Many families around the world pursue egg donation on their path to parenthood. While we don’t have the exact number, the group continues to grow.

But navigating the process of donor egg IVF can be daunting, especially across international borders. From understanding the legal process to finding the right donor, there's a lot to consider. No matter where you live, if you're looking to match with an egg donor in the United States, this guide will help you understand the benefits, process, and how Cofertility can support you on your journey.

Why do families want American egg donors?

We work with families around the world. They choose to work with us for many reasons, including: 

  • Legal & ethical framework: Egg donation in the U.S. has a well-established legal and ethical framework. This ensures the protection of all parties involved and provides clear guidelines for the process, giving you added peace of mind.
  • Accessibility and transparency: When you work with a reputable egg donation company like Cofertility, you're accessing a pool of carefully screened and medically qualified individuals right here in the United States. This helps your avoid the complexities and potential uncertainties that can sometimes come with international egg donation. We offer all intended parents we work with the opportunity to meet  with the egg donor if desired, creating a more personal connection.
  • Shared values & culture: Finding a donor who shares your cultural background, language, and values can be incredibly important for many intended parents. It can foster a sense of familiarity and create a stronger bond between the donor and the intended family.
  • Choice: We have hundreds of qualified egg donors available to match with at any time. And the diversity of the women we work with gives families unparalleled options. 
  • Streamlined process: We work with fertility clinics nationwide and can assist you in finding the right one or coordinating th shipment of eggs to your chosen clinic. Our team supports you along the entire process from legal to medical to financial. When working with Cofertility, there are fewer logistical hurdles to navigate, and the timeline can often be shorter.

Egg sharing with an American egg donor

At Cofertility, we believe in a more accessible and empowering approach to egg donation. Our unique egg sharing model makes it more beneficial for both donors and intended parents. What makes our model unique?

  • Empowering donors: Our donors have the opportunity to freeze their own eggs for free when they generously donate half of the eggs retrieved to another family. This allows them to preserve their own fertility while simultaneously helping others achieve their dreams of parenthood. It's a win-win situation that fosters a spirit of generosity and shared purpose.
  • Transparent pricing: Traditional egg donation can be expensive, but we've changed that. With transparent pricing, you know exactly what to expect from the start, without any hidden fees or surprises. Plus, we offer an industry-leading Baby Guarantee. 
  • Both fresh and frozen eggs: If you work with Cofertility, you can match with a donor in our fresh or frozen egg donation programs. Pick the program that works best for your family-planning, or just focus on finding the best egg donor match. 
  • Inclusivity & diversity: We celebrate diversity and welcome intended parents and donors from all walks of life. Our extensive database includes donors with various ethnicities, backgrounds, and interests, ensuring that you find a match that reflects your values and aspirations for your future family.
  • Personalized support: We understand that this journey can be both exciting and challenging. Our compassionate and experienced team is dedicated to providing you with personalized guidance and support every step of the way. We'll be there for you from your initial consultation to matching, legal agreements, medical coordination, and beyond.

How egg donation with Cofertilty works

At Cofertility, we strive to make the process of finding your ideal egg donor match as seamless and supportive as possible. Here's a glimpse into what your journey would look like:

  1. Explore our donor database: Create an account to access our user-friendly online database of qualified egg donors. This is your gateway to a diverse selection of American egg donors. You can explore detailed profiles featuring photos, personal essays, medical histories, and more. Utilize our advanced search and filtering options to discover potential matches that align with your preferences and priorities.
  2. Schedule a consultation: If you have any questions or want to learn more, reach out to our team to schedule a consultation. We'll take the time to understand your needs, answer your questions, and guide you through the process. It's an opportunity for us to get to know you and ensure that we find the best possible match for your unique situation.
  3. Matching: When you find the ideal donor, place a match via our website to express your interest and ensure she doesn’t match with another family. We’ll then connect with you to make it official. 
  4. Legal: From there, we’ll work with you on all necessary legal agreements to protect everyone involved. We understand the importance of clear communication and legal clarity throughout the journey.
  5. Medical coordination: If a donor’s eggs are already frozen, we’ll help coordinate shipping them to your clinic. Otherwise, we'll work closely with the fertility clinic to coordinate the medical aspects of the egg donation process. From scheduling appointments to managing medications and monitoring, we'll ensure a seamless and stress-free experience.
  6. Ongoing support: Our commitment to you extends far beyond the match. We provide ongoing support and resources all along your exciting journey to parenthood. We're here to celebrate your milestones and offer guidance whenever you need it.

Cofertility’s Baby Guarantee

When you decide to build your family with donor eggs, you’re forced to contend with a lot of unknowns. You may be asking yourself questions like, “What if my donor doesn’t pass their screening,” or “What if the cycle doesn’t yield any healthy embryos?”

These concerns are compounded by the fact that any fertility treatment comes with a hefty price tag. We know that IVF and egg donation are huge expenses for individuals and families because we’ve been there. While we can’t promise perfection, we have devised the most intended parent-friendly guarantee on the market. We hope this brings you peace of mind and shows you how committed we are to helping you build your family.
