Payment options

To help with this significant financial commitment, we work to make payment as easy as possible so that you are able to plan your finances.

For IVF treatment, you will be invoiced at each of the three stages. We outline some of the payment options below - you are welcome to use the selection that suits you best at the time of treatment.

Flexible payment options include cash, direct debit and online payment with credit card. We also offer Q Card on interest-free terms. (Fees, criteria and terms apply.) You can find more information about Q Card here.

1 Stage payment

Stage 1: Medication and monitoring are invoiced when you are about to begin your individual treatment plan and must be paid before medication is issued.

Stage 2: For egg collection and embryology, the invoice is due before egg collection. If your egg collection is on a weekend, remember to allow enough time for payment in advance.

Stage 3: For embryo transfer, you will be invoiced on the day of the transfer. Payment is required on the same day, so again, if the transfer is due to take place on a weekend, remember to allow enough time for payment in advance.

2 Pre-payment

You are welcome to pay up-front for Stages 1, 2 & 3, per your estimate. Some people like to do this as it's something less to think about if you are already feeling nervous on the days of egg pick up or embryo transfer. Of course, we will refund any over payment or invoice additional costs at the end of your treatment cycle.

3 Fertility Cover®

Pay a single up-front fee for up to three cycles of IVF over an 18-month period. If treatment does not result in a live birth after the three cycles, you will receive a 70% refund. You can find the details here or speak to the clinic for more details.

Important to note:

Prices are in NZ dollars and include gst. Prices are subject to change without notice (although your treatment quote is usually held for a month).

  • Payment can be made by cash, direct debit, online payment with credit card or Q Card.
  • The chance of pregnancy is dependent on many factors. There is no refund if you do not become pregnant unless you have the Fertility Cover® option (see above).
  • Medications cannot be refunded once they have been issued to you.

If you are concerned at any stage – we recommend booking a doctor appointment or a free nurse consultation. The sooner you make a plan the better your chances in the long term.

When to seek advice early

  • If you have polycystic ovaries, endometriosis, or have been through a cancer diagnosis; we recommend you get in touch quickly so we can talk you through all your options and give you the greatest possible chance of success.
  • If you’re a single woman considering motherhood in the future; it’s best to approach us early and consider egg freezing as this can be an option for you while you have a higher ovarian reserve and healthier eggs.

Body Mass Index calculator

Being overweight or underweight can reduce fertility, so it is important to keep your body weight within the normal healthy range.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indication of your body weight and can be calculated by dividing weight by height. You should aim for a BMI of between 20 and 25, as this will optimise your chances of conception.

Woman’s BMI below 19

Even in these modern times, nature knows best. If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

Being underweight

If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

BMI’s greater than 30

This can reduce fertility by 50%. Pregnancy for women with a 30+ BMI is often associated with problems such as maternal diabetes, high blood pressure, big babies and increased risk of caesarean section.

Add your height and weight to calculate your BMI
