Infertility Treatment Using Eggs from a Donor

At MFS, we strive to bring a seamless, supportive and stress-free approach to every step as you go through treatment using donor egg. We work with several egg donation agencies and we will help guide you in choosing the best agency that that has the most comprehensive and rigorous vetting process to choose their egg donors and that offers the best price for their services.

Advantages of Using Donor Eggs

Using frozen donor eggs is much less expensive, quicker, and easier than using standard fresh donor eggs.
Women using donor egg do not have to wait for known donor to be ready and be stimulated to collect eggs for the preparation of the recipient to start with a view to IVF and embryo transfer.
The cycle of the recipient does not have to be synchronized with the egg donor’s cycle in order to go forward with the IVF cycle.
Care is conveniently planned around the recipient’s schedule.
Using frozen donor eggs eliminates uncertainty about the donor’s ability to complete the egg donation process.
When using a fresh donor, there is always a risk of cancellation of the donor cycle due to the donor’s poor response to medications, donor non-compliance, poor quality eggs recruited or an unplanned donor pregnancy.

All frozen egg banks require egg donors to pass the most rigorous screening tests, including:

  • Ovarian reserve
  • Health: The donor is screened to exclude infectious diseases like CMV, hepatitis, syphilis and HIV prior to releasing the eggs to recipient
  • Family Health background for 3 generations
  • Genetic screening
  • Psychological screening

Affordability

  1. Use of frozen eggs is half the cost of fresh egg donation IVF.
  2. After the purchase of the eggs, there is no further expense associated with the donated eggs; whereas, with fresh donor egg IVF, you are responsible for all of the donor’s expenses, including medications, monitoring, procedures, psychological and genetic testing, legal consultations, insurance and compensation.

Simplicity

  • A frozen donor egg cycle is simple. After only one or two ultrasounds and a few blood tests, you are ready for your embryo transfer.
