Simply reach out to us to get started! During conversation, we’ll take the time to understand your needs and guide you through the next steps with our plans.
The timeline will vary from one recipient to another and will depend on their individual circumstances. In most cases recipients will start choosing a donor soon after they have registered with their IVF clinic and us. Some of our recipients were reported pregnant as early as 3 – 4 months after they registered.

Donor Information
We personally select and screen egg donors from Ukraine, following strict guidelines set by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and our ethics board. Our team conducts a thorough assessment, which includes a medical history, physical and mental health review, infectious disease testing and genetic screening, ensuring the highest standards of care and safety.
Genetic carriers have a change, known as a mutation, in a specific gene, which means they have inherited a recessive allele. Practically everyone can be a carrier of at least one genetic condition, which causes no obvious symptoms and it is therefore not an issue. However when two people who have the same genetic condition have children together, some of their children may inherit the mutation and have the condition. If you select a donor which is a carrier of a specific condition, you can opt to be screened for this condition too and if you are not a carrier, you can proceed with this donor.
Most of our donors have proven fertility, as they have successfully given birth to their own children. This provides us with confirmation of at least one successful pregnancy and live birth.
We understand the importance of success rates in your decision-making process.
We’re proud to share that our donor egg program boasts impressive statistics: a clinical pregnancy rate of 75%, a fertilisation rate of 72%, and a thaw survival rate of 96%.
These high success rates reflect our commitment to providing quality donor eggs for your fertility journey.
While we prioritise transparency, our egg donors remain anonymous throughout the process. However, we will provide you with as much non-identifiable information about them that we can supply, including age, physical characteristics, medical history, occupation, and education.
Donor’s photos can be provided in accordance with your fertility clinic’s state regulations.
Rest assured, the egg donor is not considered the parent of your child and holds no legal or financial responsibilities. Your rights as the parent are protected.
Our team understands the importance of finding a donor who aligns with your desires, including physical traits or characteristics. While we strive to accommodate such requests, it’s important to note that donor availability may vary. We’re here to work closely with you, providing personalised guidance and support throughout the selection process to help you find the best possible match for your family.
