Egg donor services—explained
If you are seeking eggs for your gender-diverse or same-sex relationship, or you are facing poor egg quality and diminished egg supply, you have options. Our team will review the options for obtaining high-quality eggs for your fertility needs.
Our centers are here to help you obtain the best eggs possible. We are sought out as the premier destination for third-party reproduction, and our experience provides our patients with unique industry guidance.
There are two options for obtaining and utilizing donor eggs in an IVF cycle:
FROZEN EGGS
In frozen egg programs, the eggs have already been retrieved, vetted, and frozen. The remaining steps are to thaw, fertilize, and then transfer the embryo into the carrier.
FRESH EGGS
In fresh egg donations, the egg donor is selected, and contracts are finalized. Then the egg donor is contacted to proceed with her IVF cycle. We are then able to freeze the egg donor-created embryos. When the patient and gestational carrier are ready for the embryo transfer, the embryo transfer cycle is scheduled. And the frozen blastocyst(s) are thawed and transferred shortly after.
Our centers adhere to the highest standards for embryology, egg donor programs, and IVF cycles. You are in good hands with Ivy Fertility.

Donor eggs—answered
Here are some of the most common questions we receive about egg donor options:
-
“Many of our centers have egg donor programs. At our center, donors undergo extensive screening before being accepted to our program. There’s a detailed application, in-person interview, thorough review of medical history, a physical exam, tests for infectious diseases, psychological assessment, and genetic counseling and screening for inheritable diseases. Patients can rest easy knowing we will oversee this process in order to provide extra assurance that you're receiving the highest-quality eggs from your selected donor.”
- Susanna J. Park, MD of San Diego Fertility Center
-
“An egg donor can be known. The definition of known can vary, this can be a person who has chosen to donate her eggs and willing to become known to the intended parent and future offspring with specifics defined by the parties as part of the legal contract process. You can also elect to receive eggs from a relative or friend. Significantly important in making the donor selection is the evaluation of the egg quality of the donor. We will help assure your donor has been thoroughly evaluated.”
- Marc Kalan, MD, FACOG of Los Angeles Reproductive Center

"The egg donor process begins with you meeting with one of the physicans. We will address all of your questions and provide guidance to the process. Initial screening of the sperm provider and carrier uterus will also be completed. We will guide you through the selection of an egg donor, or frozen donor eggs. Next the donor will be coordinated to start the egg collection process, or frozen donor eggs will be secured. Embryos will be created from the donated eggs and sperm. Those embryos will be frozen. Once you are ready to have the embryos implanted in your uterus or the uterus of a gestational carrier, that process will be scheduled. Once the embryo is transferred, it will take about 11-16 days to determine if the embryo implanted.”
- Nurit Winkler, MD of Los Angeles Reproductive Center

“Donor eggs can allow our patients to overcome medical fertility challenges, including advanced maternal age, issues with egg quality, and even avoiding potential known inherited genetic disorders. It’s also an excellent option for same-sex couples or single males seeking to become parents through donor egg and/or gestational surrogacy.”
- Russell Foulk, MD, HCLD, FACOG of Nevada Fertility Center, Nevada Center for Reproductive Medicine, and Utah Fertility Center
