Czechia's €3,000 cycles are Europe's baseline: compare it to the rest. With donor eggs at €4,600, cost per baby for 40+ patients becomes decisive. Most patients over 40 choose the donor route here or move to Greece for legal access.
Annual cycles: approximately 68,500 per year (~6,485 per million population, ESHRE 2022). Own-egg live birth by age: under 35 ~48%, 35–37 ~41%, 38–40 ~32%, 41–42 ~18%, 43–44 ~8%. Donor eggs: ~48% at any age. Czechia is Europe's leading fertility destination by volume-to-population ratio, with modern clinics and efficient matching.
At age 40 with own eggs (~18% success), a €3,000 cycle typically requires 4–5 transfers = €12,000–15,000 per baby. With donor eggs at €4,600 and ~48% success, typically 2 transfers = €9,200 per baby — often the cheaper route. Spain (€5,500 own-egg, more clinics) and Greece (€3,800 own-egg, more liberal law) are Czechia's main competitors on cost and outcome.
A cheap cycle is not the same as a cheap baby. Because success falls with age, the honest figure is the cycle price multiplied by the number of transfers you are likely to need. Using this country's own-egg price and registry live-birth rates: At €3000/cycle, this is budget-tier pricing, so even with low success at 43+, cost per baby remains competitive across Europe.
| Age band | Own-egg LBR / transfer | Typical transfers | Est. own-egg cost to one baby |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 35 | 48% | ~2 | €6,000 |
| 35-37 | 41% | ~2 | €6,000 |
| 38-40 | 32% | ~3 | €9,000 |
| 41-42 | 18% | ~3 | €9,000 |

Illustrative model: registry live-birth per transfer (SART/CDC, HFEA) × typical transfers to a cumulative live birth (PMC10591412) × this country's cycle price. Your own odds depend on your diagnosis and clinic — model them in the calculator.
From about 38-40 onwards, donor eggs usually win on cost per baby: at ~48% per transfer they typically need ~2 transfers, so ~€9,200 here — often less than chasing own-egg success at falling odds.
In Czechia, egg donation status is 'anonymous'; the upper age limit is ≤49; single women: limited; same-sex access: no; PGT-A embryo testing: yes. Eligibility depends on your nationality and personal situation, so verify the current rules for your case before you commit.
