Spain has a longstanding history of being Europe’s most popular country for assisted reproduction and “destination IVF” due to its less-restricting laws. Many European citizens have been traveling to Spain for reproductive services, including egg freezing, because the overall cost is lower when compared to other European countries. Assisted reproduction in Spain is regulated by the Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) Law. There are currently no restrictions by law on age for egg freezing or length of storage.
Total Cost: €3,340 – €4,840 EUR ($3,800 - $5,500 USD)
Single Cycle: €1,945 – €2,920 EUR ($2,210 - $3,320 USD)
Medication: €880 – €1,405 EUR ($1,000 - $1,600 USD)
Annual Storage: €175 – €485 EUR ($200 - $550 USD)
Prevalence:
The actual number of egg freezing cycles in Spain is unknown. Considering the country is a hotspot for egg donation and assisted reproduction within Europe, it is becoming more popular for European women interested in elective egg freezing to travel to Spain for their treatment. The Spanish Fertility Society is responsible for publishing statistical data on assisted reproduction prevalence.
