Hi everyone,

I was quoted at Reprogenetics:
2500 biopsy
1700 FISH
300 for technician to come
350 for courier

I think it is expensive compared to other posts.

What do you think?

Should I try another lab or is it expensive b/c the outside embryologist is coming to do the biopsy. I'm confused, no one is giving correct info it's like pulling teeth.

I'm cycling at LI IVF , does anyone know if in house embryologists do biopsy? I have to call Monday to ask doctor?
Or should I try another lab?

My clinic charged $3500 for FISH. Your clinic doesn't have anyone there that is capable of doing a biopsy. They may not do a lot of PGD. Many clinics do have embryologists on staff capable of doing a biopsy but they still may charge for it!

What is you TOTAL cycle cost? 11,200 is HRC which is pretty good- I paid $15,000 which is towards the top of the spectrum.

I just checked SART and LI Fertility has really good success rates- they don't do a ton of PGD, but they must be doing something right to get their live birth rates!

On Monday, I will call to find out if in house embryologist does it and I'm calling all the labs too.

I don't want to spend 5000 and then have to do this all over again especially if I can get a cheaper price. So confused.

The good thing is that I don't pay anything for ivf or isci, it is covered under my insurance.
