If you’ve decided to conceive using donor eggs, congratulations! You’ve taken an incredible step on the journey to achieving the family of your dreams. The next step is finding the perfect donor for your family. We work with some of the healthiest, most coveted egg donors around the world and specialize in helping match you with a donor that meets your needs.

First, we’ll meet with you to understand your preferences and all of the factors you would like to consider before choosing your donor. Next, we’ll review and vet profiles to find donors who fit your preferences. In order to provide you with only the best possible matches, all of our registered egg donors undergo comprehensive screenings before being entered in our donor database system. To learn more, you can read about our donor screening process here.

Once you’ve found your perfect match, a legal agreement between the intended parents and the egg donor will be drafted and signed. To make this process as simple and stress-free as possible, we work with top lawyers who specialize in parent-donor agreements. The agreement addresses all the implications of the egg donation process, such as the responsibilities of both parties, compensation terms, egg ownership, and more.

Whether you opt for a fresh cycle or frozen eggs, you’ll be able to start your family as soon as you wish. When using fresh donated eggs, the recipient and the egg donor receive hormonal treatments to synchronize their fertility cycles. This process ensures that the eggs are retrieved when the recipient’s uterine lining is optimally prepared for implantation.

When using fresh eggs, once the donor and recipient’s fertility cycles have been aligned, the eggs are retrieved from the donor in a simple medical procedure. When using frozen eggs, there is no need to synchronize cycles. Instead, when the sperm is ready, the eggs are thawed. In addition to offering you complete flexibility to determine when you want to start your family, using frozen eggs is less complicated and less expensive than using fresh eggs. As a result, using frozen eggs is becoming increasingly popular among intended parents!

Once the eggs and sperm are ready, your fertility doctor can begin the IVF procedure. First, they will fertilize the egg in a laboratory to form an embryo. Then, they will use advanced technology to monitor the growth and health of the embryo, it’s even possible to determine the gender of the fetus at this stage! Then, the medical team will implant the embryo in the intended mother or gestational carrier’s uterus.

Two weeks after the IVF procedure, you can take a pregnancy test to find out if you have a baby on the way!
