IVF (In-vitro fertilization) is a life-changing journey for many couples, but for most Indian families, it’s also a serious financial decision. While IVF opens the doors to parenthood, the cost often raises a big question — “Can we afford it?” The answer lies not in compromise but in smart planning.
At Mediversal Fertility & IVF Clinic, we help you make informed decisions about your treatment and costs, so your dream of having a baby doesn’t feel financially impossible.
Why IVF Feels Expensive – Breaking the Myth
The perception that IVF is “too expensive” often stems from a lack of transparency. Unlike other medical treatments, IVF is a multi-step process that spans weeks and involves high-precision technology, medication, and expert manpower.
However, the right information can help you prepare in advance and minimize surprises.
Breakdown of IVF Costs in India
Before you plan your budget, it’s important to understand where the money goes.
Average Total Cost per IVF cycle: ₹1.2 to ₹2.5 lakh**, depending on the clinic and add-ons.
How to Plan Your IVF Budget Like a Pro
Ask your clinic for a detailed breakdown of what’s included in the package:
- Is embryo freezing extra?
- Are consultations unlimited?
- Is post-transfer medication included?
Mediversal IVF provides all-inclusive packages with optional add-ons clearly specified.
Some procedures may not be part of your initial quote:
- Embryo freezing: ** ₹30,000–₹40,000
- PGT-A or genetic testing: ** ₹30,000–₹60,000
- Blastocyst transfer: ** ₹10,000–₹15,000
These add-ons increase success rate but also increase cost. Budget accordingly.
Not all IVF packages are equal. Cheaper doesn’t always mean better. Check:
- Lab quality
- Embryologist experience
- Egg stimulation protocol
- Follow-up and transparency
Dr. Nidhi advises: “Understand what you’re paying for. A poorly done IVF can cost more in the long run — emotionally and financially.”
Many patients are surprised by last-minute charges. Always ask:
- Can you give me a printed breakdown?
- What charges may arise during the cycle?
- What happens if IVF fails — are there refunds or carry-forward options?
Many leading IVF clinics (including Mediversal) offer:
- Zero-cost EMI options
- Flexible payments in 2–3 tranches
- Discounts for early bookings or fertility camps
You can plan with as little as ₹30,000–₹50,000 as the first installment.
- Corporate insurance: Some policies now cover partial IVF costs.
- Govt. subsidies: Schemes under ART Act may reduce costs in future.
- Fertility Camps: Clinics often give discounts, free scans, or checkups.

IVF on a Budget: What NOT to Compromise
- Embryo lab quality – Cheap IVF labs may not follow cleanroom protocols.
- Doctor’s experience – Senior doctors charge more, but their success rates justify it.
- Medication quality – Avoid cheaper hormones that may not suit your body.
Remember: IVF is not just a bill. It’s an investment in life.
Real Cost vs. Emotional Value
When budgeting, consider:
- Mental peace of being under good care
- Avoiding repeat cycles
- Emotional support throughout
Success in fewer cycles = Long-term savings**
Dr. Nidhi’s Tips for Financially Prepared IVF
- Meet the doctor at least 2 months before the cycle
- Save minimum ₹2 lakh or opt for EMI options
- Track expenses via Excel or budget apps
- Use camps to get free consultations and scans
- Be emotionally ready — mental clarity saves unnecessary expenses
Conclusion: IVF is a Journey, Not Just a Bill
