Is IVF treatment with donor eggs really legal for German couples? Are there any legal consequences?

Yes, IVF treatment with donor eggs is legal for German couples when performed abroad. While German law does not allow egg donation within Germany, it does not prohibit patients from undergoing this treatment in another country where egg donation is legal and properly regulated.

Thousands of German couples consciously choose this option every year. In the Czech Republic, egg donation is permitted under strict ethical and medical guidelines, ensuring anonymity and legal protection for all parties involved.

Doctors and gynecologists in Germany are usually not allowed to recommend specific clinics abroad, but they typically provide standard pregnancy care after your return – regardless of where conception occurred.

IVF with donor eggs abroad is a legal, safe, and increasingly common solution for German couples facing infertility.
