Drakopoulos Reproductive Medicine offers treatment options with no waiting time for own egg treatments and frozen donor egg treatments, while fresh donor egg cycles typically have a waiting period of about two months.
The screening process for fresh egg donors at Drakopoulos Reproductive Medicine is thorough and follows strict medical and genetic criteria. Donors, all under 30 years old, undergo extensive testing including karyotyping, screening for fragile X syndrome, SMA, cystic fibrosis, and other genetic conditions, along with psychological and cardiological assessments.
Patients receive detailed non-identifying information about donors such as hair, eye and skin color, height, weight, and ethnicity. Additionally, patients provide a photograph and a brief description of their own physical and personality traits to aid in matching.
Furthermore, patients can access frozen eggs, typically through egg banks such as Aphrodite or Ovobank. The success rates for fresh and frozen eggs are similar. An additional advantage is that patients can personally choose their donor and, in some cases, view donor photos. The database offers multiple search criteria to help identify the most suitable match, including an advanced facial-recognition AI tool that highlights donors with features similar to those of the patient.

IVF Costs at Drakopoulos Reproductive Medicine
Drakopoulos Reproductive Medicine offers transparent and comprehensive pricing for a range of fertility treatments at their Athens-based clinics. The clinic provides clear cost breakdowns for each treatment option, ensuring patients understand exactly what is included in their investment.
IVF with own eggs
IVF with own eggs starts at €3,800 for a standard response, €2,900 for low ovarian response (fewer than four oocytes), or €2,400 for a natural cycle. The pricing includes monitoring, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo development, blastocyst culture, EmbryoScope technology, embryo freezing, consultations, and embryo transfer. In the case of a future frozen embryo transfer (FET), the cost is €1,500.
Egg Freezing
The cost of a typical egg freezing procedure – when more than 4 oocytes are collected and frozen, including one year of storage – is €2,600. This covers all treatment aspects: monitoring, egg retrieval, one year of egg storage, and an AI report scoring the frozen oocytes.
For cases with fewer than 4 oocytes retrieved (due to low response or natural cycle), the cost drops to €1,700. Multiple egg retrievals may qualify for additional discounts.
Egg Donation Programs
The clinic offers two primary egg donation pathways. Fresh egg donation is priced at €6,200 total, while frozen egg donation through an egg bank costs €6,750 total. Both programs guarantee a minimum of two blastocysts, provided the semen analysis is acceptable.
Embryo Donation and Transfer
Embryo donation follows the same pricing structure as egg donation, with fresh embryos at €6,200 total and frozen embryos through an egg bank at €6,750 total, plus donor sperm costs ranging from €500 to €1,000 depending on the choice.
PRP
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment is offered at €2,000 for ovarian treatment and €600 for endometrial treatment.
Intrauterine insemination
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is priced at €500, while artificial insemination with donor sperm (AID) costs €500 plus donor sperm expenses estimated between €500 and €1,000.
Add-ons
Several specialized services are available at additional costs. PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies) includes embryo biopsy for preimplantation diagnosis at €780, with each additional biopsy from the same stimulation cycle costing €370 if performed within three months. The genetic testing itself costs €255 per embryo.
Surrogacy
Surrogacy programs start from €25,000. Due to Greece’s complex legal requirements, Drakopoulos Reproductive Medicine evaluates each case individually to ensure full compliance, focusing solely on the medical aspects of the process including screening, embryo transfer, and patient monitoring.
