Option A: Complete Egg Donor Cycle.
This choice ensures that you receive up to 25 eggs from your chosen donor. This maximizes your likelihood of success and increases your chance of achieving subsequent pregnancies using frozen embryos which are most likely to result from this option.
Option B: Shared Egg Donor Cycle
This option involves sharing eggs from your donor with other parents. This shared cycle usually results in your receiving up to ten of the eggs which she produces. This option reduces donor-related costs but is less likely to result in "extra" embryos for future use.
Option C: Frozen Eggs
Sometimes we freeze or cryopreserve eggs which have been previously harvested at Connecticut Fertility Associates, 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.

Option D: Embryo Adoption
Occasionally when some people are finished with their family building and do not wish to discard their "extra" embryos, they choose to donate their extra embryos to CFA to give to others.
We will discuss with you in detail the pros and cons of each of these options once you begin your journey with us, and help you to decide which option best meets your needs and goals.
