Embryo donation is a fertility service that allows a woman to carry a child using embryos donated by another couple. During a typical IVF procedure, a fertility clinic uses eggs and sperm to create several viable embryos for a couple with fertility problems. Not all of these embryos will be used to create a child, and so the couple may donate the unused embryos to another couple. Embryo donation is subject to laws that may vary by country, and even by state within the US. Couples should consult with an attorney to determine if embryo donation is considered a form of adoption in their area. In the US and UK, embryo donation costs about $10,000 or £6,000, making it more affordable than egg donation plus IVF. However, couples can save money with fertility clinics abroad.

In Latin America, embryo donation services cost less than $5,000 or £3,000. Mexico and Costa Rica are leaders in fertility research and treatments, and many fertility doctor have studied medicine in the US and Europe. Fertility clinics have rigorous screening processes to make sure that embryos are donated by healthy couples. The IVF treatments are carried out in clean and modern facilities, and transplantation has a high rate of successful pregnancies.

Spain is another popular destination for affordable IVF treatments with donated embryos. Doctors are trained in the latest techniques, and fertility clinics in Spain are leaders in treatment options for infertile couples.
