There are many reasons why women use donor eggs to have a baby. It may be the best option for women with premature menopause or pre-menopausal ovarian failure, poor egg quality, where there is a high risk of passing on a serious genetic disease or fertility that has been affected by surgery or medical treatment. We have a dedicated Egg Donation team who are there to support you every step of the way.
About our egg donors
We have our own egg donation programme at BCRM. The women who donate are healthy, aged between 18-33 and undergo thorough screening and counselling. All of our egg donors are HFEA registered. Are you interested in becoming an egg donor?
Meet the team
The first step is to talk to our dedicated egg donation team who are there to support you every step of the way.
Consultation
We will talk to you about your medical history, do some blood tests and perform a scan. We will also discuss with you the treatment you will have so that you understand the next steps.
Counselling
Our dedicated counsellors will discuss with you the implications of using a donor egg, so you can be confident in your decision. This is an excellent time for you to ask all the questions you may have.
Ready for treatment
The donor eggs will be fertilised with your partner’s or donor sperm and will then be frozen. We will monitor you by using ultrasound scans to find the best time to place the embryo in your womb.
Embryo transfer
The embryo will be thawed on the day of your transfer and will be at the blastocyst stage to give you the best chance of success.
