| Gender selection (PGD/PGS) | 150,000-250,000 | Not available* | Not available* |

What adds to the cost
Commonly recommended add-ons charged separately in all three countries:
- Blood tests and monitoring ultrasounds (may be billed separately)
- Genetic counseling fees (required for PGT)
- Annual frozen embryo storage fees (1,000-3,000 per year)
- Travel and accommodation for international patients
- Interpreter fees if needed
Country-by-country differences
Thailand has the lowest prices among the three countries, especially for gender selection packages. Singapore sits in the middle, but donor costs are higher due to identity-release regulations. Australia is the most expensive for base cycles, but Medicare and private insurance rebates significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs for eligible patients.
