What is micro-tese?
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.
What does micro-tese cost abroad?
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.
Safety, and how to choose a clinic
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.
What to expect from the trip
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.
How GetClinic works
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.
Frequently asked
What are my real chances of success?
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.
Can I do part of the cycle at home?
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.
How do donor programmes differ by country?
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.
Is ICSI included?
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.
