Donor-egg IVF is one of the categories where the gap between US and Colombian pricing is largest — and where wait times matter as much as cost for many patients.
What's included in a typical package
- Donor screening and matching from an established donor program
- Donor's own stimulation cycle and retrieval costs
- Fertilization, embryo culture, and transfer for the recipient
- Standard monitoring appointments throughout
What's frequently not included and worth confirming upfront: PGT testing (see our PGT-A guide), additional frozen embryo transfers if the first doesn't result in pregnancy, and medication costs for the recipient's own cycle prep.
The US's 6-to-12 month typical wait for a matched donor is often a bigger factor in the decision to travel than cost alone. Colombia's more established donor programs frequently match within weeks, not months.
Why the timeline is shorter
This largely comes down to donor program maturity — established fertility hubs with high patient volume maintain larger active donor pools, which shortens matching time considerably compared to smaller programs.
What to verify before booking
- Whether the program is MTA-verified — see our clinic vetting guide
- What screening standards donors go through, and whether that's documented and available for review
- Whether the quoted price is truly all-inclusive or has likely add-ons
