Infertility affects approximately one in six couples in Romania, and Bucharest has become a true medical hub in recent years, with well-equipped private clinics, internationally trained doctors, and access to state-funded programs. If you and your partner are struggling to conceive, this guide gives you a clear picture of the best options available in the capital.

What is IVF?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive procedure in which eggs are retrieved, fertilized in a laboratory with sperm, and the resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus. A full cycle typically lasts 4–6 weeks, from the start of ovarian stimulation to embryo transfer. Surplus embryos can be cryopreserved for future use.

When Should You See a Specialist?

Following standard medical guidelines: if you are under 35 and have been trying for over 12 months without success, it's time for a specialist consultation. Between 35 and 40 — after 6 months of trying. Over 40 — as soon as you decide you want to conceive.

Bucharest offers a mature fertility medical ecosystem, with well-equipped clinics, doctors trained to European and international standards, and significant public funding programs that can dramatically reduce costs. The first step remains the same regardless of clinic: an initial consultation to identify the cause of infertility and establish the right treatment plan.
