If you are looking for an egg donor, you are in the right place.

After selecting the egg donor using our egg donor search, you will be able to have IVF treatment with her eggs in a clinic which has accepted the donor and added her to our database. However, if you use the form above, our consultants can help you find an egg donor whose oocytes can be transported and used at other clinic of your choice.

The search tool is used by thousands of Patients from around the globe. Unless you arrange the details of your IVF with donor eggs program through the Clinic, you cannot be certain that your selected egg donor will be available. After your selection, the fertility Clinic will reserve the donor and will contact her to confirm.

In such a case the Clinic will contact you and suggest a similar egg donor.

Our database provides height, weight, race, education, blood group, eye and hair colour and hair structure. When reserving an egg donor, you will receive additional information about the donor. The data is stored in various ivf clinics due to variations in legal requirements in different countries.

Theoretically yes. However, in most countries that offer egg donation programs, a full or partial donor-recipient phenotype compatibility is required. This means that in order to have IVF program, the basic characteristics of the donor and recipient need to be very similar, for example ethnicity, eye/hair colour and height. Such practice is recommended by international medical associations like ESHRE. The idea is that the baby’s appearance would not differ much from the looks of at least one parent.

If you are searching for an egg donor with a rare phenotype, our consultants can refer you to egg banks which may have such donor. There are some phenotypes which are quite rare, for example blonde hair,185 cm/6 foot tall and a specific body type

Depending on the egg bank the cost of oocytes from the donor varies. European egg banks offer oocytes from EUR350 per egg. You will need, on average, minimum 6 – 8 oocytes. In the USA, where the access to egg donors is open – there are many donors available, the prices are higher and range from $8,000 to even $20,000 for 6-12 oocytes.

Yes. The cost for oocyte shipping can be quite high, even EUR1,000 or more. Oocytes are genetic material and they have to be transported in a special container. There are IVF courier companies that deal with egg shipping and their services are usually expensive. From the financial point of view it pays off more to have egg donation program in a clinic that is located near the egg bank

It is rarely practised but it is possible. There are agencies that can help you find such donor. This is a very expensive option as the patient needs to pay a fee to the agency. This, in most cases, includes the egg donor compensation, her air travel cost. Than you need to cover qualification tests, visits, stimulation process and medicines and egg retrieval cost. Remember, before you make a decision, find out if you are allowed to use a donor from abroad in your home country.

It depends on an egg bank and the country where the bank is located. Spanish clinics and egg banks reveal only basic information, while in Cyprus, Greece, Ukraine or Russia you can learn much more about donors including their photos, the number of children, etc. The egg banks in the USA offer even more information: photos, donor’s characteristics, sometimes a recording of her voice, handwriting sample, etc.

Unfortunately there isn’t one. Every egg bank has their own regulations and terms of operation. Some of the banks provide access to their donor database and some do not. Instead, some banks deal with every donor inquiry separately. Some egg banks offer a possibility of booking and purchasing oocytes via their website. However, there is no central egg donor database.

Unfortunately the size of the bank does not determine the quality of oocytes and does not guarantee that you will find a donor you are looking for. Some banks specialize in some types of donors. For instance, in Eastern European egg banks you may have difficulties finding donors of African ethnicity. The banks in the USA and Spain offer the biggest choice, however, their services can be very costly. Oocytes in the USA are considerably more expensive than in Europe.

For those of you who wish to donate your eggs (either to an egg bank or directly to a couple in need) we are going to create a special egg donor database. This online database will soon be available on our website. You will be able to create a donor profile which will visible to thousands of couples in need and participating IVF clinics. Once the tool is up and running we will inform about it on our social media channels. Stay tuned.

In the meantime, if you want to start donating your eggs sooner, browse the clinics or egg banks in your area.
