Donor Egg Packages from ARC Members
What is Egg Donation?
Egg donation is the process by which a woman provides one or several eggs (ova,
oocytes) for purposes of assisted reproduction or biomedical research.
What is the Egg Donation process?
The fertility egg donation process involves retrieving eggs from a woman who
has normally functioning ovaries. Following egg retrieval, the eggs are fertilized
in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) lab using sperm from the receiving couple's
partner. Following IVF, the resulting embryos are transferred to the uterus of
the woman who wishes to carry the baby. If a pregnancy is established, the receiving
woman becomes the gestational mother carrying the developing baby through the
full term of the pregnancy and childbirth - with all the joys of experience that
this affords.
With egg donation as an infertility treatment, hundreds of couples have become
parents with assistance. A couple may choose to know the identity of the woman
donating the eggs, and vice versa, or the parties may choose anonymity.
What is Donor Egg Package?
Typically a Donor Egg Package offers the patient the opportunity to use donated
eggs during a cycle of in-vitro fertilization. When the decision to use an egg
donor is made before the purchase of an IVF Treatment Package, the cost of the
clinical package is determined using the age of the donor, the combined clinical
factors of the donor and the recipient and the costs of the IVF program you have
chosen.*
