IVF with donor eggs with NOW-fertility

IVF with donor eggs is a well-established, regulated fertility treatment for patients who are unable to use their own eggs. Instead, treatment involves the use of either fresh or frozen donor eggs as part of an IVF cycle. At NOW-fertility we offer treatment through trusted egg donation programmes at clinics within our network providing frozen as well as fresh eggs available immediately, meaning you can start your treatment without any delay.

Personalised care for the best chance of success

IVF with donor eggs is used for:

  • You’ll first of all have a consultation with your consultant, followed by a consultation with your nurse to complete your characteristics profile form, screening tests and consent forms so that you can start treatment.
  • Your NOW-fertility team will match a donor for you through our affiliated egg bank or through an egg donation programme at your chosen clinic.
  • We’ll also arrange for you a consultation with one of our qualified and certified counsellors who will help you to better understand the broader implications of treatment with donor eggs and to make informed decisions.
  • Once a donor is chosen and agreed upon, you’ll have another consultation with your consultant to discuss your personal treatment plan.
  • Hormone tablets need to be taken for 15 – 20 days before transfer to prepare your womb for embryo implantation. During this time you will be monitored by ultrasound scan and blood tests, which we will arrange for you close to where you live or work.
  • When you attend your chosen clinic, the donor eggs are fertilised in the laboratory either with sperm from your male partner, or from a sperm donor. Fertilised eggs are usually cultured as embryos for five to six days until they reach the blastocyst stage.
  • Created embryos will either be transferred in a fresh embryo cycle or frozen to be used later in a frozen thawed embryo transfer cycle.
