How much does infertility testing cost?

Tara asked:


My husband and I have been ttc for 9 months. That isn’t nearly as long as some people have to try, but for 9 months I have not been ovulating correctly. Even 150mg of Clomid did not make me O right. I’m thinking about having the infertility testing done, but of course, my insurance does not cover it. I’m from Arkansas and I realize it is probably not as expensive here as some places, but I wondering how much the approximate cost of infertility testing is.

    not for sure about the testing itself (ours was pretty simple to figure out)…out here in CA I know the fertility clinic we used for IVF is about $12K per IVF cycle, $1900 per frozen transfer, and $3K per IUI cycle…I know it sounds expensive…military wouldn’t pay for any of this with us, but I go in for my 7 week ultrasound on Monday after trying one IVF cycle so to me it is all worth it…and have 4 embies that are frozen right now if we want more kids later…

    Best of luck to you!

    I have researched it in Nebraska, and it runs about the same as the prices bama had for California.

    I can’t remember, but it certainly added up. I think the HSG was about $500-700, the sperm analysis was about $150, the bloodwork panel for hormones was around $300 for the things they were looking for. But I’m not sure you will need any of these if ovulation seems to be your issue. Usually these tests are used to define the problem, and if you didn’t O on clomid, I’d say that’s the issue.

    Personally, I’d skip the tests for now and use the money to do an IUI with injectable medications (like Gonal-F) to see if stronger meds can jumpstart your ovaries.

    Good luck!
