Factors Determining IVF Cost – 2026

Overview

In 2026, the cost of in vitro fertilization (IVF) is not a fixed figure. It varies depending on the patient, treatment protocol, and additional procedures.

1. Female Age

At an advanced age, higher drug doses may be required, and the need for multiple attempts due to a decreased success rate can increase the cost.

2. Ovarian Reserve (AMH)

Patients with low reserve may require more intensive treatment. In cases of high reserve, OHSS prevention measures can affect the cost.

3. Drug Dosage Used

This is one of the most significant cost items. It can vary between 50,000–80,000 TL depending on the individual.

4. Treatment Protocol

Different protocols such as antagonist, long protocol, and DuoStim directly affect the cost.

5. Laboratory Procedures

ICSI, embryo culture, and advanced embryology techniques are included in the cost but may vary by center.

6. Embryo Freezing

Freeze-all or the storage of surplus embryos incurs additional costs.

7. Genetic Tests (PGT)

Embryo genetic analysis significantly increases the cost.

8. Additional Surgical Procedures

Hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, or sperm retrieval procedures (TESE) incur additional costs.

9. Number of Attempts

When more than one attempt is required instead of a single cycle, the total cost increases.

10. Clinic and Center Selection

Clinical experience, laboratory quality, and the city factor can affect prices.

Conclusion

IVF cost is personalized. The most accurate approach is to evaluate the entire process with patient-based planning.
