Using Donor Eggs

Building Your Family With Donor Eggs

You have many options in choosing your path to parenthood. NRM's donor egg IVF program offers a personalized, successful way to build a family for those who don't have eggs, or who face challenges with diminished egg reserve.

What is Donor Egg IVF?

Donor Egg IVF is a fertility treatment which uses donated eggs (oocytes), which are fertilized with sperm to create embryos. One embryo is transferred into a uterus. Success with a single embryo transfer ranges from 50-65% per transfer. Often you will create more than one embryo with one cycle of donor egg IVF; in this case, extra embryos not transferred will be kept frozen (vitrified) for future chances of success.

Is the Process Safe?

To promote the safety, well-being, and best interest of you, your baby, and the egg donor, NRM follows all the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirements and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) recommended guidelines.

NRM's Established, Successful Fresh Donor Program

NRM’s high standard and decades-long experience working with Vermont donors has led our program to excel at the highest level. Fresh eggs are less vulnerable and therefore more successful than frozen eggs. In addition, with a fresh egg donor, you will receive the entire cohort of eggs (frozen egg banks split cycles into "cohorts") and thus you get more eggs for a similar cost.

Who are NRM’s Egg Donors?

  • Vermont’s vibrant population of local undergraduate and graduate students, and individuals with a friend or relative struggling with fertility often choose to donate eggs at NRM.

  • Our local educated and diverse population creates a pool of genuine, bright, and open-minded donors.

  • Donors are thoroughly screened following all ASRM and FDA guidelines. NRM sets high standards for fertility, genetic, and psychological, medical and infectious disease evaluations.

Occasionally, individuals or a couple will have a known egg donor they wish to utilize. That donor will be screened by NRM’s fertility doctors to determine if this donor offers you the best chances at conception.
