A "cheap" cycle isn't the same as a cheap baby. Model your exact case — age, own/donor — in the cost-per-baby calculator to see where Poland ranks for you.
Cost data: clinic averages 2026. Legal status: verify current rules for your nationality.
Poland's €4,000 own-egg baseline competes with Czechia, but Polish law restricts single women and same-sex access. Couples with good ovarian reserve find good value; others travel to Spain or Greece.
Poland offers competitive own-egg pricing at €4,000/cycle, but restricts access: single women not permitted, same-sex couples not permitted. Best suited for heterosexual couples using their own eggs.
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 €4000/cycle, this is mid-range European pricing, so the balance of success and cycles is key to your total cost.
