The donation process

At Chosen Egg Bank, we understand that the process of becoming a parent can be filled with challenges — but at the same time — is one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have. That’s why we work tirelessly to empower our clients with the information they need to make the right decision for their families, and their future.

In order to help you, we’ve created a detailed, step-by-step overview of the entire egg donation process, so you can get a realistic idea of what you can expect, when you work with Chosen Egg Bank.

We invite you to explore the process, and if you have any remaining questions, you can always reach out to our team. We’d be happy to help answer your questions, resolve any confusion, and give you the utmost confidence in your decision.

How does the egg donation process work?

Our step-by-step guide to the egg donation process

Step 1

Choosing your fertility center

We have partnered with clinics that employ the most advanced vitrification technology and have extensive experience in egg freezing. You can choose to work with this clinic and lab throughout the entire process, from egg collection to embryo transfer. You also have the option to work with a different fertility center or clinic of your choice. If you choose an alternate clinic, our embryology team will work with your clinic to provide all the necessary information and equipment to receive the eggs. We will also be in contact with your third-party reproductive coordinator to make sure they have received the eggs before your scheduled embryo transfer cycle.

Step 2

Selecting a donor

Our Egg Bank program gives you access to a large selection of frozen eggs and is an excellent alternative both in price and procedure to a full cycle with a donor. This program allows intended parents the ability to start as soon as they are ready and not have to go through the planning and hurdles of a full cycle. If you know that you want to use frozen eggs, filtering your search by this preference will narrow your selection to donors who have readily available frozen eggs with us. We are consistently expanding and adding new donors every week, and we are happy to contact you when new frozen egg donors are available that we think will align with your preferences for ethnicity, physical attributes, educational accomplishments, athletic abilities, and so much more.

We are the only egg bank that requires our donors to provide 30 photos and a video displayed on their profiles (including baby, childhood, teenage, and current photos of themselves, and, upon request, photos with family). This grants you the same opportunity to get an in-depth look into the donors partaking in our egg bank program as you would for a traditional full cycle — you deserve that.

By partnering with top clinicians, we ensure that our donors receive a comprehensive health evaluation. We make sure that each donor undergoes a full genetic screening, physical examination, psychological evaluation, and reproductive health testing. You can also find information about a donor’s family to provide transparency for any risk of inheritable or non-inheritable conditions.

How to use our donor database

Step 3

Shipping your frozen eggs

We recommend taking at least 8 frozen eggs in order to optimize your results and maintain a safe process in getting 1, or even 2, babies. If you have opted to work with a fertility clinic of your choice and we have received your payment and necessary documents, we will begin coordinating shipping. We will ensure that your fertility clinic’s lab has everything it needs to receive the shipment of frozen eggs. It is also important to note that we can ship your frozen eggs to a clinic located anywhere around the world.

Step 4

Cycling

Your reproductive endocrinologist will work with you to ensure that all appropriate screening and diagnostic testing has been completed before your embryo transfer cycle starts. We will ensure the safe transfer of the selected frozen eggs or embryos (if you selected fresh eggs) so they are ready for the next steps in your fertility journey.​

Step 5

Pregnancy

We anticipate a pregnancy, wishfully, on the first try!

What makes us different?

We aim to make the donation process more personal and meaningful than ever before. That is why the Chosen Egg Bank database contains a vast quantity of diverse donor profiles, each filled with over 30 photos spanning the donor’s life, plus an introductory video. Everything we do is to give you the insight and support you deserve while helping ensure you pick the perfect donor for your family. Many babies have been born from the sourcing of our egg bank. This is thanks to our unique technology during egg freezing and the meticulous expertise of the head of our laboratory. We take pride in having an outstanding success rate and our role in helping create new lives for loving families.
