IVF cost in South Africa with donor eggs or surragacy – good price and a great idea!
I had a lovely contact from Tertia at Nurture who organise IVF treatment with donor eggs or surragacy in South Africa – a beautiful country! Below is a piece that she has written for you about the benefits of going to South Africa for treatment and the IVF costs and IVF success rates – you must check out their website, they’re a very vibrant team! I can’t resist but to put this idea on my shortlist especially since so many people seem to be telling me that at my age I should use donor eggs!
IVF Safaris
You know how ‘they’ (the well-meaning masses) are always saying “oh, just go on holiday and then you will get pregnant”? Makes you want to reach out and shake them. But maybe there is a bit of method in their madness after all! Come to South Africa on a fertility holiday, see a lion* and conceive your baby!
Medical care in South Africa is on par with the best care in the world. Our doctors and their support staff are of the highest quality and our success rates are proof. Our clinics are getting over 65% success rates per attempt for their DE IVFs. And that is not a doctored number, it’s the real deal.
But here is the real winner – not only is the care excellent, but it is damn cheap too! The cost of a DE IVF is a fraction of what you would pay for in America or Europe. So, you could come on a two week IVF Safari to South Africa and the entire trip, including your flights, accommodation, lion spotting AND the IVF costs will still come to less that it would cost you do an IVF at home. Amazing huh!
South Africa is the most amazing country. Not only do we have the best looking people here (myself included of course), but we have so much to do for the tourist. Wine farms, game drives, the best beaches, amazing scenery. And of course, it helps that you get about a billion South African Rands to one dollar. Well, maybe not a billion, but it does make it very affordable for foreign tourists.
So, come to South Africa for your IVF treatment. Bring extra space in your case and room in your womb, hopefully both will be filled when you return home again!

* Contrary to popular believe, we don’t have lions roaming freely on the streets of South Africa. You might have to go on a bit of a safari to see a lion. We do have some really nice wine though, and that is freely available just about anywhere you go.
