How Does Fertility Treatment Abroad Actually Work?

Introduction

IVF or egg freezing abroad can save you thousands — but what does the actual process look like?

At Origin Fertility, we’re not just here to give you recommendations. We’re your full-service concierge partner, coordinating every step from your first consultation to your final transfer and beyond — from matching you to the best clinic, providing financing options, accepting HSA/FSA payments, offering a "refund success" program, and much more.

Whether you’re looking for a more affordable option or want the highest quality care (without the U.S. system headaches), here’s exactly how it works — and how we handle it all for you.

Step 1: Free Virtual Consultation

Your journey begins with a no-commitment video call via our secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. During the call, we’ll:

1. Learn about your fertility goals, medical history, and timeline

2. Match you with the right clinic — and the right doctor within that clinic — based on your unique needs

3. Walk you through destination options, pricing, and financing

4. Answer any questions about medication, travel, or treatment timelines

5. Share real success rates and clinic comparisons

6. Outline next steps — tailored specifically to you

Think of us as your fertility travel concerige — within and outside the US. We don’t just offer suggestions — we design and coordinate your entire care journey from start to finish.

Step 2: Local Testing & Monitoring in the U.S.

We coordinate all the necessary diagnostics close to home — through your OB/GYN or one of our 7500+ partner providers. This includes:

• Hormonal bloodwork

• Transvaginal ultrasound

• Semen analysis (if applicable)

And once you’re back home post-treatment, we help transfer all records back to your OB/GYN securely through our encrypted system — so your local care stays informed and connected.

Step 3: Medication Protocol & U.S.-Based Start

Once your doctor abroad finalizes your treatment plan, we’ll help you get started on your stimulation medications — typically about 10 days before you travel.

Here’s what we handle:

• Sourcing prescriptions

• Coordination with your U.S.-based OB/GYN or monitoring clinic

• Guidance on medication storage, injection timing, and side effects

You’ll do your initial monitoring and early stimulation at home, and then travel abroad right before your retrieval or embryo transfer. This keeps your trip short, efficient, and medically aligned.

Step 4: Travel and On-the-Ground Support

Most patients travel abroad between Day 7–10 of their stimulation cycle, depending on their response. Your entire trip typically lasts 9 to 14 days.

Origin handles all logistics, including:

• Flights (booked and timed around your cycle)

• Accommodations at pre-negotiated partner hotels

• Airport transfers and ground transportation

• 24/7 support via phone, WhatsApp, or email

You’ll have several clinic visits during your stay — including your egg retrieval, embryo transfer, or freezing — but you’ll also have downtime to relax and explore if you’d like.

Step 5: Treatment Abroad — Retrieval, Transfer, or Freezing

Once you're abroad, your clinic team (handpicked by us) handles:

• Egg retrieval under light anesthesia

• Embryo transfer — typically a quick, painless procedure

• Optional embryo or egg freezing for future use

These clinics are internationally accredited and use advanced lab technology — often exceeding U.S. fertilization success rates by up to 25%.

Step 6: Return Home with Full Support (and Peace of Mind)

After your treatment, you fly home — and we stay by your side.

We help coordinate:

• Pregnancy testing (beta-hCG)

• Prescription refills

• Secure document transfers to your U.S. doctor

• Any questions or follow-up concerns

And if you choose to pursue a frozen embryo transfer later, we’ll handle that too — from re-engagement to logistics and monitoring.
