Many childless couples - clients of the Feskov Human Reproduction Group - before contacting our clinic, collected information about the cost of egg donation in Germany. This country with its more than 100 reproductive centers has been successfully helping couples overcome the most difficult cases of infertility for many years. But this is achieved exclusively by correcting endocrine factors and improving IVF methods and egg cell cultivation. The reason is prosaic: egg donation in Germany, together with surrogacy, is prohibited by law. 

For couples having difficulties with childbearing, finding an egg donor in Europe is often very problematic. In a number of countries (Canada, Great Britain, the Netherlands), donor anonymity is excluded, since according to the law, parents must provide full information about the donor at the first request of their child who has reached the age of 18 years. In Austria, Germany, Switzerland, egg donation is prohibited.
