Welcome Julie! This is indeed a great site for information and support.
I am in the process of a DE cycle at the Iscare clinic in Prague. I should be starting my medications in the next few weeks. So far, it has been a very pleasant experience. Genet and Cube are two other clinics in Prague. The most popular one in the Czech Republic seems to be in the town of Zlin. I know several people who have had success there.
Be sure to ask about egg sharing as some clinics automatically do this and if you want the donor' s eggs 'all to yourself', then make that clear in the initial conversations. Also, they approve donors in their early thirties and so I asked for someone in their twenties. Prices are listed on each clinics website and they will help you with accommodations near your chosen clinic. With travel expenses, I am expecting to pay $10 000 -$12 000. My clinic asked for 2000€ deposit.
There is a thread called Czech Mates on inspire.com where you can connect with many women doing DE in the Czech Republic and hopefully some more ladies here will chime in with their experiences. Mexico seems to be another popular option for DE.
It's overwhelming at first. Feel free to pm me if you have any other questions.
