Affordable IVF treatment options in Bulgaria

We understand that no two patients are alike, and neither are fertility centers. Dr. Shefketova offers exceptional medical care from onIVF in Bulgaria for International Patients World-class fertility care in Sofia at a lower cost than the UK, US, and many Western European clinics. If you are researching IVF abroad, three things matter most: cost, medical quality, and trust. Bulgaria is becoming an attractive option for international fertility patients who want experienced specialists, modern laboratory standards, clear communication, and more affordable treatment in Europe. At Dr. Shefketova's clinic in Sofia, you receive direct access to a fertility specialist, personalised care, and support in English and Turkish throughout your treatment journey. Dr. Shefketova and her Turkish-speaking colleague make this one of the few fertility clinics in Europe where Turkish patients receive fully native-language support at every stage of treatment — from the first consultation to the final appointment. How Much Does IVF Cost Abroad? IVF costs vary widely depending on the clinic, medication, laboratory procedures, ICSI, embryo freezing, genetic testing, and whether donor eggs are used. In the US, a full IVF cycle can often reach $15,000 to $30,000 or more once medication and common add-ons are included. Multiple cycles can push the total cost above $50,000. In the UK, private IVF pricing varies heavily. Published package prices can range from around £2,750 to over £13,000, but many patients need to budget more once medication, tests, freezing, and add-ons are included. NHS funding exists, but access depends on where the patient lives. In early 2026, nearly 70% of NHS areas in England offered only one IVF cycle, despite NICE guidance recommending three full cycles. In Spain, one of Europe's best-known IVF destinations, own-egg IVF is commonly listed between €4,100 and €8,200 before extras. In the Czech Republic, own-egg IVF is commonly listed around €2,700 to €5,700, while egg donation IVF often ranges from €4,500 to €8,000. In Sofia, IVF treatment can be significantly more affordable than in the US, UK, and many Western European clinics. For many international patients, the savings can help cover flights, accommodation, diagnostics, and even additional treatment attempts.
