Italian Egg Donors
Explore Italian heritage egg donor profiles across our Fresh Matching Program and Frozen Egg Bank. Trusted since 2012, with over 2,000 babies born through our programs.
Find an Italian egg donor
Donor Nexus works with egg donors of Italian heritage through both our fresh and frozen egg donation programs. Italian donors are listed under White / Caucasian in our egg donor database, and the Heritage filter lets you narrow your search to donors whose maternal or paternal background is Italian or Sicilian. Each detailed donor profile lists her heritage on both sides, languages spoken, education, and whether she offers non-identified, identified, or Open ID donation. Registration is free and takes a few minutes.
Get an email when a new Italian donor joins
New Italian donors join the egg donor database as they finish screening, so the right match can appear at any time. A saved search keeps watch for you, so you don't have to log in every day to check.
1. Open the egg donor database, click More filters and type ital in the Heritage search box. Check each Italian option that appears, such as Italian, Italy and Portuguese Italian, then add anything else that matters to you.
2. Click Save this search at the top right and give it a name.
3. We email you when a new donor matching your search is added, so you can review her profile right away.
Saved searches work in both the egg donor database and the embryo bank.
How to find Italian egg donors in the database
Every donor profile records her maternal and paternal heritage, and donors describe it in their own words, so the same background can show up under more than one label. To see every Italian donor, open More filters in the egg donor database, type ital in the Heritage box, and check each option that appears, such as Italian, Italy and Portuguese Italian. That way you won't miss a donor whose profile reads Italy instead of Italian. Many donors list more than one heritage, so a donor who is half Italian and half Irish will appear in both searches.
How does matching with an Italian donor work?
Fresh Matching Program
In a fresh cycle you are matched one-to-one with a donor, she travels to your IVF clinic for monitoring and retrieval, and you receive every viable egg from that retrieval. Donor Nexus fresh cycles average 28.9 eggs retrieved and 22.6 mature eggs. Many families choose fresh when they hope to create enough embryos for a future sibling. A fresh cycle usually takes four to six months from match to retrieval, with most of that time spent on donor screening.
Frozen Egg Bank
Frozen Italian donor eggs are available in cohorts of six and can be shipped to your clinic in the United States or abroad. Eggs are retrieved, vitrified, and stored at a single Southern California site and shipped once, directly to your clinic. Frozen eggs usually reach your clinic within four to six weeks of paperwork and payment, and each cohort comes with the blastocyst guarantee described on the Frozen Egg Bank page.
Where are our Italian egg donors located?
Donors of Italian heritage in our program live in different parts of the United States and abroad, and the location is shown on each profile. The donor's location doesn't limit your options. Fresh donors travel to your clinic wherever they live, with travel and logistics arranged by our team and included in the program fee, and frozen eggs ship directly to clinics worldwide.

Frozen donor eggs can be shipped to fertility clinics throughout the United States.
