How Can Fertility Clinics Abroad Help You Choose an IVF Clinic Abroad?

Updated

Fertility Clinics Abroad is a directory and information site for people considering IVF or other fertility treatments outside their home country. It helps you narrow down clinics by treatment type and country, and it also offers a free advisor service that matches clinics to your medical needs, budget, and treatment goals. It is most useful if you already know you want treatment abroad but don't yet know which clinic or country fits you. It is not a clinic itself and does not provide medical care.

What the site actually does

The site combines two functions:

  • A searchable clinic directory. You filter by treatment and country, and it returns "hand-picked" clinics described as selected based on patient reviews and the clinics' expertise.
  • A free advisor service. If you are "lost in clinic options," you can talk to an advisor who takes your needs, treatment type, destination preferences, and budget into account and suggests top clinics.

It also publishes supporting material: country-by-country guides (Spain, Greece, Czech Republic, North Cyprus, Portugal, Latvia, Cyprus, Barbados, Georgia, Poland, Denmark, Cayman Islands, Ukraine, and others), an IVF cost calculator, a list of top IVF packages, and travel guides.

Filtering dimensions you can use

The directory lets you narrow results along two axes.

By treatment

Available treatment filters include:

Category Options shown
Core IVF IVF, IUI – insemination
Donation Egg donation, Sperm donation, Embryo donation
Fertility preservation Egg freezing, Sperm freezing
Advanced/genetic Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
Other ROPA, PRP treatment, IVF refund guarantee, Surrogacy

This matters because clinics differ sharply in what they specialise in. A clinic with deep egg donation experience is not automatically the right choice if you need PGD or a refund-guarantee programme.

By country

The site covers a long list of destinations, including Spain, Greece, Czech Republic, North Cyprus, Cyprus, Portugal, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Ukraine, Denmark, Georgia, and more. Each has its own page, so you can compare destinations before comparing individual clinics.

How to use it to make a decision

  1. Start with your treatment type. Select the treatment you actually need (for example, egg donation or PGD) rather than "IVF" in general. This removes clinics that don't offer it.
  2. Shortlist two or three countries. Use the country pages to compare the general landscape, then pick destinations that fit your travel and budget constraints.
  3. Search clinics within those countries. The directory returns clinics it describes as hand-picked based on patient reviews and expertise.
  4. Use the advisor if you're stuck. The free advisor service is designed to match clinics to your medical needs, budget, and treatment goals — useful when the shortlist is still too long.
  5. Cross-check before committing. The site itself points you toward success rates, costs, and travel guides. Compare those three across your shortlist rather than relying on any single ranking.

What to verify yourself

The site is a starting point, not a verdict. Before choosing a clinic, check:

  • Success rates — the site has a dedicated section on egg donation success rates, but confirm how each clinic defines and reports its figures.
  • Costs — use the IVF cost calculator and package listings, then confirm what is and isn't included (medication, monitoring, transfers).
  • Accreditation — the site references ISO accreditation in IVF clinics abroad; verify a clinic's current certification directly.
  • Travel logistics — the travel guides cover practicalities, but treatment timelines (especially for donation or multi-cycle plans) determine how long you actually need to stay.

In short: use Fertility Clinics Abroad to filter by treatment and country, get a shortlist, and optionally get a free advisor match — then verify success rates, costs, and accreditation with the clinics themselves before deciding.
