Hi All,

I just thought I would add to this as I, like Mumof5, am shocked at the difference in prices. I have just booked into RPA Hospital (or Sydney IVF at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital as they call it) and the information they have given me is

Cost of IVF to patient including Blood test and some medications is $1311.00.
Cost of Frozen cycle including blood test and some medications is $434.15

If you have reached your safety net limit you can also get back more of this amount through Medicare.

The medications that they include are Puregon/Gonal F, Pregnyl (trigger injection), and Crinone(if needed)

There are no costs involved witht he egg pick up or transfer as it is a public hospital.

The only downside is that there is a wait to get a nurse interview to get started of about 2-3 months, but I figure in this waiting game whats 2-3 months.

Hope this helps with those that are a bit thin on the cash.
