Fresh or frozen eggs?

We follow the same principles and rules in our Individual Donor Programme, no matter which eggs you prefer to use: fresh or frozen

  • You can choose your donor yourself from a large detailed database with photos
  • You can ask us to match a donor to you according to your looks and priorities
  • No waiting time for a donor
  • One donor per one recipient (no egg sharing!)
  • 10 egg guarantee! (there are no fewer than 10 eggs per cycle available for a recipient)
  • Our egg donors are healthy educated fertile women under 30 with at least one child of their own

 

The pregnancy rates per transfer of fresh embryos on day 5 are the same, no matter if these fresh embryos originate from fresh or frozen eggs (62% vs 63% in 2012).
We have summarized the results with fresh and frozen donor eggs in the table below.

Individual egg donation Programme with frozen eggs from your individually matched or chosen egg donor is the best option for you:

  • if you plan only one child and do not plan freezing surplus embryos for creating a brother or a sister later
  • if you would like to use the minimal amount of medication or do the embryo transfer in your natural cycle without synchronization with a donor
  • if you would like to come over weekend and make your stay in St. Petersburg as short as possible (only one day required)
  • if you do not want to waste time for applying for Russian visa
  • if you look for the most friendly budget of the treatment

Individual egg donation Programme with fresh eggs from your individually matched or chosen donor is the best option for you:

  • if you prefer to receive the maximal amount of eggs for your procedure without wasting 20% of them during freezing-thawing procedure
  • if you plan more than one child and would like to freeze surplus embryos for creating a brother or a sister later (the same donor might be not available 2-3 years later)
  • if you would like to have the maximal cumulative pregnancy rates per one donor stimulation/egg collection (cumulative pregnancy rate from all fresh and frozen embryo transfers from one donor stimulation/egg collection)

The choice of Individual egg donation Programme with fresh or frozen eggs may depend also on your medical situation (previous history, sperm quality, uterus status etc.). If you think of using frozen donor eggs for your fertility treatment, please request a phone consultation with our doctor to evaluate your prognosis and choose the right treatment option.
