Against waiting or paying in the UK

We have not found an official waiting-time figure for an IVF cycle in the UK.

Paying privately in the UK: £3,800, from CREATE Fertility.

Can the NHS pay?

From England (NHS): the S2 route can fund planned treatment in an EU country, but only state healthcare with a public provider, never private treatment, and only with approval before you go. NHS England must also confirm it cannot treat you in a medically acceptable time. The private clinics on this page do not qualify. NHS: the S2 funding route.

Planning the trip from the UK

  1. Get a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for an IVF cycle and ask for an itemised price in writing, with the date and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
  2. Before you goCheck what your home health service funds first. NICE in England recommends up to three cycles under 40, but local health boards decide, and the HSE in Ireland funds one round for eligible couples.
  3. Before you goAsk the clinic for a written plan with dates, medicines and every fee, and agree how embryos are stored if you do not use them all.
  4. Entry rulesCheck the official advice before booking: UK citizens (FCDO entry requirements).
  5. LanguageCzech; Prague clinics that take patients from abroad have English pages and staff.
  6. After you returnTell your GP if you are pregnant after treatment abroad, with the clinic’s report on the transfer.
  7. After you returnSevere tummy pain, swelling or breathlessness after egg collection can be a reaction to the hormones and needs urgent care.

IVF in Czechia from the UK: questions

How much is an IVF cycle in Czechia for UK patients?

The published prices we found work out at £2,510–£2,720 at the clinic, from Gennet (Prague), PRONATAL (Prague) and Reprofit (Brno). Adding a rough travel estimate of £1,240 for a return flight and a hotel, the trip comes to about £3,750. Your own fares and dates will change that part.

Is it cheaper than paying privately in the UK?

Yes, by about £43 on these example figures: the lowest self-pay price we found at home is £3,800. The gap shrinks if your travel costs more than our estimate.

How long is the wait for an IVF cycle in the UK?

We have not found an official waiting-time figure for this in the UK.

How many days do I need in Czechia?

About 2 to 3 weeks for a fresh cycle if you start the injections at the clinic; less if the clinic lets you start them at home and come for the last scans, egg collection and transfer. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice; ask the clinic for its schedule in writing.

Will the NHS pay for it?

Only through the S2 route, for state treatment at a public provider, approved before you travel. Private clinics like those on this page do not qualify.
