What is the success rate of IVF with egg donation at Eugin?
According to Eugin, citing a Bureau Veritas audit carried out in Barcelona from 2018 to 2020, the probability of pregnancy with egg donation is 69% in the first cycle and reaches 98% cumulatively after three cycles. These rates are declared by the clinic.
How many trips to Barcelona are needed for an IVF treatment?
Usually two: a first one for diagnosis, examinations and signing documents, then a second one of 1 to 5 days for retrieval and transfer. Patients living far away can also choose a single stay of 15 days to one month.
Which languages are spoken at Eugin Barcelona clinic?
Eugin’s website is available in French, English, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, German and Portuguese. The patient assistance team indicates it accompanies each patient in their language. Ask at the appointment desk whether your doctor consults in English.
Does Eugin offer a guarantee programme?
Yes. Eugin Promise costs £10,300 for IVF with own eggs (up to 37 years) and £13,700 with egg donation (up to 48 years). It provides for at least three embryo transfers, and the refund only applies under conditions set by the clinic.
How is the selection of egg donors carried out?
Donors are between 18 and 34 years old and undergo medical, genetic and psychological examinations. Eugin compares the genetic profile of the donor and the partner for over 300 serious diseases, then selects a donor physically similar to the recipient.
What are the waiting times to start treatment?
Eugin announces the absence of a waiting list: treatment can start as soon as the file is complete, according to your cycle. The first visit, free, is by video conference or at the clinic. In the UK, egg donation is possible but NHS funding is limited and waiting times can be long.
Is the clinic accessible to female couples and single women?
Yes. Spanish law opens assisted reproduction to single women and female couples. Eugin offers the ROPA method: one of the two women provides her eggs, the other carries the pregnancy. This method is not available on the NHS.
Eugin Barcelona is an ART clinic founded in 1998, located since late 2019 in a building of over 6,000 m² on Balmes Street. It publishes its prices (from £4,900 for IVF with own eggs), announces no waiting list and offers a free first visit by video conference.
In the UK, NHS funding for IVF is limited and varies by region: compare with waiting times near you before deciding to travel.
I have a very positive experience with EUGIN clinic, from the first attempt I became pregnant at 48 age. I got a boy who is now 5 months old. His name is Galen and is a lovely and sweet baby! For all experience I had I can share my knowledge to each future mom:) Thank EUGIN!!!
Great clinic, very professional stuff, communication is perfect. I felt the doctor and other staff are very caring. I had success with Eugen after 15 years of countless infertility treatments in Canada. I wish I would found them earlier. Very recommended!
It was our last try after many unsuccessful IVFs. As we tried for 15 years to get pregnant and my age of 45 my hopes were not very high, however I got pregnant with their program of blood-thinners additionalProgesterone injections and hormones. The pregnancy was perfect no issues and I delivered a healthy baby boy. I am really grateful to the team.
My twin girls are in HAVO 3 together and I couldn’t be happier with them! They are healthy kind and talented! Eugin made it all so easy and my husband and I have the best souvenirs ever from our lovely weekend in Barcelona!
We had a great experience with Eugin team. From start to finish they took care of all our needs, answered all our questions and concerns. We did our first IVF in the United States it was extremely costly and didn't work. To be honest I felt like we were just a number and it was about the money. With Eugin was a totally different experience we have a healthy six month old. I highly recommend this clinic, they are the best!
Dear Team Eugin BarcelonaThank you for the good care you have given me during my treatment at the clinic, it was my first time with you and with this treatment.thanks to you I have a beautiful 6 month old daughter!I want to say to all women who want to become a mothers, it doesn't matter how old your are with Eugin anything is possible!Thanks one more time!!!CV
After unsuccessful rounds of IVF with my own eggs in Switzerland I was given Eugin's contact details. We wanted to start the process with them in 2020 but then covid got in the way. We decided to contact them, again in January 2023, for one last attempt at IVF but this time with a donor egg - now that I am 43 years old and we 'wasted' two years! From the very first contact the process was seamless. They gave step by step support and instructions were always very clear. It only required 2 in person appointments to Spain, one in March for a meeting with the medical staff, and the other on the date of the scheduled transfer. During our first medical appointment in March we were able to get all the bloodwork and Ultrasound done on the day to complete my file - i was impressed by that!..... Well almost 8 months on and I am now pregnant and couldn't be more ecstatic! Clinic Eugin really made it happen and chose the right protocol for me. The distance (I am in Switzerland) they are in Spain did not matter as they responded within 48 hours either via message or a call back. They have long opening hours and you can even reach them on Saturday which I really appreciated. I read some of the google reviews and would like to comment on some of those. Yes, I agree once or twice the 'receptionist' , depending on the language spoken, was quite abrupt, one might even say to the point of being rude. Eugin Barclelona may need to do a better selection process on staff who speak multiple languages to ensure they can be understood over the phone - but this is a minor detail. For the most part, the receptionist and all medical staff were wonderful and very efficient. They were on time at both of my appointments and this clinic really prides itself on privacy!!! This is what I appreciated the most, it really felt like a personalised service rather than an 'industrial' service where you are just a number on a long list of number of people waiting to conceive via IVF. If I have to give a review on the overall experience then I am giving it a 10/10 and highly recommend the clinic to anyone who is trying to conceive.
