IVF clinics and countries abroad

Choosing an IVF clinic abroad

As overseas patients constitute even up to 50% of all patients in European clinics, doctors are fully fluent in English and the standard of customer service is high. Clinics will often offer a range of services including airport transfers, online consultations and emergency contact.

What are the reasons patients decide for IVF abroad? 

• The reasons may vary as per patients’ needs and home country.
• Some of patients decide to go abroad because of the budget
• or limited availability of the treatment
• or better  treatment options abroad (e.g. egg donor availability)
• or better IVF treatment quality.

The average cost of IVF and egg donation in Europe

The cost of IVF treatment across Europe (in popular IVF destinations) is more favorable when compared to the UK, Germany, Scandinavia, Australia, USA and other countries. In Poland, IVF won eggs starts at €2,500 while egg donation costs start at circa €4,500 per donor egg cycle. The most expensive country included on the list is Spain where IVF own eggs treatment averages at just over €4,500 and egg donation cycle starts at €6,500.  International patients in the USA pay around €25,000 for the egg donation treatment and around €18,000 per IVF with own eggs. While there may be additional costs, the average price per cycle tends to be lower. Some clinics offer a guaranteed number of oocytes and/or blastocyst stage embryos, although it needs to be remarked that it’s the quality which matters over quantity. Some clinics offer IVF refund programs which mean “money-back guarantee” in case of a failure.
