Their compassionate care and high standards make all the difference

5 50 Fertility Specialist Consultation

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
After a long road of trying to conceive, choosing Barbados Fertility Centre for our IVF journey has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. From the start, the team at BFC made us feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. The level of professionalism, warmth, and expertise here is outstanding.

We recently completed our IVF cycle and are now preparing for our frozen embryo transfer. Throughout the process, every step was clearly explained, and the staff was always available to answer our questions or ease our concerns. They made what can be a stressful experience feel manageable — even hopeful.

What sets BFC apart is not just their medical excellence, but also the calming, supportive environment they’ve created. Being in Barbados for treatment helped reduce a lot of the stress we were carrying, and we truly felt we were in the best hands.

Although our journey isn’t over yet, we feel incredibly optimistic and supported. If you’re considering fertility treatment, I highly recommend Barbados Fertility Centre. Their compassionate care and high standards make all the difference.

The level of care we received was exceptional, and we always felt like we were in the best hands

IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

We cannot thank Barbados Fertility Clinic enough for making our dream of starting a family come true! After a successful first IVF procedure, we are thrilled to be just weeks away from welcoming our first baby.

From the very beginning, the entire team was incredibly accommodating, kind, and professional. Despite living in a different country, their communication was seamless, ensuring we felt supported and informed every step of the way. They were always quick to answer our questions, address any concerns, and guide us through the process with such compassion and expertise. Special thanks to our coordinator Dionne and all the nurses and doctors that helped us with the procedure.

The level of care we received was exceptional, and we always felt like we were in the best hands. Thank you, BFC team for your dedication and for making this journey so positive and successful. We are forever grateful!

They took the time and went the extra mile for me in every way

5 50 IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

I have had a fantastic experience coming to BFC for my IVF treatment! I travelled to Barbados for treatment from the US and found it to be an incredible journey. All of the staff were caring, knowledgeable and supportive beyond anything I've experienced at any kind of clinic or hospital in the United States. They took the time and went the extra mile for me in every way. The travels and procedures were easy and painless. At 40 years old, I'm now 4 months pregnant with my first child after just one round of IVF at BFC!

Everyone at the front desk was warm, patient and welcoming

5 50 Fertility Specialist Consultation

I am absolutely thrilled to share my incredible experience at BFC and I simply cannot sing enough praises for my amazing nurse Vivian Montero. From the moment we began this journey we have been met with warmth, professionalism and genuine care that made our Fertility journey an incredibly positive one.

I was so excited to meet the team in person. Vivian is a true gem authentic in her care. Her knowledge, compassionate demeanor, and unwavering dedication were helpful in guiding us through a complex an emotional charged process. While staying in Barbados she gave us wonderful tips and places to visit to make the stay even more enjoyable.

The overall positivity from each person I came into contact with was wonderful. Faith, with heavenly hands gave me a message for the ages. Nicole was so friendly and Lynn was so easy to talk to. Everyone at the front desk was warm, patient and welcoming.

My husband and I are overjoyed to have had the privilege of being under the care of Barbados Fertility Centre and was truly blessed to have Vivian Montero as my nurse.

If you're embarking on a fertility journey, we wholeheartedly recommend BFC.

They were so kind, understanding and immensely supportive through all the ups and downs

5 50 IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

My husband and I did a round of IVF at BFC. The prices even with travel and accommodations were cheaper than here is Canada. The prices and high success rates were what initially attracted us, but there is a level of psychological safety in having a relaxing tropical vacation if nothing else.

The clinic was SO incredibly responsive, people actually answered the phone and would get back immediately and treatment was never delayed - two things that were big problems in our Calgary clinic.

BFC never made us feel like a number. They were so kind, understanding and immensely supportive through all the ups and downs that is IVF/infertility.

Another huge factor is the depth and breadth of treatments available at BFC, many which aren't available in Canada (ie: Protein plasma treatment, 2 embryo implantation, various medication regimen not offered in Canada). We are expecting in January, and are so grateful for all that BFC did for us.

I have literally had the best experience with all the staff I came across at BFC. Anna walked me through the entire process replied to my emails in a timely manner. The staff were so hopeful. I remember the receptionist telling me “Belief, Miracles do happen” and it all came to reality. Dr Corona is so passionate about the care she provides. I am carrying my baby now all thanks to BFC. Thank you all so much.Will definitely be back. As a matter of fact, it’s the best fertility centre!

They made our dreams come true after so many years

5 50 Fertility Specialist Consultation

BFC is so special for so many reasons. The staff truly care about their patients and welcome you like family. They treat each case individually and do not just throw treatments at you like other facilities. They take the time to research, assess, and plan with you the best approach to becoming pregnant. They are also very knowledgeable about different treatments and techniques. The level of customer service you receive is better than any I have ever experienced in the United States, and I am in healthcare as a registered nurse. We could not recommend them enough to others! They made our dreams come true after so many years! Life-changing experience 🥰

Their knowledge and comforting manner guiding you through your journey makes a big difference

5 50 Fertility Specialist Consultation

Barbados Fertility Centre will always have a glowing recommendation from my husband and I. Their knowledge and comforting manner guiding you through your journey makes a big difference. Dr Skinner, in our first phone consultation, was so knowledgeable and her positivity in my chances were so infectious that I was excited immediately. I will always be grateful for their patience with my million and one questions and the friendly atmosphere which helped calm my nerves many times. I will forever be grateful to Barbados Fertility Centre.

