Donor egg treatment is defined as an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle in which a person with female reproductive organs uses another person’s eggs (the donor) rather than their own.

Known Donor (or Open Donation)
An open donation may occur if you have a friend, a sister, or another relative who is willing and able to help you start your family. It is very important that all parties have discussed their long-term expectations of the relationship. Our staff psychologist will guide you through this part of your journey.
All involved will usually have agreed to share pertinent information including full names, addresses and occupations. Many times, the intended parents and donor will meet in person (or talk on the phone) and get to know each other before moving forward. There are several important steps for screening your donor.
