NHS-funded IVF depends heavily on where you live, and waiting lists are long. Private treatment commonly starts around £5,000 per cycle — before medication and the add-ons that UK clinics price separately. This page compares that, item by item, with a complete treatment journey in Istanbul, four hours from London.
| UK (indicative) | Turkey (Human First) | |
|---|---|---|
| Medical IVF/ICSI treatment | commonly £5,000+ (add-ons priced separately) | € 2,800 (incl. assisted hatching) |
| Medication | typically £1,000 – £2,000 | € 900 – € 1,500 |
| Journey guidance | — | € 430 |
| Genetic screening (PGT-A), if advised | often £2,000+ | € 350 per embryo |
UK patients know the pattern: a headline price, followed by separately billed extras. At Human First, assisted hatching is included as standard, AOA is free when medically meaningful, and every optional technique has one published price. What you see on our pricing page is what you pay.
Medical treatment, journey coordination and medication together come to roughly € 4,100 – € 4,750. Travel and accommodation are not included in that figure: you arrange those yourself, or we quote our extra care package: hotel, airport transfers and a ride to every appointment. Direct flights connect Istanbul with London, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh in around four hours, and UK citizens need no visa for short stays.
All prices are in euros; you receive a secure Stripe payment link supporting UK payment methods, and your bank applies the exchange rate on the payment date.
Turkish law allows treatment only for married couples using their own eggs and sperm — donor treatment is not available. If you need donor eggs or sperm, Turkey is not the right destination for you. UK figures above are indicative ranges as published by UK clinics and the HFEA; your own quotes may differ. Read how the journey works from the UK for the full picture.