I froze my eggs at Eugin a few years ago. I was frustrated throughout the process by the disorganization (never being contacted by the same person or seeing the same doctor throughout the process, always being addressed in French- a language I don't understand, being given instructions for non-local residents, etc.), I was happy with the result at first. But 4 years later, only 10 of my 26 mature frozen eggs survived being unfrozen. The last straw was making an appointment and receiving a text message, email and phone call confirming the time, only to arrive and be asked by staff why I had "gotten there so early". They then left me sitting in a room for over an hour, forgetting I was there and blaming me again for coming "so early". I am so thankful I found a different clinic with personalized care and attention where I carried out the rest of the process.
I have to say that shocked by the terrible service to behind with. I had an appointment Via telephone booked with the doctor and I did not manage to get the app they use to work. Instead of calling me via telephone, the medical assistant (who barely spoke English), cancelled my appointment and hang up on me. I had waited weeks to speak with the doctor.
To answer your comment, you seem to be more efficient on google maps (answering after 2 days) than when I was a patient at your clinic (months without an answer or when I received an email it was always a different person who "didn't know", I think I talked to more than 20 different people). There is only one general phone number, you never know who you're talking to and they tell you they're going to call you back, but never do... I think this clinic has good and serious doctors (I had a good experience with them) and it's definitely one of the leader when it comes to fertility clinics, but the administration service is so so chaotic. On the first appointment, they make you think they're very serious and once you've paid and completed the customer feedback, they quality service change drastically. At the end, I decided to leave and go to another clinic because I just lost trust in Eugin and found all the situation unnecessarily stressful. From the beginning I was aware about the commercial aspect and was ok with that cause I had my goals to reach,, but I couldn't tolerate this lack of professionalism. People, feel free to message me privately for more information about my experience.
My experience was with the french speaking medical secretaries who are supposed to call you to provide indication about the secure platform.She was extremely emotional and unstable, ended up hanging up on me when I informed her that unfortunately for her that all my calls are recorded for professional reasons. She knew she was misbehaving that’s probably why she hung up.If the reception is like this I am not sure how to trust EUJIN for the rest of the journey when one would suppose collaboration and kindness given the difficult nature of this particular business.
Very bad experience with egg freezing. They overstimulated me, missed out the perfect ovulation timing and took out only 5 eggs out of 28 follicles! I have warned them several times over the phone that I was developing too many follicles too quickly and asked if I should modify the protocol; they said all is fine. In the plane on the way to Barcelona, I was barely able to sit, I was in so much pain, I thought my ovaries were going to explode. Upon arrival the nurse was so kind and enthusiastic about my high level of follicles. The doctor that was following me (that seemed nice) wasn’t there to perform the retrieval. A young, cold and arrogant doctor just told me “you had five, that’s what we took.” I said how is this possible?! They refused to provide an apology and admit their mistake, they tried to persuade me that it’s normal. They also changed the versions several times. They are a scam with no ethics, just business. I couldn’t afford another series of egg freezing.
I'm Kevin, the founder of the site. My personal journey has made me understand how important it is to be well informed before a cosmetic, dental, hair or reproductive medicine procedure. Today I want to help those who are considering a medical trip, by offering them information on the procedures, their costs, preparation and post-operative follow-up. Although my articles are written with the greatest care, they in no way replace the personalized advice of a health professional. I invite you to discover my story to better understand my approach.
