IVF Costs

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know how much IVF costs at Dominion Fertility?

I believe it was 25k - 28k with meds and everything.

I think I paid 38,500 for 2 rounds with pgs. This did not include medicine. I did not qualify for shared risk there.
I was not a fan.
I moved to Shady Grove and everything from the monitoring, to the technology, to the bedside manner, to the actual success was better there. A lot of people tall smack about shady grove, but man was Dominion awful in my experience.

I did two NCIVF cycles at Dominion and was about to move to a stim cycle with them and felt like my doctor was just parroting the standard lines ... she offered no tailoring of the stim cycle and basically just said I'd have to keep trying to have a baby, not to mention that I was never assigned a nurse during my NCIVF cycles - so I would call with questions and they would often not be returned. I ended up at CCRM (after moving to MD and getting insurance that covered IVF) and I had a much better experience. I did two rounds with them and got 3 PGS normal embryos. One of which I am currently 16 weeks with.

I did natural cycle and it was about $5500.

Thank you for sharing. Cost is a big factor for me as I don't have any coverage. I've actually heard a lot of wonderful things about Shady Grove and my OB referred me there but I was trying to get all the pricing before I make a final decision where to go for my consultation.

For what it's worth, I met with all of the major DC clinics (CCRM, Shady Grove, GWU, Dominion) and all of their IVF pricing was about the same give or take a thousand or two.

I also didn't have coverage, but the biggest thing I learned was to choose the best clinic, not the cheapest. Your goal is to do as few rounds of IVF as necessary and better to pay say $1,000 more at a better clinic than have to pay for a second round at a cheaper one.

I agree with this ... but it's important to be realistic that it might take more than one round.

I originally went with Dominion because my insurance covered diagnostic testing with them, but not Shady Grove. The actual IVF was out of pocket at either place. I wish I would have consulted both places because at Shady Grove, I would have qualified for their Shared Risk program because they had just extended it to 41. At Dominion I didn't...but I didn't know that. So almost 50k later I ended up at Shady Grove and had a diagnosis based on PGS results at Dominion that would disqualify me from shared risk, and I was too close to cut off to be able to fit in their program anyway. We are over $100k into it but am currently pregnant from my first round at SG?