5 50 Fertility Specialist Consultation

This is the closest you can get to perfect customer service and a skilled, world-class team. You’re treated like your family; so much that when you’re not around them, you really really miss them. The perfect mix of professionalism and personality. Thank you especially to Jen (I considered her my 2nd mum) and can’t forget Britney from TT. Tracey! Dionne, Danielle, Anna and my dear Cyrilene from BIM. You guys have an amazing thing going and I’m proud to have been part of it and help in the small ways that I could have. There’s not much that resounds with me in this world but my experiences with you guys surely have! I will definitely, without a doubt, recommend you all. Thank you again! Dionne, you are a gem.

I knew I was in the right hands

5 50 Fertility - Alternative Treatment • Paid: $49998

I had never heard of BFC until I was sitting in an international airport two years ago, waiting for my flight home. I had bought a well-known magazine to read and came across a story about a mature lady and her husband who had struggled with infertility for years and was finally successful after seeking assistance from BFC. The couple was blessed with a little girl who was their pride and joy.

At that time in my own life, I had only been married for a short time but wanted to start a family. I had started treatment locally in my own country and was treated with fertility medication for six months but was unsuccessful. After reading the story in the magazine and after my last failed attempt at fertility medication, my doctor at the time recommended BFC without her even knowing that I had read about the same place just recently. Her recommendation confirmed that this was the place I needed to go.

I visited the clinic's website and spoke with Anna who was so comforting and understanding and helped to cement in my mind that I was definitely making the right decision. As I was in my late thirties with low AMH levels, I knew I needed to act swiftly. After several months of correspondence, the required treatments and tests and trying to convince my husband this is what we needed to do, we headed to Barbados the following year to begin IVF treatments. We met with Anna, Dr. Skinner, Dr. Corona, Natalia the embryologist, Cyrilene, Emily the comedic nurse, Dionne and the rest of the team.

After speaking with everyone, I knew I was in the right hands. BFC knows how to provide excellent customer service, especially when dealing with such a sensitive issue as fertility. I have never felt more cared about and supported. I was not just a number to them but a woman with emotions and concerns in a very delicate and fragile state looking for hope and a chance at motherhood. After two failed IVF attempts, I am currently pregnant and my family and friends could not be happier and thrilled for us! It almost feels surreal that I will be a mother in a few short months but I am so thankful and grateful to BFC for assisting in making this happen. It was a financial sacrifice but well worth it. I would recommend BFC to anyone who has gone through fertility struggles and feel that they may never have a chance of having a family but go to the website, speak to Anna and leave the rest to BFC!

A positive pregnancy test 12 days later

5 50 IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation • Paid: $12133

As a woman in her 40's who had had 5 miscarriages in the past the choice of IVF in the UK was both expensive & as we would probably need a donor egg going to be a long wait as eggs from black or Asian donors I was told were over a 2 year wait & not guaranteed even then!
We looked around & first visited a clinic in Brazil & unfortunately had two unsuccessful rounds. We then read a fantastic review on the Barbados Fertility Centre & decided to try there. They did more tests for problems than we had previously had & two of these found problems which the clinic said needed to be addressed before we started.
We then traveled to Barbados for 3 weeks ( incorporating a relaxing de-stressing holiday which I'm sure was very beneficial!)
We had or IVF & 12 days later a fantastic POSITIVE pregnancy test!!!

The staff & Dr's at this clinic were hugely welcoming. They were positive & greeted EVERYONE with a smile which, knowing how stressful the whole process of IVF can be, is a wonderful welcome. Very professional but still somehow make you feel like a part of some huge family!
Helpful when there are any difficulties in getting & with medication & prescriptions from overseas.

Personal support wonderful!

Our experience was exceptional

IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

My husband and I tried for about 6 years to have a family and we were faced with IVF. We chose this clinic because of the high success rates and the outstanding reviews. I could not find one bad review! The team at BFC has changed our lives and we are so blessed to have found them.

Our experience was exceptional. We were treated with so much love and care. Everyone and the clinic made our experience the best that we could ask for. They welcomed us with open arms and by the time we left to say goodbye, they were all giving hugs and wishing us the best of luck. It really was a great experience and they truly enjoy helping you become a family.

