6 Fertility Clinic Contract Gotchas
- Embryo Storage & Disposition: HIGH Annual storage fees ($500-$1000+) continue indefinitely. Abandonment clauses may allow clinic to dispose of embryos
- Success Rate Disclaimers: HIGH No guarantees of pregnancy or live birth. Success rates advertised may not match your age/situation
- Medication Costs Exclusion: HIGH IVF cycle quotes often exclude medications ($3,000-$7,000+). Monitoring visits may also be extra
- Genetic Testing Fees: MEDIUM PGT-A/PGT-M testing costs thousands per embryo. Often presented as optional but strongly recommended
- Donor/Surrogacy Provisions: MEDIUM Using donor eggs/sperm or surrogates involves complex additional agreements with separate legal implications
- Cycle Cancellation Policies: MEDIUM If cycle is cancelled due to poor response, fees may not be refundable. Partial cycles still billed
