When the decision is made to pursue IVF with donor eggs, many choose frozen donor eggs as a more cost-effective choice than fresh donor eggs. But a donor egg cycle can still be costly, and health insurance options for donor egg treatment remain limited. We’ve compiled some tips and resources to help you get some ideas about making donor eggs from a frozen donor egg bank more affordable.
Here at Fairfax EggBank, our pricing is simple and straightforward, with no hidden fees or unexpected costs. In addition, we offer an embryo development guarantee, giving eligible clients a free replacement of donor eggs if the first set of donor eggs did not meet our quality-standard criteria.
We also offer a couple of discount programs:

If you followed our blog series, Trisha’s Journey, you’ll know that crowdfunding can serve as a creative way to gather support from your friends, family, and even strangers. Trisha raised nearly $10,000 using GoFundMe – she even printed postcards and sent them to celebrities. There are many people who have gone through similar experiences and/or can empathize with those experiencing infertility, and are eagerly looking to help strangers in need. If you are open to sharing your story, then crowdfunding can potentially help you finance your treatment.
Another exciting crowdfunding option is a gift registry service, such as Deposit a Gift. You might think that a gift registry is only for china patterns and chafing dishes. But today, registries extend beyond weddings and babies, and can even extend towards those needing support to finance fertility treatment. With a personalized website, you can share your experience with family and friends and give them an opportunity to provide you with financial and emotional support.
We also encourage you to search for grants that help support select patients finance their fertility treatment. Here’s a rundown of several foundations and nonprofits that offer grants or scholarships:
