Donor Nexus’ frozen donor egg bank is located in California with options for shipping frozen eggs throughout the USA, Canada, Australia, and Hong Kong. Using frozen donor eggs is an excellent option for many patients, providing a very high probability for pregnancy at an affordable price. Using frozen donor eggs is a somewhat simpler process than alternative options, such as using fresh donor eggs. The main benefits of using frozen donor eggs are convenience, timing, and cost.

Frozen Donor Egg Cycle Overview

Since there is no need to synchronize cycles with a donor, the frozen egg transfer can be done at a time that is most convenient for the intended parents. This means there is less time spent waiting and the cycle can begin almost immediately. Typically a fresh egg cycle takes 2 to 4 months whereas a frozen egg cycle only takes 6 to 8 weeks. Additionally, frozen donor eggs are available instantly and can typically be sent to the intended parent(s) chosen fertility clinic if requested.

All of the frozen eggs in the Donor Nexus Egg Bank are from proven, positive donors. The eggs are ‘frozen’ using the most advanced method currently available: vitrification. After you choose your frozen egg donor, we will thaw until we have at least six viable eggs. The number of donor eggs thawed are dependent on the number of donor eggs available and the number of eggs you request. Next, the thawed donor eggs are fertilized by ICSI with the designated sperm to create embryos. The embryos are grown in our laboratory to maturity and then transferred into the prospective mother or designated gestational carrier. Surplus embryos can be frozen for future use. Intended Parents are guaranteed 1 blastocyst embryo per cohort of eggs. In the rare circumstance that a couple receives less than six viable eggs or has fewer than one embryo available for transfer, they may receive a full or partial refund if pregnancy does not occur.

How Does Frozen Egg Donation Work?

Although most eggs are used within months or years of being frozen, they are viable for decades at this temperature. The vitrification process is carried out by the experienced team of physicians at HRC Fertility in Newport Beach, California. The laboratory team in Newport Beach has been working with the vitrification process since its introduction into the fertility laboratory and is among the most experienced teams in the world. Their superior expertise and experience with this technique allows Donor Nexus to confidently offer frozen donor eggs to our patients with excellent results.
