Egg Donation Recipient FAQ's

Can I arrange an egg donor who is ready for a transfer during my vacation next month?
No. The prospective donor must have no less than 7 weeks from the date of her last period to complete a full cycle of fertility medications. After we’ve completed her medical testing we can give you a general idea of when the transfer can occur. Your treatment can be completed within between three and four months after you match with your donor.

Do all of your egg donors have proof of pregnancy in the past?
No. Ideal donors are between the age of 21-30. There are, however, many donors who have had a pregnancy and who have and don’t have college degrees who are very bright and follow our directions quickly and without difficulty. If you review their applications, they often had an unplanned early pregnancy and chose to have the child. Unfortunately, this prevented them from following any plans for further education. They may, nevertheless, be very intelligent.

Is there a difference between frozen and fresh embryo transfer pregnancy rates?
This factor differs by center, but the rate difference is quite insignificant due to the advances in technology and embryology.

Can I really be confident that my egg donor will continue in the program with us?
There are never any guarantees, which is why we do such stringent screening. We spend a great deal of time explaining the program and the procedures and requirements to minimize this factor. The majority of the women we work with are kind, helpful, genuine and RELIABLE. If, however, she does change her mind, we will help you find another donor with no additional fee to CEO.
