Many couples who have tried to conceive but find themselves struggling to have a baby (and who have possibly exhausted most traditional conception methods) look into fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or egg donation. However, the cost of these treatments may be a bit daunting to couples looking to start a family. At Reproductive Fertility Center, we offer shared (or split) egg donation cycles to help patients save money while still allowing them to use “fresh” eggs, rather than purchasing frozen eggs. Shared egg donation cycles involve two sets of intended parents (unknown to each other) sharing the eggs retrieved from a single donor.

What are the Benefits of Shared Egg Donation Cycles?

Patients may feel they are unable to afford certain expenses that come with a standard egg donation cycle. These include donor screening, medications, the donor egg retrieval procedure, and compensation for the donor. With a shared donation egg cycle, both recipients can save on expenses by sharing/splitting these costs. Shared egg donation is safe and can provide couples or single women an opportunity to start a family of their own without having to worry about spending a significant amount of money.

How does the Shared Egg Donation Cycle Work?

  1. Connecting with Egg Donors: At Reproductive Fertility Center, we work with the most qualified egg donors and seek healthy, educated, physically fit young women to donate eggs to those who wish to become pregnant.
  2. Connecting with Recipients: During a shared egg donation cycle, the recipients (or patients) will be referred to as the “primary” and “secondary” recipient to determine how the eggs will be split between each woman.
  3. Starting "the cycle" : Treatment is similar to that of a standard egg donation cycle, and the resulting eggs will be divided amongst the primary and secondary recipients. If the donor produces an odd number of eggs, the extra egg will be given to the primary recipient. If only a few eggs are produced, then the primary recipient will receive all the eggs and may have to take on the full cost of the cycle. Because there will be two recipients involved in this treatment, starting a cycle may take a bit longer due to the need to secure a second recipient and coordinate cycles
