Make sure to ask the following things before coming to India to be more sure about the cost:
• Are all medications included (for donor + recipient)?
• How many embryos are included in freezing/storage?
• What’s the repeat FET (frozen embryo transfer) cost if the first attempt fails?
• Cancellation/refund policies if donor response or lining is poor?
• Are there any hidden charges for genetic testing, advanced culture, or anesthesia?
