Infertility: A Global Health Concern
One in 6 couples around the world will experience difficulties getting pregnant. Infertility is a global issue and, unfortunately, comprehensive and high-quality infertility services are unavailable to many men and women seeking to expand their families.
Fertility Tourism, also referred to as Reproductive Tourism, is a type of medical tourism in which both men and women travel abroad, or to another region within the same country, seeking state-of-the-art infertility treatment such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and chromosome testing (PGS).
CCRM Fertility of Arizona is proud to offer IVF tourism at its convenient Scottsdale, Arizona location, less than 30 minutes away from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. With over 12,000 babies brought into this world since 1982, the experienced and dedicated CCRM Fertility of Arizona medical team is committed to your vision of having children become a reality.
Why You Should Choose CCRM Fertility of Arizona for Infertility Treatment
When considering IVF treatment abroad, it is important to find an infertility clinic with unmatched experience and a track record of success. CCRM Fertility of Arizona was founded over 35 years ago and continues to stand as a leader in reproductive medicine and scientific research. The CCRM team only utilizes the most innovative and proven approaches to successfully treat allaspects of infertility.
One of the key elements of CCRM Fertility of Arizona’s successful infertility treatment is the use of a breakthrough technology that significantly improves IVF outcomes called preimplantation genetic screening or PGS. PGS examines all 23 chromosomes in each embryo, isolates embryos with spontaneous chromosome abnormalities, and only transfers chromosomally normal embryos into the woman. PGS reduces implantation failure (unsuccessful IVF) and miscarriage rates while improving clinical pregnancy rates significantly.
The CCRM Fertility of Arizona believes so strongly in PGS that they are the only infertility clinic in the United States to offer preimplantation genetic screening to its patients at cost. Through PGS, patients at CCRM Fertility of Arizona experience a 20+% higher pregnancy rate than those who use conventional IVF.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do to begin the process?
That’s the simple part. Just call the office at(480) 860-4792(office hours are 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday) to set up an in-office, Skype, FaceTime, or Zoom consult. For all prospective Infertility Tourism patients, the initial consult is done at no charge. At the initial consultation, the IVF and PGS procedure (or any other treatment options) will be discussed in detail and ALL your questions will be answered. Plan on one hour or so for that initial consultation.
How much is IVF treatment in the USA?
IVF treatment is an investment. CCRM Fertility of Arizona works to save you as much money as possible by minimizing the testing and procedures conducted in our offices. Whenever possible, we encourage our patients to work with their OB/GYN or family practitioner to complete preparations before visiting CCRM Fertility for treatment.
Before starting any treatment, we will schedule you for a no-charge consult with our Financial Coordinator to go over the exact cost of the procedure. There are NO hidden fees and you willonlyowe the quoted price for the procedure.
How much time will I spend receiving IVF treatment?
Your first appointment at CCRM Fertility of Arizona is spent retrieving eggs through a transvaginal oocyte aspiration (TVA) and will need to be in Scottsdale, Arizona for about 5 days (you could stay longer allowing CCRM Fertility to do more of your monitoring). After egg retrieval, you can return home and the CCRM Fertility team will spend the next 10-11 days preparing the eggs for implantation; we will fertilize and culture the eggs to the blastocyst stage (days 5-6), biopsy the day 5-6 embryos for chromosome studies, and freeze all the biopsied embryos (awaiting the results of chromosome testing which takes about 5-7 days).
Once we learn that you have chromosomally normal embryos (euploid) and/or the sex you desired, you can begin to prepare (at your home state and/or country) for your frozen embryo transfer (FET) as soon as your period begins after egg retrieval. Preparation will be discussed in detail at your initial visit to CCRM Fertility and follow-up consults at no charge.
Once your frozen embryo transfer (FET) preparation is complete, you will return to the clinic at your earliest convenience for the embryo transfer. For this procedure, you will only need to be in Scottsdale, Arizona for 1-2 days. After the embryo transfer, you can return home in approximately 24 hours. A blood pregnancy test is done 9 days after FET and, when the test is positive, an early ultrasound is done at around 6 ½ weeks by your OB/GYN; or if you are still in Scottsdale, Arizona; at CCRM Fertility, at no charge.
