When comparing IVF options from the UAE, the headline price rarely tells the whole story. Understanding what a quote includes helps you compare clinics fairly.
What a base cycle usually covers
A base IVF estimate typically includes ovarian stimulation monitoring, egg retrieval, laboratory fertilisation, embryo culture and a single fresh transfer. Confirm each of these is listed.
Common extras to ask about
- Medication: stimulation drugs are often quoted separately and vary by protocol.
- ICSI: injecting a single sperm into each egg may be an add-on.
- Freezing and storage: for surplus embryos.
- Genetic testing (PGT): if recommended.
- Donor gametes: where applicable.
Getting a like-for-like comparison
Ask every clinic for a written, itemised estimate covering the base cycle plus any likely extras for your situation. Indicative totals in India are commonly around AED 11,000–18,000 before medication, but your plan may differ. (Placeholder figures — verify directly.)
