Sims IVF is at the forefront in providing advanced infertility testing – we offer a number of tests that other clinics in Ireland do not offer – and new treatments are being pioneered and introduced all the time.
Costs and treatments between clinics do vary, so it is important you know what you're getting to help you make an informed choice. Our Egg Donation EDE programme costs are all inclusive (including a second embryo transfer should the first be unsuccessful – assuming there are sufficient embryo’s). Hormone monitoring bloods have also recently been included in the cost of IVF/ICSI.
We strongly believe in transparency over pricing – and the list below is all encompassing so you are always aware of the costs and not surprised by hidden extras.
Principal Treatment Procedures
Treatment procedure charges include planning and co-ordination, ultrasound scans (carried out as part of the procedure), administration, anaesthesia, doctors / nursing fees and laboratory fees. Embryo freezing and storage for one year is also included if required.
Medications, blood tests (excluding cycle monitoring bloods), and counsellor’s fees are not included. Patients are asked to note that payment is due prior to each treatment cycle.
