UK IVF COST GUIDE
IVF Cost in the UK
An advertised IVF price may not tell you what you will ultimately need to pay. Use the UK government’s consumer guidance as a starting point, then compare what clinics include and ask them for a direct quotation based on your needs.
Why an advertised IVF price may not be the full cost
The UK government’s consumer guidance warns that a headline price may not include every essential part of treatment. It explains:
“Some clinics may advertise headline prices for fertility treatment that look attractive at first glance, but they may not include all the essential elements of treatment that will be needed, or that are likely to be needed.
Once these are added in, the price of treatment may be significantly more expensive than the advertised headline price.”
That is why it is worth looking beyond the headline figure. Explore selected IVF clinics on myIVFCompare, identify the options relevant to you, and ask the clinic itself for a direct quotation that explains what is included and what may cost extra.

- Are ICSI or other additional laboratory procedures included, or charged separately?
- Are embryo freezing and storage included, and for how long?
- Is frozen embryo transfer included, or is it a separate charge?
- What additional procedures might be recommended, and what would they cost?
