The clinic we are using has an average cost for conventional IVF across the board and is about $4000 for Natural Cycle IVF. It seems that the clinic offering $9000 for Natural Cycle IVF is only doing so to discourage patients to use it. Which is a shame. I agree with Scott that your figures for Natural Cycle IVF are high.

It seems you have found a center that is cheap, but are you sure it's not across-the-board cheap and not just cheap for a natural cycle? So if it's $4000 for a natural-cycle, is it also less than $12000 for a stimulated cycle? In that case, it still would work out that a stimulated is more economical, even at that center. Good luck!

We've actually found several clinics that are willing to offer natural-cylce ivf for considerably less than $9000. XXXXX in the XXXX area, for example, offers a cycle for $4000, some of which you may get back if the cycle is unsuccessful. So, for us, three cycles of natural-ivf at XXXXX is about the same finacially as one cycle of traditonal/stimulated ivf at our local clinic. And, with three cycles, the success rate is about the same as well. Since natural-cycle ivf is so much easier than traditional/stimulated ivf (no daily injections, minimal missed work, etc.), it proved to be the best option for us!
