No, not necessarily piles of cash.. One can do donor egg IVF in Spain or Greece easily enough these days for around 4,500 Euros ($6,100 at current exchange rates). I'm 45 and pregnant wtih my second child after visiting an excellent fertility clinic in Greece where donor egg IVF is available with few hassles. In the US, where I live, fertility clinics routinely charge $25,000-$30,000 for DE IVF (using either a known donor or an anonymous donor), and involve psychologists and lawyers. Insurarance companies are rarely willing to help and legal issues can be thorny. Not so in Greece or Spain. if you do DE IVF with your partner's sperm, he only needs to visit once, in case you don't meet with success on the first cycle - the DNA can be ahem, banked. The mom only needs to spend 3-4 days in Greece every time she tries. I stay in low cost guest houses in Greece (it took me four visits to launch 2 pregnancies using two different donors). I'm not saying DE IVF is cheap, but piles of cash aren't needed - my husband and I both have jobs that don't qualify us as big earners. Anybody who's interested in learning more can look on the web site Fertility Friends UK.com, see message boards, overseas IVF. Greece and Spain have their own links.
