Why Use Frozen Donor Eggs

Fresh vs Frozen

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.

We Want You To Have All Of The Facts About
Using Frozen Donor Eggs.

Deciding to use donor eggs is an important step in building your family.

1. As egg vitrification (freezing) 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.
2. Frozen donor eggs represent a more cost effective and convenient option. At Fairfax EggBank, recipients receive a cohort of 6-8 quality oocytes from their chosen donor. Each fully-screened donor is displayed on our donor database along with basic information, medical history, and personal details to help recipients find the donor that best matches their needs.
3. Fairfax EggBank offers an embryo development guarantee, that ensures at least one good embryo will result from your purchased cohort. A replacement cohort is offered if the quality standard guarantee is not met.

Thanks to egg freezing, IVF with donor eggs is within closer reach for families who might not otherwise be able to afford it.
