Egg donation IVF is the reason most patients look abroad. Published London price lists put donor egg cycles at around £12,300-£13,800 (CRGH and London Women's Clinic, checked September 2026) and they often carry 12-24 month waits. Across the EU, cycles start from €4,500 with donors matched in 1-8 weeks - so the indicative cost difference is often several thousand euros per cycle, though actual costs vary by clinic and protocol.
Donation is anonymous in the Czech Republic, Greece and Latvia under EU rules, and in North Cyprus (TRNC) under TRNC rules. Donors are 18-34, medically and psychologically screened, and typically ethnicity-matched to the recipient.
