Verified directory · updated 2026-06-20
IVF clinics, verified by the specialist — and the registry.
Fertility marketing is full of cherry-picked success rates. This directory lists 74 clinics across 13 regions, each confirmed against at least two independent sources, with the named reproductive specialist verified against SART, HFEA, ESHRE or a national registry where possible. We flag leadership changes, show reviews per platform, and point you to the audited registries — not the clinic’s own number.
56 Tier-1 (registry-verified specialist) · 61 with a named verified specialist · sourced, never fabricated.

How IVF pricing really works
Every price below is for one own-egg IVF cycle (monitoring, egg retrieval, lab work and a fresh transfer) before medication, which is billed separately. Headline prices rarely include everything: ICSI, genetic testing (PGT-A), freezing and storage, and donor eggs are common add-ons that move the real total a lot.
| Country | Own-egg cycle, before medication | Notes & source |
|---|---|---|
| United States | $12,000–$18,000 | Base cycle; about $20,000–$25,000+ once medication and add-ons are included. Source: Inception Fertility, Mar 2026 |
| United Kingdom | ≈ £4,890 (average) | Average package; about £6,939 with fertility tests and medication, £8,314 with ICSI. Source: Seen Fertility, 2025–26 data |
| Spain | €4,300–€6,000 | The fee often includes ICSI; medication adds about €1,000–€2,000. Source: Ovu, Dec 2025 |
Czechia, Greece, North Cyprus, Turkey and other destinations: the own-egg prices circulating online did not survive our cross-checks, so we print none. The country guides give donor-egg estimates instead. Country guides: IVF in Spain, IVF in the Czech Republic and IVF in Greece. Full comparison, including donor-egg cycles: IVF cost by country.
- Confirm what the cycle price includes: consultations, monitoring, egg retrieval, ICSI, the transfer.
- Usually extra: medication ($1,500–$7,000 in the US, about €1,000–€2,000 in Spain), PGT-A genetic testing, freezing and annual storage, donor eggs or sperm, and repeat transfers.
Success rates: Compare success on the RIGHT metric: age-banded LIVE-BIRTH rate per cycle started — not "pregnancy rate" or "per transfer", which flatter the clinic. Use the SART (US) / HFEA (UK) registries, which publish audited, age-adjusted data, over any number on a clinic's own site.
The credential signal (and how to check it)
In the US, a subspecialty board certification (ABOG) beyond OB-GYN — the doctor running your cycle ideally holds it. Internationally, an ESHRE Reproductive Medicine certification / fellowship is the equivalent signal. Certification attaches to the named physician, not the brand.
SART-member US clinics report their outcomes to SART and the CDC — meaning their success rates are independently published and auditable, not self-claimed. Membership itself is a transparency signal.
In the UK every clinic is licensed and inspected by the HFEA, which also publishes per-clinic success data and an add-on "traffic light" rating. A current HFEA licence is a hard requirement, not a marketing claim.
e.g. CNRHA (Spain), national registries elsewhere — confirms the clinic is a licensed ART centre in its country.
IVF is specialist work; a clinic without a named REI/ESHRE-credentialed lead or registry listing is a lower-trust signal — ask who runs the lab and the cycles.
Red flags
Headline "70% success" usually means pregnancy-per-transfer in young patients, not live-birth-per-cycle across all ages. If a clinic won't give age-banded live-birth data or isn't in SART/HFEA, treat the number as marketing.
Assisted hatching, EmbryoGlue, immune therapy, endometrial scratch — the HFEA "add-ons traffic light" rates most of these amber/red (no strong evidence they raise live-birth rates). Being sold a stack of paid add-ons is a flag.
A clinic that doesn't report to a registry (SART/HFEA/national) and won't name the board-certified physician running cycles is harder to verify — and impossible to audit on outcomes.
Donor anonymity, age caps, and single/same-sex eligibility differ by country (e.g. Spain anonymous donation vs UK non-anonymous). A clinic that glosses over the legal rules for YOUR situation is a risk — check the eligibility rules first.
No clinic can guarantee a live birth. Multi-cycle "refund" packages can be reasonable financially but the guarantee framing is a marketing tell — read what actually triggers the refund.
How we verify (methodology)
Every clinic needs at least two independent corroborating sources before it is listed. The named reproductive specialist is verified against SART, HFEA, ESHRE or a national ART registry where possible, and leadership transitions are flagged (a founder who has handed over is marked accordingly). Reviews are shown per platform — Google, Trustpilot, Doctoralia/Top Doctors — never blended. We do not publish a clinic's self-claimed success rate as fact; the SART and HFEA registries are the authority. Contact details are recorded only where published. Tier 1 = a named, registry-verified specialist + accreditation + multi-source detail; Tier 2 = solid and sourced; Tier 3 = listed, thinner verification.
Frequently asked questions
How much does IVF cost abroad?
It is priced per cycle and varies widely. For one own-egg cycle before medication, a base US cycle is about $12,000–$18,000, the average UK package about £4,890, and Spain €4,300–€6,000. Medication, genetic testing, freezing and donor eggs are usually extra, so confirm what each quote includes.
How do I compare IVF success rates honestly?
Compare the age-banded LIVE-BIRTH rate per cycle started — not "pregnancy rate" or "per transfer", which flatter the clinic. Use the SART (US) and HFEA (UK) registries, which publish audited, age-adjusted data, over any figure on a clinic’s own website.
How do I know an IVF clinic is legitimate?
Look for a named, board-certified reproductive endocrinologist (REI) or an ESHRE-credentialed specialist, and a clinic that reports to a registry — SART/CDC in the US, HFEA in the UK, or a national ART registry. Those make outcomes and licensing auditable rather than self-claimed.
What are the red flags in fertility tourism?
Cherry-picked success numbers, a stack of unproven paid add-ons (the HFEA rates most amber/red), no registry reporting, “guaranteed baby” marketing, and glossing over the donor-anonymity and eligibility laws for your situation.
