Fertility Laboratories of Colorado

Research

Research at Fertility Laboratories of Colorado represents our ongoing commitment to maintaining a high level of care for patients.

Fertility Laboratories of Colorado works with the Colorado Foundation for Fertility Research and the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine to continue research in the field of reproductive medicine. Significant strides have been made in the last several years in the following areas:

We are now able to identify the embryos most likely to result in a successful pregnancy which has reduced the number of embryos transferred during an IVF cycle. This has made multiple births less of a concern during fertility treatment.
We have greatly increased the chance of a successful and healthy pregnancy because of out ability to test for the presence of all 23 chromosome pairs in an embryo.
We are now able to routinely freeze eggs and embryos through a freezing method known as vitrification. Vitrification reduces the ice crystals which formed during conventional freezing techniques, thus preventing injury to cells during the freezing process. This results in a higher number of eggs and embryos surviving the freezing process.
Women with cancer and young women can now freeze their eggs for future use due to the recent advances in egg freezing techniques.

Cost

IVF Laboratory
The cost of IVF laboratory services during an IVF cycle is $3,475. If ICSI is needed there is an additional cost of $2,600.

If embryo freezing is required, there is an additional charge of $975.

If Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) is performed, the cost is extra and varies based on the lab performing the actual testing.

Clinical Laboratory
The Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine physicians order diagnostic tests based on the individual needs of each patient. As a result, there is no specific package price for clinical laboratory testing. In most cases, however, the cost of clinical diagnostic and andrology lab testing ranges from $1325-$2000.

The cost of clinical laboratory hormone testing during a routine IVF cycle is $1385. This includes estradiol, progesterone, and LH tests performed during oocyte maturation.
