What to Know About Finding Donor Eggs in Los Angeles

If you’re exploring the idea of growing your family with the help of donor eggs, you’re far from alone. Whether infertility brought you here or you're pursuing solo or LGBTQ+ parenthood, Los Angeles offers some of the most experienced clinics and inclusive resources for intended parents. But even with access to top-notch providers, the process of egg donation can still feel overwhelming — especially if you’re not sure where to begin.

This guide is for intended parents living in or near LA who want clear, compassionate information on how donor egg IVF works, what makes California uniquely supportive, and how Cofertility’s donor model could simplify the process in a meaningful way.

Why California — and LA in particular — is a leader in donor egg IVF

California has been at the forefront of assisted reproduction for decades, and that legacy shows up in every step of the process. Los Angeles, in particular, is home to high-volume fertility clinics, internationally recognized doctors, and a legal system that supports donor conception with clarity and foresight.

Here’s what stands out:

• Legal peace of mind: In California, intended parents are legally recognized from the outset of an egg donation cycle, thanks to strong reproductive law. Contracts between donor and parent are required and enforceable — reducing uncertainty later on.
• Diverse, inclusive care: LA clinics regularly work with single parents, same-sex couples, and intended parents of all backgrounds. Many providers have inclusive language, staff training, and mental health support baked into their programs.
• High standards of care: Whether you’re working with an academic institution or a boutique fertility clinic, most LA providers offer advanced options like genetic testing, embryo banking, and personalized stimulation protocols.
• Supportive local culture: There’s also something to be said about being in a place where family building through egg donation is normalized. From community meetups to providers who “get it,” LA offers emotional and social support that’s hard to quantify — but deeply valuable.

At Cofertility, we’ve built strong relationships with clinics and legal experts throughout Southern California (where we are headquartered), so you’ll have trusted professionals guiding you every step of the way.

How finding an egg donor works with Cofertility

Not all donor agencies operate the same way — and if you’re beginning your search in LA, you might notice just how transactional many traditional models feel. At Cofertility, we’ve flipped that script.

Our egg sharing model means donors aren’t paid cash. Instead, they get to freeze their own eggs for free and donate half of the retrieved eggs to intended parents like you. This shifts the motivation: our donors aren’t donating eggs because they need a quick buck — they’re thoughtful about their own future family-building and want to help someone else in the process.

Here’s how we support you:

• Pre-vetted, ready-to-match donors: Every profile you see in our donor database has already passed initial screenings (medical, genetic, psychological), so you’re not wasting time.
• Transparent matching experience: You can search based on what matters most to you, and if you’d like, we offer the opportunity for a donor–parent match meeting.
• Legal and logistical support: We connect you with California-based attorneys who specialize in reproductive law and help ensure all contracts are clear and fair.
• Both fresh and frozen options: We offer both fresh and frozen egg donor matches.  
• VIP coordination: Once you’ve decided to work with us, we help with everything along the way, including finding a clinic (or working with your existing clinic), matching with a donor, shipping the eggs, making sure the legal paperwork is filed properly, and every other detail along the way. 

Whether you're pursuing fresh eggs or prefer the flexibility of frozen, we can help match you with a donor and move forward on a timeline that fits your needs.

What makes Cofertility different from the rest

The traditional model of egg donation is woefully outdated. Cofertility is intentionally different and we’re ushering in a new era for our industry. 

Here’s why more LA-based families are choosing our model:

• Donors with long-term perspective: Our donors aren’t just giving — they’re also preserving their own fertility, which often creates a more thoughtful dynamic.
• Flexible matching: We offer both fresh and frozen egg options, depending on what fits your clinic and timeline.
• Opportunity to meet the donor: We were the first egg donation agency (that we know of) to offer meetings between intended parents and egg donors. It’s optional, but a lot of families and donors appreciate shedding the secrecy and enjoy meeting one another.
• Greater transparency: We support disclosed donations whenever possible, so children can have the option to learn more later in life.
• Personalized support: From match to retrieval and beyond, our incredible team of Member Advocates are here to guide you with empathy, professionalism, and real answers to your questions.
  
  

Planning your egg donation process in Los Angeles

Once you choose Cofertility, here’s what the general process looks like:

1. Search our donor database: Create a free account to get immediate access to pre-screened profiles based on your priorities.
2. (Optional) Match meeting: If both parties are open to it, we’ll facilitate a match meeting between you and your donor.
3. Legal agreements: Our legal partners help finalize a California-compliant donor agreement that protects everyone involved.
4. Cycle coordination: Working with your clinic, we’ll handle the scheduling, medication start, and retrieval logistics.
5. Embryo creation and beyond: Once the eggs are retrieved, your clinic fertilizes them with your chosen sperm source and transfers an embryo when ready.

If you opt for our frozen eggs program, the timeline will move faster since the eggs are already retrieved and ready to ship.

Our goal is to keep the process as smooth and supported as possible, so you can focus on the bigger picture: building your family.
