Fees FAQ

How much should I expect to pay for an IVF cycle?

The cost of an IVF cycle depends on the amount of medications required to stimulate follicle growth. Generally speaking, you can expect to pay $14,000 to $21,000 for a cycle including your medications. Some patients require additional lab services that can add to costs. Patients who require ICSI – a procedure where a single sperm is injected into an egg – will pay an additional fee. If there are any surplus embryos to be frozen, patients can also expect to pay an additional fees which includes the first year of storage.  There is an additional fee for PGT.

How much should I expect to pay for an IUI cycle?

Most of the fees for an IUI cycle are covered by funding from the MOHLTC. For patients using partner sperm, the lab washes the sperm prior to insemination (a cost of $850). Sperm washing is a process whereby individual sperms are separated from the seminal fluid. If you are using donor sperm, you can expect to pay $300 plus medications.

It's important to note, that MOHLTC funding of IUI services is a limited budget, which can run out between the months of January through March. If this occurs, you will be informed prior to a cycle start and have the option to pay additional costs or wait until funding is available again in April. Additional costs include $200 IUI procedure and variable costs associated with ultrasound/blood monitoring per visit.

Why do you charge a fee for processing of donor sperm?

The Ottawa Fertility Centre has a state of the art laboratory that meets the highest standards for safety and quality in the industry. Your donor specimens are safe in our clinic. Upon receipt of specimens, donor units are transferred into a cryo tank in our laboratory. To ensure safety and accuracy, two Andrologists (lab technologists) are involved. The Andrologists transfer the frozen specimens, document the specimens in our inventory system, and check all documentation to ensure compliance with Health Canada regulations. Fees also include storage for up to one year and thawing on the day of insemination.
