Modern embryology and international standards of care form the foundation of our work. But we believe human connection is just as important. At EFC, treatment is built on open dialogue — we explain every step, answer your questions, and support you from the first consultation to a long-awaited positive pregnancy test.

IVF (in vitro fertilization) gives couples and individuals a chance to become parents when natural conception is not possible for medical reasons. Fertilization takes place in the embryology laboratory, and the resulting embryos are either transferred into the uterus or cryopreserved for future treatment. At EFC, every stage of the process is supervised by an experienced team of doctors and embryologists, ensuring safety, transparency, and the best possible results.

IVF Programs
Every story is unique. Our doctors will help you choose the right program and create a personalized treatment plan.
IVF with own eggs
Ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, and fertilization of your own oocytes. Suitable for women with good reproductive potential.
from 4000 USD
IVF with donor sperm
Donor sperm is used in cases of male infertility or for single women. The donor is selected together with the doctor from the clinic’s database.
from 4900 USD
IVF with donor eggs
A donor is chosen based on medical indications and the couple’s preferences. Donor oocytes are fertilized with the partner’s sperm, and the embryo is transferred to the patient.
from 7000 USD

The doctor reviews your medical history and previous examinations, creating an individual treatment plan. For patients living abroad, the first online consultation lasts about one hour.
2
Examination
The next step is a comprehensive assessment of your reproductive health to determine the best way to pregnancy. After completing all tests, your doctor defines the treatment timeline and key stages.
3
Ovarian stimulation (if using own oocytes)
A personalized stimulation protocol is selected. Follicular growth is monitored by ultrasound every 3–4 days.
4
Egg retrieval and fertilization
The procedure is performed under anesthesia in a day hospital setting. Patients can usually leave the clinic within two hours. Retrieved eggs are fertilized in the laboratory, and embryologists monitor embryo development until day 5.
5
PGT (if indicated)
Preimplantation genetic testing helps select chromosomally healthy embryos and increases the chance of a successful pregnancy. If PGT is required, embryo transfer is postponed until getting results.
6
Embryo transfer
The most promising embryo is transferred into the uterus, and the remaining viable embryos are cryopreserved for future use.
7
Medication support
After transfer, the doctor prescribes medication to support implantation and early pregnancy. Our team stays in touch and provides guidance during this crucial stage.
8
Pregnancy confirmation
Two weeks later, an HCG test and the first ultrasound are performed — the moment when we share the joy of your result together.
On average, one IVF cycle takes 4–6 weeks, depending on the protocol and medical indications.
Our team
We believe that both technology and human care are essential for successful IVF.
Your doctor, embryologist, and coordinator work together so that you always understand what’s happening — and feel confident every step of the way.
How often will I need to visit the clinic during the IVF program?
During the examination stage, 1–2 visits are usually enough. During stimulation, patients come every 2–3 days for ultrasound monitoring. Then egg retrieval takes place, followed by embryo transfer about 5–6 days later. In total, there are usually around 9–11 visits per cycle.
Is IVF legal for international patients?
Yes, IVF is legal and available in Georgia for international patients.
Can single women undergo IVF?
Yes, IVF is available for single women. The procedure and medical support are the same as for married couples.
What languages do the doctors and coordinators speak?
The main languages are Georgian, Russian, and English. Coordinators also speak more than ten other languages, including Chinese and Hebrew, which helps us make the process comfortable for patients from all over the world.
What is the difference between a natural and a stimulated cycle?
A natural cycle uses one naturally matured egg — a gentler approach without hormonal stimulation, though with fewer embryos (typically 1–2).
A stimulated cycle allows multiple eggs to mature, providing more embryos for selection.
When is a frozen embryo transfer (FET) recommended?
FET is chosen in cases of ovarian hyperstimulation risk, suboptimal endometrial timing (“implantation window”), additional testing needs, or after PGT. It allows transfer at the most favorable time.
Is ICSI necessary for everyone?
No. ICSI is used when medically indicated — in cases of male infertility, previous failed fertilizations, or specific sperm characteristics. The decision is made by the embryologist.
How many embryos should be transferred?
In most cases, we recommend transferring a single embryo (SET) to minimize the risk of multiple pregnancy.
What is PGT and when is it recommended?
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) analyzes the chromosomal set of embryos. It’s recommended for recurrent implantation failures, recurrent miscarriage, advanced maternal age, or known genetic risks.
Do I need to cancel the cycle if the endometrium is thin?
Not always. The treatment plan may be adjusted — dosage, timing, or protocol. If the endometrium doesn’t reach the desired thickness, transfer is postponed to the next cycle.
This information is for general reference and does not replace a personal consultation. Final decisions on examinations and protocols are made by your EFC doctor.
