IVF Cost at INVIMED European Centre of Motherhood, Poland – great information
I have received some great information on the European Centre for Motherhood on the IVF cost, IVF success rates and IVF procedure in their centres in Poland.
The European Center of Motherhood has 3 subsidiaries in Poland, in: Warsaw, Wroclaw and Poznan. Their web site can be found at www.invimed.pl (english version: www.invimed.co.uk) and their contact e-mail is invimed@invimed.pl. They offer a complete range of infertility diagnostics and treatment (i.a. ivf, insemination), as well as full range of prenatal tests. The Clinic is equipped with the newest medical and laboratory instruments, meeting every European Union and American standard. The approximate costs of ivf: typical IVF- 5500 zł (about US$ 1720) + medicines 4000zł (US$ 1250) + anaesthetic 350 zł (US$ 109) + often freezing of embryos 540zł (US$ 168). Success rate is about 45,1% (result from 2008).
Here are the answers to the questions that I asked:
- What is the current success rate for your clinic? (preferably by age as I know that the success rate will be much lower for somebody of my age)
The newest success rate for InviMed – European Center of Motherhood is for the year 2008 – 45,1% generally.

- How many cycles do you perform per year at the clinic?
We performed 1305 IVF cycles all together in three our clinics (Warsaw – 875, Wroclaw – 280, Poznan – 150) in 2008.
- What is the maximum age that you treat?
We treat using ivf to the age 43. Egg Donation we use to the age 48/49.
- Are there any fertility conditions that you will not treat?
Yes, these which require surrogate mother.
- What is your embryo transfer policy? How many embryos will you replace at one time?
We transfer 1 embryo below the age of 35 and max. 2 embryos above the age of 35. Most often we transfer 1 embryo.
- What is the basic cost of the IVF treatment?
Basic cost of ivf – 5500 zloty (about 1700 USD), cost of medicines – about 4000 zloty (about 1300 USD), freezing and preservation of embryos – 540 zloty (180 USD), a visit – 140 zloty (40 USD).
- What additional costs would / could be incurred?
ivf ICSI – 1000 zloty (350 USD) – used when necessary.
- What happens to the costs if the cycle has to be abandoned?
Patients pay for stimulation in advance. If OPU or ET is abandoned, they won’t pay for it.
9. How long would I need to be in Poland for?
If a woman is stimulated, she will need about 3 days to stay here. If not she will have to be stimulated in our clinic to produce oocytes and it depends on the doctor’s decision and individual features of patients (woman), but it lasts about 10 days.
- Who deals with the logistics of flights and accommodation?
If a patient expects some help, our clinic can make a reservation in a hotel or pick up from the airport .
- How is the pre-treatment carried out?
At first, patients can read our website where is information concerning preparing to different treatment or tests (www.invimed.co.uk). Generally, doctors from our clinic need information about whole process of treatment of their patients, so they need all results of tests and medical examinations, or it can be done also here.
- How do I get medication?
Doctors prescribe medications when needed. Medicines for ivf are available in our clinic. Eventually the rest can be bought in chemist’s nearby.
- How will I be monitored?
Monitoring include regular USG and the level of estradiol.
- How will I know that I am not being under / over stimulated?
Patients (woman) are under frequent control, they have to be examined regularly to avoid under- or over stimulation.
- If I have a problem whilst in the UK who would I go to?
You should go to your gynaecologist. You will get all medical documentation after treatment in our clinic, so it will be very helpful.
- Is the clinic registered with any regulatory body?
With ESHRE (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology).
If you need any other information, do not hesitate to ask me.
