The cost of IVF?

I was thinking that an IVF treatment would be mildly expensive?
How many attempt does the initial payment cover?
Surely a minimum of two implantations, 4, 5?
Would it not be to the treating doctor's advantage if several attempts failed?
The more treatments, the more money it would cost.
Has any sweep had a successful IVF treatment?

A lot goes into in vitro fertilization. From egg collection, unfreezing sperm, combining the two, to checking the recipients womb can hold the zygote.

Just even one implantation costs a lot of money.

According to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, the average cost for one in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle is more than $12,000. 1 However, prices vary significantly and basic IVF can be as much as $25,000 or may be as low as $10,000. It's rarely lower than that.

@DeWayfarer Sometimes there can be multiple attempts, so very expensive?

@Gusman as you can see in just that little snip, yes! I does say just one attempt the average cost is 12,000. That's 12,000 US dollars!
