Fresh vs Frozen Donor Eggs

Frozen donor eggs are a more affordable option compared to fresh donor eggs.

  • Recipients don’t pay for the egg donor’s various expenses and fees.

Quality control with frozen donor eggs can be attained with fewer variables.

  • When using fresh donor eggs, unforeseen circumstances might occur in the egg donor’s life which can affect the timing of the donor and recipient’s cycles.
  • There is no guarantee on the number of donor eggs retrieved during a fresh cycle.
  • A major risk in shared donor egg programs is that there is no guarantee how many eggs will be shared, and often there is a need to wait for 1 or 2 other people to share the egg donor with you.

Why Frozen Donor Eggs?

There has been an increase in the use of frozen donor eggs in the past 10 years.

  • More and more physicians understand the benefits of frozen donor eggs, and often prefer them to fresh.
  • Intended parents have the ability to coordinate their pregnancy without aligning their cycle to that of a fresh egg donor.
  • As egg vitrification (freezing) technology has rapidly advanced, Fairfax EggBank prides itself on requiring a strict protocol that is used across all of our retrieval sites. This ensures all donor egg cohorts are handled with the highest level of quality control.

Frozen Donor Eggs Have Revolutionized Possibilities For IVF Treatments

There are several benefits of using frozen donor eggs from Fairfax EggBank. Recipients are provided with a large selection of donors from across the nation, and those cohorts of eggs are available immediately. Frozen donor egg recipients do not have to align their cycle to that of a fresh egg donor, which makes it easier to plan around the recipient’s or gestational carrier’s cycle. The frozen donor egg purchase is also more predictable. Recipients know the number of eggs they will receive from their cohort, allowing them to plan accordingly. In most cases, frozen donor eggs are a more affordable option than fresh donor eggs, and Fairfax EggBank offers an embryo development guarantee on their donor egg cohorts.
