Are you seeking IVF in Argentina?
Whether you are a single woman or part of a heterosexual or lesbian couple seeking IVF, Argentina will welcome you with open arms. The country is rapidly gaining a reputation as a go-to location for egg and embryo donation for patients from Latin America, North America and as far afield as Europe. Patients can find many well-established IVF clinics in popular cities such as Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Cordoba.
Argentina boasts a world-class collection of fertility clinics, equipped with the latest cutting-edge technology and run by highly qualified and highly skilled clinical staff.
Egg Donation Argentina
Egg donors are plentiful, and as a result, waiting times for treatment are often quite short. The government-regulated gamete banks have donor eggs from women from a range of different races and ethnic backgrounds, including Latino, African, Caucasian, Indian, and Thai/Asian. Egg donors are aged between 18 and 33 to ensure the best possible chances of pregnancy. Although there is no legal limit on the age of the patient receiving the eggs, most clinics will only support women up to, and including, the age of 50.
Egg donation is anonymous in Argentina, meaning the clinic will pick the best match for the patient. Phenotypic matching is used to ensure the best physical match possible. Patients are allowed access to some non-identifying information about their donor, including details about physical characteristics, such as height, hair and eye colour, and their favourite hobbies and sports.
Egg donation is unpaid, although donors are entitled to reimbursement for travel and other reasonable expenses.
Embryo Donation Argentina
Just like egg donation, embryo donation in Argentina is anonymous and altruistic, meaning donors are not paid apart from reasonable expenses. By law, donor embryos must come from embryo banks registered with the Federal Registry of Health Establishments (ReFES) of the National Directorate of Health Regulation and Quality in Health Services.
Embryo donation does not always allow for the option of having a genetic sibling as there are usually fewer embryos available. It is also possible that the embryos may not survive the thawing process, therefore reducing the number available for transfer.
There are currently no laws in Argentina on the length of time that frozen embryos and eggs can be stored.
Egg Donation Costs Argentina
Egg donation IVF in Argentina typically costs somewhere between €5,700 and €9,530, which compares favourably with many European fertility clinics and is much more affordable than egg donation IVF in the US, which typically costs in the region of €25,000.
Before you embark on your egg donation journey, check with the fertility clinic exactly what is included in the price of your treatment. For example, certain tests need to be carried out before treatment can start and the majority of these will be at an additional cost. Medication for the patient and donor can also be an extra cost.
Some clinics are not necessarily open and upfront about their pricing, so it is important to clarify what you will get for your money in order to avoid any unexpected costs later on. We strongly recommend asking several clinics for a breakdown of costs so you can compare and ensure that you are getting the very best deal on IVF egg donation in Argentina.
Some fertility clinics in Argentina offer shared egg donor programmes, where the donor’s fresh eggs are shared among multiple recipients, bringing the cost down and making IVF egg donation more affordable. However, this is not available at all fertility clinics in Argentina.
The Argentinian government offers subsidised IVF for its citizens.

IVF treatment in Argentina is an affordable choice, with prices comparing favourably to the US and some European countries such as Spain, Greece and the UK. IVF using the patient’s own eggs costs in the region of €3,330 to €5,000, while IVF with donor eggs in Argentina costs between €5,700 to €9,530, depending on the clinic and the treatment packages available. The price will be higher if a patient opts for PGS/PGT-A. This extra cost will depend on the number of embryos biopsied.
A frozen embryo transfer (FET) is generally cheaper than a fresh transfer. If you have a FET in Argentina, you can expect to pay in the region of €1,900 ($2,000). However, it’s important to remember that IVF prices vary according to the needs and requirements of the individual patient.
Egg freezing for social reasons is permitted in Argentina and costs around €2,380 ($2,500) to €2,555 ($2,700). Always check with the clinic exactly what is included in the price of your treatment before proceeding.
IUI in Argentina
Intrauterine Insemination, often referred to as IUI, is a fertility treatment that involves selecting the best quality sperm and inserting them directly into a woman’s uterus, leaving the sperm to fertilise the egg naturally. An IUI can be done with donor sperm, as is the case with single women or female same-sex couples, or it can be done with the patient’s partner’s sperm. IUI may be used with heterosexual couples because there is a problem with the female partner’s cervix, there are obvious impairments in the male partner’s sperm or if doctors have yet to find the cause of the infertility. The procedure is less invasive than IVF and requires less medication. IUI in Argentina is considerably less expensive than IVF, and on average costs between €475 ($500) and €1,425 ($1,500). If donor sperm is used in the procedure, the cost will be at the higher end of this scale.
Although IUI may seem like a cheaper, less invasive alternative to IVF, it’s important to remember that this treatment is not suitable for everyone. IUI is not suitable for patients who have low ovarian reserve, low-quality eggs, blocked fallopian tubes, severe endometriosis or other diagnosed fertility problems.
As a rule of thumb, success rates for IUI are around a third of the success rates for IVF.
IVF Success Rates in Argentina
Unlike European countries, it is not easy to find a comprehensive breakdown of IVF success rates in Argentina.
However, through our extensive research, it is clear that Argentina has a high IVF success rate. Around 60-65% of egg donor recipients have a positive pregnancy test after one embryo transfer, while IVF using the patient’s own eggs has a success rate of around 45%-50% for women under 38. Of course it is important to remember that these rates vary between clinics and depend on each patient’s personal circumstances.
Egg Donation Success Rates in Argentina
The success rate for IVF egg donation in Argentina is higher than the success rate for patients using their own eggs with 60-65% of patients falling pregnant after one embryo transfer, with the figure rising to 90-93% after three transfers.
The high success rate of IVF egg donation in Argentina is due to several different factors.
The Argentinian government recognises infertility as a medical issue that needs to be addressed and also recognises that everyone has a right to have a child. As a result, since 2013 the government has subsidised IVF and egg freezing for citizens. This is regardless of the marital status and sexual orientation of the patient. With this forward-thinking approach to IVF, and liberal fertility laws, the country has become a go-to destination for IVF. Fertility clinics are equipped with top-of-the-range technology and world-class experts.

Safety and Quality in IVF Clinics Argentina
IVF treatments in Argentina are tightly regulated by the Ministerio de Salud de la Nación Argentina (the Ministry of Health). To ensure patient safety and the quality of donated gametes, all donated eggs and embryos must be sourced exclusively from gamete or embryo banks registered with the Federal Registry of Health Establishments (ReFES) of the National Directorate of Health Regulation and Quality in Health Services.
Some facets of IVF in Argentina have no regulations and are instead based on clinical practice guidelines, including how many embryos can be transferred at a time and the number of children that can be born from the same egg donor. We advise discussing these matters with a clinic before agreeing to proceed with treatment.
