ Total estimated cost for one full cycle: $23,000 – $35,000
✅ 3. Possible Additional Costs
- Extra embryo freezing (annual): $500 – $1,000/year
- PGT testing for additional embryos: Extra cost may apply after first 6–8 embryos
- Nutritional supplements / support medication: $200 – $800
- Carrier screening for inherited conditions: $300 – $600/person
✅ Tips & Considerations
- Third-generation IVF is ideal for couples with advanced maternal age, recurrent miscarriages, or known genetic risks
- Some testing can be done in your home country to reduce expenses in the U.S.
- Multi-cycle packages or success-based programs may be more economical
