Egg freezing costs can vary widely by country, clinic, and whether you’re paying out of pocket or through insurance. Here’s a concise overview of typical costs you might expect in 2025 to help you plan. Direct answer
- In the United States: A single egg freezing cycle commonly runs about $12,000 to $15,000, with medication often adding $2,000 to $5,000. Storage fees typically run around $300 to $500 per year after the eggs are frozen. Total per cycle including meds is frequently in the $15,000 to $20,000 range, with ongoing yearly storage costs. Insurance coverage ranges from none to partial in some plans.
- In the United Kingdom: An egg freezing package might be around £6,500 for the initial cycle, with embryo transfer later costing extra if you choose to use the eggs. Medication and long-term storage can add to the total; some clinics itemize charges, so transparency varies.
- In Europe (general): Typical cycle costs per country often fall in the €3,500–€7,000 range for the procedure itself, with medications and storage adding to the total. Some European clinics offer all-inclusive packages, while others bill separately.
- In other regions (examples):
- UAE/Middle East: Egg freezing costs commonly described with upfront transparency on what’s included; total cycle costs can align with global ranges when medications and monitoring are included.
* Other international clinics frequently quote per-cycle prices in the ballpark of USD 3,500–8,000 plus medication and storage.
Key cost components to consider
- Initial consultation and fertility workup: Often required before starting stimulation; sometimes included in a package, sometimes charged separately.
- Ovarian stimulation (medications): The largest variable; younger patients or those needing longer stimulation may pay more.
- Monitoring and procedures: Ultrasounds and blood tests during stimulation, plus the egg retrieval procedure.
- Cryopreservation (freezing) and storage: The actual freezing is usually bundled with the cycle, but ongoing annual storage can be several hundred dollars/pounds/euros per year.
- Future use (embryo transfer, if applicable): If you decide to use the eggs later, there is often a separate cost for the thaw, fertilization, and transfer. Some packages include one planned frozen embryo transfer; others price it separately.
How to get an accurate figure for your situation
- Request a fully itemized, written treatment plan from your chosen clinic that lists:
- All cycle-related costs (stimulation, monitoring, retrieval)
- Medication costs
- Storage fees (per year and any upfront storage charges)
- Any required ancillary tests or procedures
- Costs to use the eggs in the future (e.g., thaw, fertilization, and transfer)
- Compare across clinics and consider:
- Whether a price package is offered or if items are billed separately
- The number of cycles included in a package or recommended for achieving a viable egg bank (often 12–15 eggs)
- Financial options such as payment plans or financing
- Check for insurance coverage or employer benefits in your region, as these can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs where available.
If you’d like, share your country or region and whether you’re considering a single cycle or multiple cycles, and I can tailor the cost ranges and suggest a plan to obtain precise quotes from clinics near you.
