Traveling to the UK for Egg Donation

Our donors have been recruited in our UK centres and come from various backgrounds.

Their donated eggs have been cryopreserved, placed in storage and are available for immediate use. This means you don't have to synchronise your cycle with the donor’s cycle, so you can start treatment as soon as you wish. Browse our donor database

There is legislation within the UK which sets standards for quality and safety for all licensed fertility clinics

in the UK and donor banks regulated by a government body; the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). It's one of the best regulatory frameworks in the world, providing patients with transparent and high-quality care. We hold a license to practice which requires us to follow all HFEA legislation.

You can choose a donor from the comfort of your own home by yourself using the non-identifiable information provided on

our online database. We provide information about their physical characteristics, medical history and also about their personality and interests. Browse our donor database

In the UK, up to 10 families can be created from a single donor. However, it is very rare for an egg donor

in the UK to reach this number. Some other countries do not have any limits. If your child was conceived through a licensed fertility clinic in the UK, they can find information about their donor-conceived siblings from the age of 16 or above by contacting the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). 

The donor remains anonymous to you at the time of donation. Non-anonymity means that any child born

because of egg donation can require identifying information about their donor after they turn 18. The HFEA national donor register holds the information about all egg donors in the UK and will provide it even in cases where the treatment clinic is no longer operating by that time.

We offer personalised and flexible solutions for international patients, including a multilingual team and customised

treatment plans for your circumstances. You will be assigned a personal treatment coordinator, who will organise your treatment and help you each step of the way with egg donation in London. Our team of nurses, coordinators and doctors speak multiple languages.

We have a dedicated programme for egg donation in London to help patients from all around the world

and different parts of the UK to create their families. We understand the challenges of travelling abroad for fertility treatment including IVF cost in the UK and have developed a dedicated programme for international patients looking for donor egg IVF in the UK. We offer tailored solutions for your particular circumstances and try to make your journey to parenthood as smooth as possible.

You can prepare for your treatment in your home country and travel to London only for your embryo transfer.

We can provide you with different treatment options to minimise travelling time and fit your needs. Your consultations will be arranged online by your treatment coordinator.

We have one of the highest numbers of egg freezing and thawing cycles with donor eggs in the UK.

As a dedicated egg bank, we manage the whole egg donation process to ensure the highest quality of eggs. As a result, our success rates are among the best on record, with over 90% egg survival rate after freezing and above 70% cumulative pregnancy rates per cycle. Our results demonstrate that our focused approach really works. See our success rates.

The age limit for donor egg IVF in the UK is 54 years and 3 months so that you give birth by your 55th birthday.

In many other countries, fertility treatment with donor eggs cannot be offered after the age of 50. London Egg Bank has extensive experience in successful fertility treatment for patients over 50 years of age. See our experts
