Fertility care, Lagos
Trying for a baby and it has not happened yet.
Most couples in this position are not told what is actually wrong. They are sent for one test at a time, the man is often never tested at all, and IVF is offered before anyone has looked. We start by finding out, for both of you, in one morning.

If it is IVF, the price includes the drugs
Almost every IVF price published in Lagos leaves the fertility drugs out, and they commonly add N400,000 to N1,000,000 to a cycle. Your written quote here names every line, drugs included, before anything is paid. The fertility centre sits inside a hospital, so if your ovaries over-respond after egg collection you are admitted by the same team that treated you.

Questions people ask
When should we see a fertility doctor?
After twelve months of trying, or six months if she is 35 or older. Straight away if her periods are absent or irregular, or either of you has a known problem such as fibroids, a past pelvic infection or a groin operation.
Do we have to do IVF?
Most couples do not start there. The fertility check tells you which of four routes fits: tablets, surgery, IUI or IVF. You get one recommendation, with its price, not a menu.
How much does IVF cost in Lagos?
Published Lagos prices for one cycle sit roughly between N1,800,000 and N3,500,000, and most leave out the drugs, which commonly add N400,000 to N1,000,000. Our written quote includes the drugs, so you can compare honestly.
Is this confidential?
Yes. Your enquiry is seen only by the fertility team, and nothing is shared with an employer, an HMO or family. The text message we send says only that we received your message.
