Typical costs: 1  The cost of harvesting and freezing eggs is about $7,000 to $12,000. When the woman is ready to use the eggs in the future, the cost of thawing, fertilizing and transferring the resulting embryo to the uterus will run an additional $4,000 to $5,000 -- bringing the total cost possibly as high as $17,000.
Because the quality and number of eggs declines with age, egg freezing has been offered as a way for a woman to harvest eggs while still relatively young in order to preserve future fertility; or, as a possible solution for cancer patients who expect to become infertile as a result of treatment. Medications used to stimulate the ovaries to produce excess eggs for harvesting usually cost, on average, $2,700. 2  Most clinics charge an egg storage fee of about $300 to $600 per year.
