How Much Does It Cost to Use Donor Eggs?

At many fertility clinics the success rates of IVF with donor eggs are similar for both fresh or frozen donor eggs. As you might expect, fresh donor eggs are retrieved from the donor and fertilized immediately with sperm from the intended father or sperm donor. Fertilized eggs are incubated in the IVF laboratory for 5 days until they reach the blastocyst embryo stage, at which point they will be frozen for later transfer to the intended mother’s uterus or that of a surrogate. If Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGT-A) is planned, blastocysts are first biopsied before being frozen.

If using frozen eggs, the intended mother or surrogate begins to prepare her uterine lining with hormones, so that 6 days before embryo transfer the frozen donor eggs can be thawed, fertilized and allowed to develop to the blastocyst embryo stage in order to be synchronized with the uterine lining at the time of embryo transfer. Additional blastocysts are frozen for future use. If Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGT-A) is planned, frozen eggs are thawed and ensuing blastocysts biopsied and then refrozen awaiting the PGT-A results. In this setting, the intended mother or surrogate will prepare her uterine lining later when the PGT-A results return.

For frozen blastocysts derived from fresh eggs or blastocysts derived from frozen eggs, there is no need to synchronize the intended mother’s cycle with the egg donor retrieval cycle thus providing convenience and alleviating stress.

We offer a 60-day refund window so long as the eggs have not shipped. We will provide a full refund to intended parents should there be a medical concern, i.e. genetic incompatibility, and for clinics that do not affiliate.

If the match is canceled for any other reason inside the 60-day refund window, a $2,000 fee will apply. Once eggs have shipped, the sole remedy to fulfill the guarantee is a replacement batch.

We do not provide refunds on egg batches once shipped. Incidents involving survivability and unrecovered eggs will not be considered until the outcome of the entire batch has been reported and all supporting documents received. We do not offer refunds in lieu of a replacement batch.

Embryo Development Guarantee

We offer an Embryo Development Guarantee of one blastocyst for every paid batch of 6 eggs. The guarantee applies only to paid batches and not to approved replacement batches.

Our guarantee applies to the performance of the entire batch. Outcomes must be reported to determine if the Embryo Development Guarantee is met. We do not offer an egg survival or a euploid guarantee.
