IVF for Americans

IVF in Brazil for American patients.

Can Americans undergo IVF in Brazil? Yes. American patients travel for care at ENNE in São Paulo or Nilo Frantz Medicina Reprodutiva in Porto Alegre (Grupo Nilo Frantz), with English-speaking coordination through Brazil Fertility—the international program, not a treating clinic. For orientation, average IVF treatment cost in Brazil is around US$6,000–$8,000, compared with a U.S. average of $23,474 reported by FertilityIQ. This page explains how to start from the United States, what English support includes, flights, budgeting and follow-up—without inventing timelines or guarantees.

Can Americans undergo IVF in Brazil?

Yes. Americans can pursue IVF in Brazil at identified clinics within Grupo Nilo Frantz: ENNE in São Paulo and Nilo Frantz Medicina Reprodutiva in Porto Alegre. Brazil Fertility coordinates English-speaking communication, planning and practical support for international patients. Medical treatment is delivered by the clinic and physician—not by Brazil Fertility as a separate treating clinic.

You can usually begin with an online consultation from the United States, then share records through a clinic-approved secure channel. Averages help orientation only; your plan and final price follow consultation and the necessary examinations.

How the journey works IVF Brazil vs the USA Understanding IVF costs

Why Americans look abroad.

Many American patients compare treatment-cost bases when domestic coverage is limited, wait times feel long, or a second opinion abroad is part of a broader plan. On published orientation figures already used on this site, average IVF treatment cost in Brazil is around US$6,000–$8,000, versus FertilityIQ’s $23,474 U.S. cycle average for corresponding categories.

Cost alone does not decide suitability. Technology, regulation, travel logistics, language and clinical fit matter equally. For a fuller comparison of cost framing, regulation at a high level and travel trade-offs, see IVF Brazil vs the USA and Why Brazil.

Getting started from the United States.

Your first consultation can be online, so you can meet a specialist and begin assessment without flying first. Tell us about your goals and previous care; your included English-speaking concierge organizes the appointment and explains how to share records securely.

Do not send medical records through the public contact form. That introductory message only needs basic contact details and a general question. Ask the treating clinic for an appropriate secure process before providing health reports, identity documents or other sensitive material.

No individualized treatment plan or final price can be established before consultations and the necessary examinations. After history and results, your specialist recommends procedures and explains their costs.

English-speaking coordination and included concierge.

Brazil Fertility is designed around English-speaking coordination for international patients. Every patient has a dedicated concierge—a native American English speaker based in Brazil—included throughout the patient journey. There is no separate concierge fee to hire.

Your concierge helps with flight choices and booking, accommodation, airport transfers and a schedule aligned with the clinical team. Medical questions and emergencies follow the separate clinical contact instructions provided by your treating team.

Confirm language arrangements for physician conversations, laboratory updates, consent documents and follow-up before you travel.

Travel & concierge About the program

Flying from the United States.

São Paulo is one nonstop flight from Miami: approximately 8½ hours, with service from American Airlines and LATAM. Overnight departures can make it possible to travel in the evening and arrive the following morning. Your concierge coordinates onward travel to Porto Alegre when needed.

Prefer flexible tickets and hotel arrangements until appointment dates are clinically confirmed. Flights, hotels and third-party transport are paid separately from treatment averages; concierge support is included.

This page does not provide visa, immigration or medical-tourism legal advice. Check current entry requirements with official U.S. and Brazilian authorities before you book.

Money: budgeting in US dollars.

Build your budget in two layers: treatment orientation and travel. Our clinical group’s average IVF treatment cost in Brazil is around US$6,000–$8,000 for corresponding categories—clinical care, examinations, medication, laboratory procedures, indicated genetic testing and transfer. The U.S. comparator often cited on this site is FertilityIQ’s $23,474 cycle average.

These figures are averages for orientation—not packages, guarantees or personal quotes. Everyday transport, dining and accommodation are generally less expensive in Brazil than in major U.S. cities, but airfares, hotel nights and third-party services remain separate.

Time away from work.

There is no single stay length that suits every fertility treatment. An egg-freezing cycle, an IVF retrieval and a later embryo transfer can involve different schedules. Monitoring arrangements and your response to treatment also matter.

Ask for an individualized itinerary before booking time off. Confirm whether the plan involves a later trip—especially when genetic testing and a frozen transfer are part of the pathway—and choose flexible travel arrangements where possible.

We do not publish fixed day counts on this page. Your physician and clinical schedule determine how long you should plan to be away.

Medication and monitoring across countries.

Confirm which clinician prescribes and supervises your medication, where it will be obtained, and who performs each monitoring appointment. If care is split between the United States and Brazil, the teams need an agreed way to share results.

Some preparation and monitoring may take place close to home when your treating physician agrees, with clearly assigned providers. Do not begin or change medication based on website information.

Travel documents, medicine transport requirements and any special storage conditions should be checked with the appropriate clinician, airline and authorities before you fly.

After you return home.

Leave Brazil with clear written instructions: medication, follow-up, testing dates if relevant, warning signs discussed by your physician, and whom to contact. Your doctor decides when travelling is appropriate for your recovery.

Follow-up with a U.S. clinician may be part of your plan when agreed. Brazilian and home-country providers may need to coordinate information with your consent. The journey does not end at the airport—any later test, transfer or treatment review should have a clear next step.

If a later frozen embryo transfer requires another visit, your included concierge can help plan that stay once clinical timing is known.

São Paulo or Porto Alegre for U.S. travelers.

São Paulo offers a major international gateway, five-star hotels and a dense restaurant scene around ENNE in Jardim América. Porto Alegre offers an established southern Brazilian medical center with a quieter residential setting around Nilo Frantz in Três Figueiras.

Clinical needs, physician availability and the practicalities of your trip all matter. English-speaking coordination helps you navigate either destination. Your treatment agreement should identify the actual provider, location, services and responsibilities.

Brazil Fertility makes the international journey easier to navigate; it does not replace the treating clinic.
