IVF abroad - popularity, costs and success rates

The average cost of egg donation in Europe

The cost of treatment across Europe (in popular IVF destinations) is more favorable when compared to the UK, Germany, Scandinavia, Australia, USA and other countries. In Poland, egg donation prices start at circa €4,500 per donor egg cycle. The most expensive country included on the list is Spain where treatment averages at just over €6,500. International patients in the USA pay around €18,000 for the same treatment. 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.

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.
