- Abroad, before travel
- about $1,650 to $10,370 in 4 countries

Add your flight and hotel
Add a return flight and 14 nights to see whether the trip still costs less than paying in the US.
When not to travel
- Anyone the destination’s law excludes. Thailand, for example, limits IVF to legally married couples, according to a Bangkok clinic.
- People who have not had fertility tests at home: a clinic abroad will usually ask for them first.
