FET Cycle

Identifying FET Cycle Fees

As with all treatments, patients should know the cost of an FET cycle if they wish to compare clinics. But different clinics have different philosophies on what they choose to include in their FET cycle costs and what additional items they advise or require their patients to add.

Here at Concept, our philosophy is to keep things simple; we rarely advise patients to take any add-ons because we think they are usually not necessary, not proven, or are unlikely to improve the final result. All the necessary costs (apart from medications) are included in a single price.  This allows patients a reasonably accurate forecast of the total cost of an FET cycle at Concept.

The FET cycle fee includes:

• Nurse planning talk
• Electronic Consents
• Medical and clinical guidance and support throughout
• All monitoring ultrasound scans throughout the cycle
• All monitoring blood tests throughout the cycle.
• Embryo thaw and transfer.
• Embryoscope time-lapse embryology (where possible).
• Blastocyst culture where appropriate
• HFEA fees
• QHCG blood test 2 weeks after embryo transfer
• Follow-up consultation or 6-week pregnancy scan

The FET cycle excludes:

Prior to the cycle:

• Initial consultation and diagnostic tests
• Viral screening
• Additional procedures

During the cycle:

• Medications

After the cycle:

• Any further investigations or treatments after transfer
• Any support required to maintain the pregnancy

What is the definition of a “cycle”?

It is important to know this when looking at costs because anything outside a cycle is usually charged as an additional item. A cycle starts on “day 1” which is when menstruation starts, and lasts until the day of insemination.
