Travelling for IVF Treatments

Going through fertility treatment is an emotional and physically demanding journey, and if you're planning to travel as part of your IVF treatment, you might have many questions.

Why Travel to Ireland for IVF?

With the cost of IVF in the UK on the rise, and with the NHS waiting lists growing each year, more and more people are choosing to travel to places such as Spain and the Czech Republic for fertility treatment. At Thérapie Fertility we are proud to offer another option for travelling abroad, with shorter flights and no language or cultural barriers. Travelling to our main clinic in Dublin, Ireland is often much quicker and easier for UK based patients.

While there is some extra travel involved in undergoing IVF outside of your home country, with the right preparation, the process can be smooth and stress free. However, many people undergoing IVF worry about whether it's safe or even possible to travel during IVF treatment. If you’ve wondered about this, you are right to question it as certain phases of the fertility treatment journey require strict adherence to injection schedules, regular medical monitoring, and time-sensitive procedures that may make travelling more complicated. However, with the right planning and with the help of your team, this can all be managed effectively.

What is the Process?

Once you have made the decision to undergo treatment at Thérapie Fertility, our team can help you ensure that all the right plans are put in place for a smooth and (hopefully) successful journey.

The nursing and medical team will speak to you about:

- Your treatment protocol
- Your medication requirements
- The timing of crucial procedures such as the Egg Collection and the Embryo Transfer

Before you travel, it's always a good idea to bring a medical travel letter from the clinic, confirming your IVF treatment and listing the medications you need to take on the plane. While not mandatory, it helps avoid any delays or misunderstandings at airport security.

How Many Trips Will You Need

Most of your appointments can now be done at our satellite facility in North London. You will need to attend the Dublin clinic for the main procedures only: Egg Collection and Embryo Transfer. Depending on your medical history and any previous fertility testing you may have had, you may be required to have some additional investigations. This can be carried out in our Dublin clinic, or we can refer you to a local clinic should you prefer.

FAQs

Yes, this is quite common and is perfectly safe and legal to do so. While not always required when travelling within Ireland and the UK with IVF injections, a doctor's letter is highly recommended. This document should state:  

  • Your name and date of birth  
  • That you are undergoing IVF treatment  
  • A list of medications you are carrying  
  • That your syringes and needles are medically necessary

As long as you have a letter, there is no issue with carrying your medication in your hand luggage. Thérapie Fertility can provide a letter for you to show your airline if necessary.

We would recommend that you wait to travel until the day following your Egg Collection. 

Yes, it is perfectly safe to travel on the same day as your embryo transfer, if that is what suits you the best. 

Most IVF injections must be kept refrigerated between 2-8°C. You can ensure your meds are kept at the correct temperature while on the move by using a simple chilled food storage bag.

As with any international travel, it is generally a good idea to have travel insurance in place before your trip. Not all travel insurance policies cover IVF treatments, so make sure to read the small print. If required, specialist insurance for fertility treatment travel exists - Look for policies that explicitly cover IVF treatment or pregnancy.

In order to reduce the need for travel during ovarian stimulation (or stims) we have a satellite clinic in London. You may attend this clinic for all of your ultrasounds throughout ovarian stimulation, travelling to Dublin only for the actual Egg Collection procedure.
