Assisted reproduction including IVF, ICSI, egg donation and freezing. Every quote covers the procedure, hotel, transfers and 12 months of aftercare — written down before you fly.
A plain-English guide to in vitro fertilization (ivf) abroad — real price ranges, how to judge a clinic, and how the trip actually works.
Fertility treatment abroad spans IVF and ICSI cycles, egg and sperm donation programmes, fertility preservation and reproductive genetic testing (PGT). Success is driven by your biology — age, ovarian reserve, cause of infertility — and by the embryology lab's quality, which is why honest clinics quote success rates for your bracket rather than a headline average.
An IVF cycle abroad typically costs €2,500–€4,500 including medication protocols that cost £5,000–£8,000 privately in the UK — and donor programmes carry shorter waiting lists in several jurisdictions. Regulation differs meaningfully between countries (donor anonymity, embryo policies), so the destination is part of the medical decision.
Compare labs, not lobbies: ask for live-birth rates per embryo transfer for your age group, the lab's accreditation, and how many cycles the clinic runs annually. A clinic that quotes one big success number for all ages is marketing; GetClinic profiles show age-bracketed outcomes.
Stimulation runs 10–14 days with scans (start monitoring at home is often possible), retrieval is a sedated day procedure, and transfer follows fresh in 3–5 days or in a later frozen cycle. Plan 5–10 days in-country depending on the protocol; the pregnancy test follows about two weeks after transfer.
Share your case once — photos and a short history. Up to three verified clinics review it and return fixed, all-inclusive written quotes, usually within 24 hours. You meet the treating doctor on a free video consultation before committing to anything, pay nothing to be matched, and every package includes 12 months of structured aftercare after you're home.
It depends primarily on age and ovarian reserve (AMH, antral follicle count). Clinics on GetClinic quote live-birth rates for your age bracket after reviewing your results — that's the number that means something.
Often yes — initial scans and stimulation monitoring can run with your local clinic, flying out for retrieval and transfer. Your protocol is coordinated between both sides in writing.
Anonymity rules, donor screening standards and waiting lists vary sharply by jurisdiction — affecting both timelines and what your child can learn later. Your coordinator explains the legal position of each destination before you choose.
Many clinics abroad include ICSI at no extra cost where it's indicated. Your written quote itemises it either way — no lab-fee surprises mid-cycle.
