Understanding IVF medication costs
A typical IVF stimulation uses FSH injections (e.g. Gonal-F, Follistim) to grow follicles, a GnRH antagonist or agonist to prevent premature ovulation, a trigger shot (hCG / Ovidrel) to mature the eggs, and progesterone to support the luteal phase after transfer.
Medication is often the largest variable line item in an IVF cycle. In the US a full stimulation's drugs commonly run $3,000-$6,000, varying widely by protocol, dose, and whether generic urine-derived drugs are used. Many China-based clinics bundle medication into the package at a lower cost — always ask for an itemized quote.
