WHY LONDON EGG BANK?

We're the UK’s first and largest frozen egg bank, with over 30 years' experience in donor egg IVF. There are many benefits for your patients in joining us:

Wide range of UK recruited donors

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 patients' cycles with the donor’s cycle, so patient can start treatment as soon as they wish. Browse our donor database

Online 24/7 Donor Database

Patients can choose a donor from the comfort of their home 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

High Success Rates

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. See our success rates.

Personalised Care

We offer personalised and flexible solutions for your patients

They will be assigned a personal treatment coordinator, who will organise their treatment and help them each step of the way with egg donation in London.

Secured UK Legislation

The HFEA set standards for quality and safety, providing security for your patients

The HFEA is one of the best regulatory frameworks in the world, providing patients with transparent success rates and pricing, and high-quality care. A maximum 10 families can be created from a single donor. Some other countries do not have any limits.

Identity-Release Donations

Many patients are seeking identity-release (non-anonymous) donations, which are not widely available in clinics abroad

Any donor-conceived child in the UK can receive 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.

Age Limit of 55

The age limit for donor egg IVF is 54 years and 3 months.

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

HOW TO PARTNER WITH US

There are two options

1 Refer your patients to us for treatment

Our team will book a consultation with one of our fertility consultants for a referred patient. We will review patient’s medical history, along with any treatment or investigations they’ve already had elsewhere, and recommend the best course of treatment for them. They can expect to have a scan and some blood tests, and an analysis of a semen sample if a male partner is involved (unless this has been already done).
Our dedicated egg donation coordinator will meet with them to discuss the programme and introduce them to our online donor database and personalised matching service. We ask all patients who are considering conceiving with donor eggs to see an independent counsellor to explore all implications.
Once a donor is chosen and agreed upon, they’ll see one of our nurses, they’ll complete their screening tests and consents so that they can start treatment.
Donor eggs are fertilised in the lab with sperm from your male partner or sperm donor. Fertilised eggs are usually cultured as embryos for five to six days until they reach the blastocyst stage. Fertilised eggs are assessed for suitability and timing of embryo transfer, and some embryos may be frozen for transfer in a later cycle. Most women only have one embryo transferred to avoid the risks of multiple pregnancies. Remaining embryos can be frozen and stored for future use if another cycle is needed or for sibling pregnancy.

2 We create embryos for transfer to your patient in your own clinic

Our friendly team will book a consultation with one of our fertility consultants for a referred patient. We will review patients’ medical history, our success rates, broader implications and recommend the best course of treatment for them. If a male partner is involved, he will have some blood tests and we will perform a semen analysis (unless this has been already done), and freeze samples for future use if needed.
Our dedicated egg donation coordinator will meet with them to discuss the programme and introduce them to our online donor database and personalised matching service.
Once a donor is chosen and agreed upon, they’ll complete their consents so that they can start treatment.
Donor eggs will be fertilised with sperm from male partner or sperm donor. We will culture embryos until they reach the blastocyst stage at day five or six. Suitable embryos will be frozen and later transported to the patients’ clinic. Patients will be updated by our senior embryologist on the progress of their embryos and progress of arranging embryo shipment to their clinic.

What our patients say

Who are our donors?

Our egg donors are recruited from within the UK, and they have all donated eggs after passing our rigorous screening process in line with HFEA standards

Donor Screening

Our screening process ensures that they meet the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) requirements. Our donors must also pass extensive medical, genetic and psychological assessments.

We treat all our donors as individuals and offer a high level of care in recognition of their remarkable kindness. But if we look collectively at the wonderful group of women who have donated eggs to our database, we can tell you some of their common characteristics.

Donor Statistics

79% of our donors are educated to degree level or above, come from a wide range of backgrounds and ethnicities. Their main motivation for donating their eggs is a wish to help others, for a variety of different reasons.
