For patients in the United States and Canada, IVF with preimplantation genetic testing in Mexico is the most practical option for treatment abroad. Clinics in Cancun, Mexico City, and Guadalajara offer the same genetics laboratory technology used in North American centers, with English-speaking teams, no waiting lists, and costs that are 60 to 70 percent lower than equivalent treatment at home. Mexico has no federal ART law. Fertility treatment is governed by the General Health Law and the guidelines of REDLARA, the Latin American Registry of Assisted Reproduction. The result is a more inclusive and flexible environment than most regulated destinations.

Initial consultation, IVF cycle monitoring and scans, egg retrieval, IVF lab charges, embryo culture, biopsy and genetic testing, embryo freezing. Frozen embryo transfer may also be included in some packages.

Additional costs to consider:

  1. Ovarian stimulation medications, purchased separately
  2. Pre-travel monitoring scans and bloodwork at a clinic near you
  3. Return flights and accommodation for your treatment stays
  4. Local transport and daily expenses
  5. Annual embryo storage fees after the first year
  6. PGT-A is often billed per embryo biopsied rather than as a flat fee — confirm the structure before you commit


Mexico has no national ART registry. Clinics self-report their outcomes. Always ask for an itemized quote and age-stratified live birth rates, not just pregnancy rates.


IVF with PGT success rates in Mexico

The following figures are drawn from published data across leading Mexican fertility centers. Ask your clinic for their own audited outcomes rather than relying on national averages.


  1. Under 35: approximately 55 to 65 percent live birth rate per transfer
  2. 35 to 40: approximately 45 to 55 percent
  3. 40 to 45: approximately 25 to 40 percent


For transfers of PGT-A tested euploid embryos, some leading centers report live birth rates of 75 to 85 percent per transfer in younger patient groups. Your individual outcome depends on age, ovarian reserve, embryo quality, and laboratory standards.


Benefits of IVF with PGT in Mexico

  1. Cost: 60 to 70 percent less than an equivalent cycle in the United States, where genetic testing alone can add thousands to the total
  2. No waiting lists: US and Canadian patients routinely wait months for a first consultation. Mexican clinics can typically start within weeks
  3. Same technology: leading Mexican clinics use the same NGS platforms, time-lapse incubators, and stimulation protocols as North American centers
  4. Embryo portability: Mexico generally permits the export of frozen embryos, giving you the flexibility to transfer at a clinic in your home country
  5. Gender selection: legal in Mexico for both medical and non-medical reasons via PGT — restricted or prohibited in the US, Canada, and most of Europe
  6. Inclusive eligibility: single women, unmarried couples, and same-sex female couples are accepted at most clinics without restriction
  7. Short travel: from most US cities, Mexico is a two to four hour flight


IVF with PGT Mexico FAQs

Who can access IVF with PGT in Mexico?

Mexico is one of the most inclusive fertility destinations in the world. Heterosexual couples, unmarried couples, single women, and same-sex female couples are accepted at most leading clinics. There are no federal eligibility restrictions. Confirm your specific situation with your chosen clinic before booking.


Can I take my frozen embryos home after treatment in Mexico?

In most cases, yes. Mexico generally permits the export of frozen embryos. Your home country's import regulations also apply. Confirm the logistics with both clinics before you start treatment if you plan to transfer embryos abroad.


Is gender selection available with IVF with PGT in Mexico?

Yes. Gender selection via PGT is legal in Mexico for medical and non-medical reasons and is openly offered at a number of clinics. Confirm that the clinic uses NGS-based PGT for sex selection, and ask about their specific protocol and pricing.


How long do I need to stay in Mexico for IVF with PGT?

Two trips. The retrieval stay is typically ten to fourteen days. The transfer visit is four to five days. Many clinics coordinate remote monitoring during stimulation, so you only need to be in Mexico for the retrieval and transfer phases.


How do I evaluate a clinic without a national registry?

Ask for age-stratified live birth rates from the past two years, check for REDLARA membership, and look for specialists with US or internationally recognized board certification. Patient reviews from verifiable international communities are also a useful signal.
