Your egg donation pathway at the London Egg Bank will begin with a consultation with one of our fertility doctors. During your consultation a doctor will review your medical history and your previous treatments/investigations (if applicable).
Following (or sometimes before) your consultation, you can expect to have a pelvic ultrasound scan to check your womb and exclude pathology. If you are having treatment using your partner’s sperm, then a recent semen analysis test will be needed to confirm its quality.
You will also meet with our dedicated Matching Coordinator to discuss the programme and any tests which you will be required to undertake. Your coordinator will also introduce you to our online database of donors and personalised matching service.
In addition, we ask all patients considering egg donation treatment to see our independent counsellor. This will help you to understand the broader implications of conceiving with donor eggs and to make a fully informed decision.
Our donors undergo rigorous selection to ensure the quality of the eggs provided. This is reflected in our outstanding track record and excellent results. With 96% egg survival rate and above 60% cumulative pregnancy rates per egg donation cycle, our results are amongst the best in the world. The >60% rate applies when all embryos from a donation cycle have been transferred.
We are specialists in frozen donor eggs, providing the largest selection of frozen donors in the UK.
Following a consultation with one of our doctors you will have 24/7 access to our online database of more than 100 donors. You don’t need to wait as we have frozen eggs available for all donor profiles published on our site.
If you need any help with your search, we have a dedicated matching team who can assist you. Please note that we upload new donors to the catalogue every week.
In order to use eggs from the London Egg Bank, you must be having a treatment with us or our fertility partner - the London Women’s Clinic. However, after creating your embryos in our laboratories you can move them to any licensed clinic and continue your treatment there.
Please let us know if you would like to arrange a consultation with our fertility specialist to start the process.
If you wish to use donor eggs, you must have completed treatment and given birth by your 55th birthday. You may need a letter of support from your GP.
If you are over 50, we ask you to complete a health assessment with a consultant obstetrician to ensure a safe pregnancy plan. Additional checks like an ECG, mammogram, and thyroid and diabetes tests may be required.
As specified by the HFEA, we can provide unidentifiable information, this includes: colour of eyes/hair, texture of hair, weight, height, nationality, skin complexion, basic medical history, occupation and education.
We can also tell you the donor’s age and whether she has proven fertility. However, we cannot provide a photo or demographic details about the donor.
Egg donors are entitled to a maximum of £750 per donation to cover their expenses as per HFEA regulations.
As part of London Women's Clinic, we are regulated by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). We hold a licence to practice and are inspected regularly to ensure we provide our patients with high-quality care and comply with the required legislation. You can be assured that you’re in safe hands.
