IVF with donor egg for +50 in Greek with tests

Hi everyone,
Is there anyone here who is 50+ and has had IVF with donor eggs in Greece?
You might be surprised, but I'm currently 49 and will be turning 50 soon. After several unsuccessful IVF treatments using my own eggs, I started contacting fertility clinics in Europe. The clinics in Greece told me that women aged 50 or over must submit medical reports to the Greek medical authorities before they can proceed with treatment.
I'm wondering how much they cost, and whether the process is easy or difficult to arrange. If anyone has been through this or has any information, I'd really appreciate your advice.
Many thanks!

@Chita77 Hi, not for Greece specifically, but I had treatment abroad also and my medical report was just a letter from my doc to say I was healthy and that pregnancy wasn't harmful for me. I also had breast scans and the usual tests etc. The actual letter from the doctor was a nominal fee. Good luck.

Thank you for your reply @Sara237 . I contacted a few clinics, and they advised me to visit the clinic for a comprehensive health check-up, including blood tests, a cardiac evaluation, and other necessary screenings😀

@Chita77 Sounds sensible and if you can get it done in one go at clinic, it'll be quicker and cheaper than in UK I'd imagine. I did a couple of one day trips, long days but doable.

Hi, the only really knowledgeable source that comes to mind is Egg Donation Friends. They have a lot of information about the nuances of IVF with donor eggs in Europe.
You can also find real patient success stories on Fertility Road, including journeys of women who had treatment at clinics in Greece.

Thank you for your message @flippap ! I know Egg Donation Friends but not Firtility road so I have just strated looking at it. 😀
