Many Bangalore couples come to IVF in their thirties, after careers have settled. That timing shapes the cost more than the city does. Egg reserve falls with age. So the number of cycles, the medicine dose and the case for egg freezing all depend on when you start.
The other constraint is time off work. An IVF cycle needs a handful of days in Delhi, and the dates move with your scans. Knowing which days are fixed and which are flexible makes leave much easier to plan.
Flights between Bangalore and Delhi take roughly 2 hours 45 minutes. A Bangalore lab can handle your tests and early scans, with results checked by our doctor on WhatsApp. Below you will find our IVF price, the extras some couples need, and a note on egg freezing.
IVF price for one cycle, itemised
The medicines line rises with age and lower AMH, since a higher dose is often needed. The doctor fixes your dose after seeing your reports.

Add-ons that depend on your reports
Hospital-group packages in Bangalore sometimes bundle a few of these and exclude the rest. Here each one is priced on its own line.
| Item | When it applies | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| ICSI | Low sperm count or motility, or earlier failed fertilisation | ₹20,000 – ₹50,000 |
| Blastocyst culture (day 5) | Growing embryos to day 5 before transfer | ₹10,000 – ₹25,000 |
| Embryo freezing | When extra good embryos are available | ₹15,000 – ₹40,000 |
| Embryo or egg storage, per year | After the first year of freezing | ₹5,000 – ₹15,000 |
| Frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle | Using a frozen embryo in a later cycle | ₹40,000 – ₹80,000 |
| Assisted hatching | Some repeated-failure or frozen-embryo cases | ₹10,000 – ₹25,000 |
| Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) | Only when medically advised | ₹75,000 – ₹3,00,000 |
| TESA / PESA (surgical sperm retrieval) | No sperm in the semen sample | ₹30,000 – ₹60,000 |
| Hysteroscopy or laparoscopy | If the uterus or tubes need treatment first | ₹40,000 – ₹1,00,000 |
| Donor egg programme | Very low AMH or repeated poor egg quality | ₹70,000 – ₹1,80,000 |
| Donor sperm | When no usable sperm is available | ₹5,000 – ₹15,000 |
Egg freezing and IUI prices
Egg freezing suits women who want to delay pregnancy. IUI is a simpler first step for some couples, though it is not right for everyone.
| Treatment | Includes | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| IUI, per cycle | Including washed sperm preparation | ₹10,000 – ₹25,000 |
| Egg freezing (one cycle) | Stimulation, collection and freezing; storage extra | ₹1,50,000 – ₹2,50,000 |
Egg freezing if you are not ready for IVF yet
Egg freezing lets a woman store eggs now and use them later. The process uses the same stimulation and egg collection as IVF, but the eggs are frozen instead of fertilised. One cycle costs ₹1,50,000 – ₹2,50,000, and storage after the first year costs ₹5,000 – ₹15,000 per year.
The age at which eggs are frozen matters more than the age at which they are used. Eggs frozen younger tend to be of better quality. Freezing does not promise a pregnancy later, and the doctor explains realistic chances after an AMH test and scan.
The ART Act allows ART services to women above 21 and below 50. Plan with that limit in mind. In May 2026, the Delhi High Court said this limit applies when treatment starts, so embryos frozen earlier can still be used. Read more on our egg freezing page.
Starting IVF after 35: what changes
Starting later is common, but the planning shifts. The AMH test and an ovarian scan become the first priority, as they show how many eggs the ovaries may produce.
- The medicine dose may be higher, which raises that line of the estimate.
- Freezing extra embryos, at ₹15,000 – ₹40,000, can save a full cycle later.
- Some couples are advised more than one cycle to build up embryos.
- With very low egg reserve, a donor egg programme may be discussed, at ₹2,30,000 – ₹5,36,000 for the cycle.
Your chances rest mainly on age, egg reserve, sperm quality and embryo quality. Consult your doctor before deciding on any of these options.
Fitting a cycle around office calendars
A good first step is to fix the month, not the day. Tell the doctor which weeks work best for leave, and the cycle can often be planned to start around them.
Most of an IVF cycle happens at home. The injections can usually continue in Bangalore, with early scans done at a local lab. The wife then travels for the final scans in Delhi, which decide the egg collection date.
| Stage | Where | Work impact |
|---|---|---|
| Tests and first review | Bangalore, then WhatsApp | Short lab visits |
| First consultation | Delhi, both partners | A day or two of leave |
| Final scans and egg collection | Delhi | The longest block of leave; rest on collection day |
| Embryo transfer | Delhi | Same stay if fresh; a new short trip if frozen |
| Pregnancy test | Bangalore | A morning blood test |
Ask the doctor when you can fly home after the transfer and when to go back to work. The answer depends on your own case.
Comparing a package with an itemised cycle
A package quote gives one figure. An itemised cycle shows each part, so you can see what changes if, say, ICSI is added at ₹20,000 – ₹50,000. Ask any package provider for the same breakdown.
For national figures, see IVF cost in India.
Three questions help with any package. What happens to the price if the cycle is cancelled before collection? Is embryo freezing included, and for how long? If a second transfer is needed, is it inside the package or a new charge? Clear answers to these tell you more than the headline figure.
