How much does the Split program cost?

Unfortunately, for most of us, the best time to freeze our eggs is when we can least afford it. If you’re eligible, our Split program enables you to freeze and store your eggs for 10 years entirely for free when you donate half of the eggs retrieved to a family who can’t otherwise conceive. No hidden charges, no surprise fees.

Who do my donated eggs go to?

When you donate eggs through the Split Program, you’re helping people who dream of parenthood but can’t get there without support: Couples struggling with infertility LGBTQ+ couples and individuals Cancer survivors Women experiencing age-related decline Single intended parents

How does Cofertility handle relationships between donors and families?

When you join Cofertility, you’ll choose how much contact you’d like with the family: Disclosed donation: You meet virtually or by phone before finalizing the match. Any future relationship is up to both parties. Undisclosed donation: You don’t meet, and all communication goes through Cofertility. If both sides agree, we can still arrange a call without sharing names. Sometimes medical updates may need to be shared for the wellbeing of the child or family. And as donor-conceived children grow, they may want to learn more about their genetics. Learn more about disclosed vs. undisclosed donation

What are the medical risks? Will egg freezing hurt?

While egg freezing is generally considered safe and effective, there are potential side effects that you should be aware of before making the decision to undergo the procedure. Common side effects include bloating, cramping, nausea, and breast tenderness from the hormonal stimulation medications. Egg retrieval is a short, outpatient procedure performed under sedation, where most people describe mild cramping or soreness afterward. Your doctor will review all potential risks and side effects with you before starting, but you can also check out the full breakdown here: What Are the Side Effects and Risks of Egg Freezing?

How many eggs will I get?

The number of eggs retrieved during an egg donation cycle varies based on factors like age, overall health, ovarian reserve, and response to egg freezing medication. When we screen Split members, we’re looking for individuals with strong ovarian health and other key indicators that suggest a higher likelihood of success — both for their own family-building goals and for the intended parents they help.

Why choose the Split Program?

Invest in yourself at no cost
Egg freezing gives you the freedom to build your family on your own timeline. Split removes the 5-figure price tag, covering 100% of the cost plus 10 years of storage. No fees, no surprises.
Dedicated support at every step
You’ll have a trusted Member Advocate from our team by your side from start to finish. They’ll serve as your personal guide, cheerleader, and expert resource. Questions, nerves, all of it: we’ve got you.
Valuable insights on your reproductive health
When you participate in the Split program, you’ll get comprehensive fertility and genetic testing at no cost to you. It’s information many people don’t get access to until they’re actively trying to conceive, and it can be incredibly powerful in planning your future.
Change another family’s life
By sharing some of your eggs with another family (think families facing infertility, same-sex couples, cancer survivors, and more), you’re helping another family grow while you plan for your own future.

Qualifying for Split

We’d love for Split to be available to everyone, but to keep the process safe and in line with FDA and ASRM guidelines for egg donation, you’ll need to meet the following criteria to qualify:

Have both ovaries
Be between ages 21-33
Have a BMI less than 30 (for medication safety and procedure effectiveness)

How does the process work?

The Split program involves several steps from application through egg retrieval:

Get Started

1

Take the initial quiz

Start with our quick one-minute quiz to see if you might qualify for Split. This gives us basic information about your health and background.

2

Submit your program application

If your quiz responses indicate potential eligibility, you’ll complete a full application. This determines your eligibility and helps create your profile that intended parents will see.

3

Consultation with our team

After passing the initial screening, you’ll speak with a Member Advocate who can answer your questions and make sure you understand the process before your profile goes live.

4

Sign the Split program agreement

We’ll send you an agreement outlining the program details. This agreement remains non-binding until you begin your egg retrieval cycle, and it’s written in clear language. Our team is available to explain anything you don’t understand.

5

Complete initial testing

You’ll take a free AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) test to assess your ovarian reserve. Fertility doctors typically look for an AMH level at or above 2.0 ng/ml for egg donation, as this suggests you’ll likely respond well to fertility treatments and produce enough eggs for both donation and personal use. You’ll also take a free genetic test to tell you whether you carry a gene for certain genetic disorders.

6

Match with intended parents

Your profile will be listed on our platform for intended parents to view. Once matched, you’ll have a dedicated Member Advocate to guide you through every single step. You can choose to meet the intended parents before proceeding.

7

Complete medical screening

After matching, you’ll undergo physical screening based on FDA, ASRM, and industry guidelines. This includes bloodwork and a vaginal ultrasound to evaluate your ovarian reserve. Depending on your location, testing may happen at a clinic near you or require some travel (which we organize and pay for).

8

Start your egg freezing cycle

If approved, you’ll begin the stimulation phase. You’ll take medications to encourage your ovaries to mature multiple eggs simultaneously. While this might sound intimidating, we provide detailed tutorials and support. A fertility doctor will monitor your progress throughout the 10-14 day stimulation period.

9

Egg retrieval

When your eggs reach peak maturity, you’ll undergo the egg retrieval procedure. This outpatient procedure takes about 30 minutes and is done under sedation. The doctor uses ultrasound guidance to remove the eggs vaginally.

10

Eggs are frozen and stored

After retrieval, half the eggs are frozen and stored for you (free for 10 years). You can access them anytime and have them shipped to your chosen fertility clinic. The other half go to the intended parents for fertilization.

11

Next steps

Depending on your family-planning goals, you might decide to complete a second cycle. For women under 35, studies show an average of 18-21 eggs retrieved per cycle, closely correlated with AMH levels. Research indicates that freezing nine eggs gives women under 35 approximately a 70% chance at a live birth.

98% of Split Members say that regardless of their own family-building journey, they’re glad to have participated in the Split program.

"Physicians are often forced to sacrifice their most fertile years for their training, and that becomes such a huge source of anxiety for so many female doctors. This is an opportunity to preserve some of your fertility, while doing something amazing for another family."

Hannah

“If I can assist in bringing pure joy into another family’s life, I’d do it willingly, with a full heart. I watched my best friend go through a miscarriage, only to find out she wouldn’t be able to have kids of her own. It was one of the most heartbreaking experiences I’ve ever witnessed. I vowed that if I could ever help someone in that capacity, I would.”

Split member

Kristen

“I love Cofertility’s focus on the families they work with, and their passion for fertility education. I love that I’m able to freeze eggs for myself while also giving to others. This meaningful act is something that I’m honored to do and thinking about what this could lead to floods me with happiness.”

Split member

Mary

“As someone who constantly looks to give and support where I can, this felt like an unparalleled opportunity. I want the option to have children, but I am just not ready yet. It’s incredible that I can help other couples who may not be able to conceive.”
