Click here to read more about CT Fertility’s unique options for egg donor matching, including our minimum egg guarantee, emphasis on known non-anonymous donations, and availability of risk sharing, package and money-back plans. To learn more about these options, e-mail our Donor Coordinator or request a complementary introductory consultation or appointment with Dr. Doyle so that we can discuss with you in detail the pros and cons of each of these options and help you to decide which option best meets your needs and goals.
Comprehensive (Unshared) Egg Donor Cycle
This choice ensures that you receive AT LEAST 20 EGGS (guaranteed) and up to 25 eggs from your chosen donor. This maximizes your likelihood of success and increases your chance of achieving twins, as well as subsequent pregnancies using frozen embryos that are the most likely to result from this option. This option is also ideal for same-sex couples who intent to share eggs between two biological dads. Option A can also be obtained with a money-back guarantee option.
Shared Egg Donor Cycle
This option involves sharing eggs from your donor with other parents. It ensures that you receive 12 of the eggs that your donor produces. This option reduces donor-related costs but is less likely to result in "extra" embryos for future use. It is the preferred choice for people who want to have one baby one time, but are not prioritizing twins or siblings.
Frozen Eggs from our Egg Donor Bank
Sometimes we freeze or cryopreserve unfertilized eggs that have been previously harvested at CT Fertility, and then store them for future use. These eggs are available for use any time and do not require the synchronization that is always necessary when a donor and a carrier are going through the process in parallel. They are usually provided in groups of 10 but additional eggs can be purchased. To learn more about our Egg Donor Bank, click here.
Multiple Cycle “Package” Options
CT Fertility also offers packages that enable you to undergo up to four embryo transfers using as many fresh cycles as you need to, at no additional cost. These plans are appealing to parents who want to be able to plan ahead for the “worst-case” scenario in which success is not obtained on the first or second attempt.
Embryo Donation
Sometimes when people have completed their family building journeys they do not wish to discard their remaining "extra" embryos, and instead choose to donate them to others.
CT Fertility’s Embryo Donation program enables us to offer these extra embryos to others who are looking to complete their own family-building journeys without incurring all the costs related to traditional egg donation. Like adoptions, such donations can be either closed (anonymous) or open (identified).
