With long waiting lists for NHS-funded infertility investigations and treatment, and prohibitively high prices for private treatment at home, increasing numbers of people are choosing to travel to infertility clinics abroad.
Laws governing fertility treatment vary from country to country and prospective patients should always thoroughly research their options, however it is possible to access every type of treatment for infertility at modern, well-equipped clinics worldwide. Treatments on offer include in vitro fertilisation (IVF), intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), IVF with egg donation, intrauterine insemination (IUI) with sperm donation, preimplantation genetic testing and surrogacy.
Prices for infertility treatment abroad are generally considerably lower than they would be in the UK, and many people take the opportunity to combine their treatment with a relaxing holiday.