Fertility

from $500

Blastocyst Transfer

In natural conception embryos arrive in the uterus 5-6 days after fertilisation. With present day IVF, embryos are routinely transferred back 3 days after fertilisation. Recent breakthroughs in the laboratory and developments in media culture have made it possible to grow embryos in vitro for up to 5 days. This is referred to as blastocyst development. By growing the embryos to blastocyst stage you have the potential to choose the best developing embryos and also to transfer fewer embryos, which results in increased pregnancy rates and lowers the multiple pregnancy rates. However, not all patients are suitable candidates for this procedure.
 

Egg Donor

The egg donation programme was set up to link women that wanted to donate their eggs with those couples that need donated eggs. A woman might need donated eggs for a number of reasons: - Premature ovarian failure - Genetic reasons for not using her own eggs, i.e. some diseases are transmitted genetically. - Older women who have had previously unsuccessful fertility treatments The donors are usually between 21 and 35 years old and donate altruistically to a known or an anonymous recipient. The woman donating her eggs is given fertility drugs to stimulate her ovaries and the development of several mature follicles. Each of these follicles may contain an egg. The recruitment and development of the follicles is regularly monitored by ultrasound scans and blood tests. This is to ensure that the ovarian stimulation is both safe and effective. The pregnancy rate for those treated using donated eggs is 35 % per treatment cycle at Barbados Fertility Centre. However, the success rate is dependant on many factors, such as the number and quality of the donated eggs.
 

Egg Freezing

 

Egg Sharing

 

Embryo Freezing

Embryo storage per additional year Embryo Cryopreservation is the process by which the surplus embryos from an IVF or ICSI cycle may be stored or frozen, for use at a later date. Embryos can be frozen at a number of their developmental different stages –up to and including blastocyst stage. The Embryologist selects the embryos suitable for freezing. The embryos are then introduced into special culture media, called cryoprotectant, to help protect them during the freezing and storage process. The embryos are then frozen using a computerised embryo freezer. Worldwide, the success rates for frozen-thawed embryos are lower than those for fresh embryo transfers.

FET - Frozen Embryo Transfer

from $13999

ICSI - Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

This price is ICSI IVF. Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a modification of the in vitro fertilisation (“Test-tube baby”) technique where the egg is fertilised outside the body by injecting the sperm directly into it. The embryo(s) are then introduced back into the woman’s uterus in the same way as for IVF. ICSI is typically suitable for several groups of patients, such as: - Men with abnormal semen parameters. - Couples with previous poor fertilisation using IVF. The woman is given fertility drugs to stimulate her ovaries and the development of several mature follicles. Each of these follicles may contain an egg. The recruitment and development of the follicles is regularly monitored by ultrasound scans and blood tests. This is to ensure that the ovarian stimulation is both safe and effective. Our fertility specialist performs the embryo transfer procedure. The selected embryos are introduced, through a fine catheter, into the woman’s uterus. Typically 2-3 embryos are transferred depending on the patient’s circumstances. The embryo transfer procedure takes no more than half an hour and few women experience any discomfort. The first ICSI baby was born in 1992 and subsequently many babies have been born through this technique.
 

IUI - Intrauterine Insemination

Intra-Uterine Insemination is the introduction of prepared sperm into the uterus in order to improve the chances on pregnancy. IUI-H is applied to couples in which the woman has open fallopian tubes and the male partner has normal semen parameters. IUI-H involves tracking the progress of the menstrual cycle using ultrasound scans and blood tests. For those women that do not have regular menstrual cycles OI may be employed to help stimulate the production of a mature follicle. The IUI procedure is performed on the day of ovulation. Once ovulation has been confirmed the male partner produces a semen sample. This semen sample is then prepared in the laboratory by the Embryologist. The aim of the preparation process is to harvest a good number of motile, normal looking sperm. The prepared sperm are then introduced, through a fine catheter, into the woman’s uterus. The success rate for IUI-H is typically between 10 – 15 % per cycle.
from $7000

IVF - In Vitro Fertilisation

Thawing and transfer(including assisted hatching ) In Vitro Fertilisation also known as the “Test-tube baby” technique, is where the egg is fertilised outside the body and the embryo(s) are introduced back into the woman’s uterus. IVF is typically suitable for several groups of patients, such as: - Couples in which the woman has blocked or damaged Fallopian tubes. - Women with endometriosis or ovarian disorders. - Men with abnormal semen parameters. - Couples with unexplained infertility. The woman is given fertility drugs to stimulate her ovaries and the development of several mature follicles. Once mature follicles have been produced the eggs are collected using an ultrasound-guided needle through the vaginal wall and into the ovary. This procedure is performed under sedation/local anaesthetic. The collected eggs are then placed into culture in the embryology laboratory. Our Fertility Specialist performs the embryo transfer procedure. The selected embryos are introduced, through a fine catheter, into the woman’s uterus. Typically 2-3 embryos are transferred, depending on the patient’s circumstances. The embryo transfer procedure takes no more than half an hour and few women experience any discomfort. The success rate for IVF is typically 25 – 30 % per treatment cycle. However, the success rate is dependant on many factors, such as the age of the woman.
