IVF medications, often referred to as fertility drugs, play an important role in IVF treatment. These synthetic hormones mimic the body’s natural processes, stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs, which are essential for successful fertilisation.
Fertility drugs play a crucial role in the IVF process by:
They encourage the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of just one. For eg. FSH, hMG, hCG.
Certain medications help prepare the uterine lining to receive a fertilised egg. For eg. Progesterone.
Medications are used to prevent eggs from being released too early.
Medication costs alone can push IVF treatment costs by up to 20%
Many clinics abroad – and in Cyprus – typically provide quotes that cover only the treatment itself, without factoring in additional expenses like medication.
While some clinics offer all-inclusive IVF packages, these may seem convenient but can often be more expensive than anticipated if they do not clearly include the cost of medications. It’s important to confirm the full breakdown of treatment and medication costs with the clinic.
In North Cyprus, IVF medication for patients undergoing IVF with their own eggs typically ranges from £1,000 to £1,800. This includes the cost of ovarian stimulation injections, hCG shots, and other essential medications like progesterone.

The specific fertility drugs prescribed will vary based on individual factors like age, ovarian reserve, and treatment goals. Typically, the process involves:
A fertility specialist will discuss your medical history, perform tests, and create a personalised treatment plan.
Based on the treatment plan, you'll be prescribed specific fertility drugs.
You'll self-administer injections under the skin to stimulate egg growth.
Through regular ultrasounds and blood tests, follicle development and hormone levels will be monitored
Once follicles are mature, eggs are retrieved through a minor surgical procedure.
IVF medication prices can greatly vary depending on:
The total average cost of IVF medication in North Cyprus typically ranges between £1,000 and £1,800 for patients who undergo IVF treatment using their own eggs.
On the other hand, the total average cost of IVF medication for a patient who begins their ovarian stimulation at home, for instance in the UK, typically ranges between £1,300 to £1,500 for the stimulation medication alone, plus an additional £600 – £700 for if the treatment has successfully led to pregnancy.
The cost of fertility medication for patients undergoing IVF with Egg Donation is somewhere between £700 and £1,200 if the medications are purchased in North Cyprus.
Many patients who travel from abroad to North Cyprus for IVF treatment commence their ovarian stimulation at home in order to reduce the number of days they need to spend in Cyprus.
