Overview: Fertility Treatment as a Medical Tourist
IVF abroad costs 40–75% less than in the US and UK, with comparable or better success rates at specialist fertility centres in Spain, Czech Republic, Turkey, and Greece. Many countries have more permissive legislation on egg donation, embryo freezing, and surrogacy.
What is Fertility Treatment?
Fertility treatment abroad includes IVF (in vitro fertilisation), IUI (intrauterine insemination), egg donation, sperm donation, embryo donation, and in some countries, gestational surrogacy. Specialist fertility clinics use the same medications, genetic testing (PGT-A), and laboratory technology as top clinics in the US and UK, often at dramatically lower cost.

Types of Fertility Treatment: Which Is Right for You?
IVF with Egg Donation
Donor eggs used when own eggs are not viable. Spain and Czech Republic lead for egg donation due to legislation and large donor databases.
Typical cost abroad: $4,000–$9,000 abroad vs $25,000–$50,000 in US
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
Sperm inserted directly into uterus around ovulation. Less invasive, lower success rate than IVF.
Typical cost abroad: $500–$1,500 abroad vs $2,000–$5,000 in US
PGT-A (Genetic Testing of Embryos)
Pre-implantation genetic testing screens embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before transfer. Increases success rates.
Typical cost abroad: $1,500–$3,000 additional (biopsy + analysis)
Embryo Freezing (Cryopreservation)
Surplus embryos frozen for future transfer cycles. Annual storage fees apply.
Typical cost abroad: $500–$1,500 per cycle + annual storage

Frequently Asked Questions: Fertility Treatment Abroad
How much does IVF cost in Spain?
IVF with own eggs costs €4,000–€7,000 in Spain. IVF with egg donation — where Spain is the European leader — costs €6,000–€9,000. This is significantly less than the US cost of $12,000–$25,000 for standard IVF.
Which country has the best IVF success rates abroad?
Spain, Czech Republic, and Greece have some of Europe's highest IVF success rates. Success depends heavily on patient age and specific diagnosis. Look for clinics publishing age-stratified live birth rates (not just pregnancy rates) per transfer, aligned with ESHRE data standards.
Is egg donation legal abroad?
Egg donation is legal in Spain, Czech Republic, Greece, Cyprus, and many other countries. Spain has anonymous donation with the largest donor database in Europe. Some countries (UK) require identity-release donors. Check the specific laws of your destination country, particularly regarding anonymity rules.
