Surrogacy Cost in Mexico City

How much does surrogacy cost in Mexico City?

A complete surrogacy program at Enlistalo Fertilidad costs $63,000 USD when embryos are created from your own eggs, and between $64,500 and $77,000 USD when donor eggs are used, depending on the size of the donor egg package. Both totals are all-inclusive of the medical treatment, the surrogate's coordination and compensation, and the legal work through to the birth certificate.

For comparison, the same journey in the United States commonly runs past $120,000 USD. The two figures below are the real program prices, not a starting point that grows once an agency adds its own layer, because there is no agency involved. Travel, accommodation in Polanco, and any legal steps in your home country are the main costs on top of the program, and a handful of optional medical procedures apply only if your case needs them. Everything is set out in a written quote before you commit to anything.

Surrogacy with your own eggs, full cost breakdown

This is the program for intended parents who will use their own eggs and sperm to create the embryos. Every line below is part of the $63,000 USD total.

Surrogate selection and contractLegal fees (contract and protocolisation), surrogate screening and selection, coordination and care.	$15,000

Surrogacy with donor eggs, full cost breakdown

When egg quality is a limiting factor, often for intended mothers over 40 or for gay couples and single fathers, embryos are created with a screened egg donor. The program is identical to the one above except that the IVF stage is replaced by a donor egg package, which you choose in one of three sizes.

Shared program services (identical to the own-eggs program)

Surrogate selection and contract	$15,000
Reproductive medicine	$5,500
Administrative fees	$3,000
Prenatal care	$9,000
Birth, certification and registration	$9,000
Pregnancy control	$10,500
Shared services subtotal	$52,000

You then add one donor egg package. Each package includes donor selection, the donor's stimulation medication, the stated number of eggs, anaesthesia, ICSI, egg retrieval, embryo culture, embryo transfer, and cryopreservation of the remaining embryos for 3 months. A larger package usually yields more embryos, which means more transfer attempts from a single cycle.

Donor egg package	8 eggs	12 eggs	16 eggs
Package price	$12,500	$18,750	$25,000
+ Shared services	$52,000	$52,000	$52,000
Expected total	$64,500	$70,750	$77,000

Dr. Castillo Peláez recommends the package size best suited to your age and family goals during the consultation.

Optional procedures and situational fees

These are not part of the program total. They apply only if your medical situation calls for them, and each is priced openly so there are no surprises.

Additional fees that might apply

Procedure or fee	Cost (USD)
Frozen embryo transferCycle monitoring or hormonal preparation, thawing of embryo(s), ultrasound-guided transfer, and progesterone support.	$4,000
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A)PGT-A for aneuploidy on up to 8 embryos.	$5,500

What the program price does not include

Three things sit outside the program total, and we would rather you plan for them now than be surprised later. The first is travel: your flights to and from Mexico City. The second is accommodation in Polanco, mainly the two to four weeks around the birth. The third is anything your home country requires to bring your baby home, such as a passport, a consular report of birth, or an exit permit, along with any legal advice you take in your own jurisdiction.

The optional procedures in the table above are also separate, and they apply only when your case calls for them. Beyond that, the quoted program is what you pay. If your situation would push the cost in either direction, Dr. Castillo Peláez tells you during the consultation, not after you have started.

Why the price is this clear

Most surrogacy quotes are opaque because an agency sits between you and the people doing the work, and every layer adds a margin you cannot see. Here the program is run directly inside the clinic, so the price on this page is the price of the actual services, from the surrogate's coordination and compensation to the IVF, the prenatal care, and the legal filing that places your names on the birth certificate.

Payments are staged across the program's milestones rather than taken as one large deposit, and the schedule is written into your quote before you sign. If you would like to see how this pricing fits your specific situation, the first step is a free consultation with Dr. Castillo Peláez.

Common questions about surrogacy costs in Mexico City

Is this the full price, or are there hidden fees?

The program total covers surrogate coordination and compensation, all IVF and embryology, prenatal care, and the legal work through to the birth certificate. There is no agency fee layered on top. The only extras are the optional procedures listed above, which apply only if your case needs them, plus your own travel and accommodation.

What is the difference between the own-egg and donor-egg programs?

The only structural difference is how the embryos are created. The own-egg program costs $63,000 USD; the donor-egg program starts at $64,500 USD and rises with the size of the egg package. Everything else, the surrogate, the legal process, prenatal care and birth registration, is identical.

Why would I choose 8, 12 or 16 donor eggs?

More eggs generally produce more embryos, which means more transfer attempts from a single cycle and a better chance of reaching a healthy pregnancy without starting over. Dr. Castillo Peláez recommends a package size based on your age and goals during the consultation.

How does this compare to surrogacy in the United States?

A full surrogacy journey in the United States commonly runs past $120,000 USD, and Canada effectively bans compensated surrogacy. The Mexico City program is roughly half the U.S. cost while keeping the medical standard and giving you a court-recognised path to being named on the birth certificate.

Do I pay everything upfront?

No. Payments are staged across the program's milestones rather than taken as a single large deposit, and the exact schedule is set out in your written quote before you commit to anything. No deposit is required to book the first consultation.
