The Benefits of using Frozen Donor Eggs

  • There is no waiting period because eggs are frozen and ready for immediate selection. This means that recipients can start immediately with their next menstrual cycle. There is no synchronization required.
  • All egg bank eggs come from high-quality, fully-screened donors who have already completed their donation. This means that risks like donors failing their screening, medication being faulty or not administered correctly, or insufficient eggs being produced are no longer concerns.
  • Frozen donor egg cycles are usually more cost-effective, as intended parents can purchase only the number of eggs they require rather than have excess donor eggs that are never used.
