Has anyone transferred eggs/embryos from UK abroad?

[Annalea]

Hi guysI am writing this for a bit of assurance. Has anyone changed the clinic recently? How long it took to move the embryos?

I am looking for information on how to start the process. My new clinic is checking on what needs to be done. The waiting is just so difficult. So I thought who would understand better than you all😁

Thanks in advance for any response, much appreciated.

I haven't transported abroad but I did recently transport donor sperm from one uk clinic to another. Basically you need to contact both the sending and receiving clinic who will both give you some forms to fill in and then they do the necessary checks to approve the transfer. You also have to find your own courier but your clinic should give you a list of ones they recommend. Process can take about 4-6 weeks to complete.

Thank you for your reply. I just had email saying it will be long process as we are not longer part of EU 😔

Never thought of that, that's a pain. Hope it goes quicker than they say 🤞

I looked into transporting sperm from the UK to Czech Republic a few years ago. It was going to cost around £1000 so we just made the trip instead. Different countries have different regulations and some have specific carriers you have to use. Good luck!

Thank you Chloe. I checked transport companies and it's around £1200-1500 now. The clinic is looking for solutions as we no longer in EU which makes it more complex than before.
