Arranged as one package
Fertility and IVF package
One IVF cycle, arranged around the part that surprises couples most: the trip is long, the hospital stay is short, and the timing is decided by the body rather than by the calendar.

Who this is for
Couples starting IVF, and couples who have had cycles elsewhere and want the plan looked at again before another one.
The thing couples are least prepared for
The trip is long and the hospital part is short. Stimulation and monitoring run for around two weeks of scans and blood tests; the retrieval is a day case; the transfer is an outpatient appointment. Most of the time abroad is spent waiting, not in hospital — which is why the accommodation and the company you keep matter more here than in any other package we arrange.
What happens, in order
Your previous cycles and test results go to a fertility specialist, who states what they would do differently and why. A protocol repeated unchanged after a failed cycle is worth a question.
Monitoring begins on arrival and the dates move: retrieval is scheduled by how the follicles respond, not by the flight you booked. Build slack into your return ticket.
After the transfer there is a wait before the test. The clinic will tell you what to do and what not to do; almost none of it is dramatic.
Embryo storage, in writing
What happens to anything frozen — how long it is kept, what it costs to keep, and what happens if it is not renewed — is stated in your estimate before you start. Couples find out at the wrong moment far too often.
What this package includes
- A review of previous cycles and results, with a stated reason for any change of protocol.
- Stimulation monitoring, the egg retrieval as a day case, and the embryo transfer.
- The embryo storage terms in writing before the cycle begins.
- A written estimate before anyone travels, stating what the figure covers and what it does not.
- One named case manager, from the first message until after you are home.
- The hospital invitation letter a medical visa application needs, and help completing the paperwork.
- Airport pickup on arrival and a transfer to your hotel or hospital.
- An interpreter for consultations, consent discussions and your discharge instructions.
- A teleconsultation with your treating doctor after you return, and your discharge summary sent to your own doctor.
What it does not include
- Fertility medication, which is prescribed to your protocol and quoted separately.
- Donor gametes or surrogacy, which are governed by the law of the treating country.
- A second cycle, which is quoted afresh.
- International flights, which you book yourself or we book on your instruction.
- The visa fee itself, which is paid to the authorities of the country you are travelling to.
- Treatment for a condition found after admission that was not part of the plan.
- A longer hospital stay than the plan allows, if your recovery needs one.
Why there is no price on this page
What a package costs depends on your reports — the procedure a surgeon actually recommends, how long you are in hospital, and what your case needs. We would rather send you one figure we can stand behind than publish a headline number that changes once someone reads your file.
What a package covers is agreed in writing before you travel. Anything clinical is decided by the treating consultant after reviewing your reports, not by the package.
