We have donor eggs available now

Donor eggs are provided by individuals who altruistically donate to help individuals and couples achieve their dreams of parenthood. This is carried out under strict regulations to ensure the highest standards of safety, ethics, and transparency.

• Known donor: A known donor is someone you have a personal connection with who has agreed to voluntarily donate their egg. This could include a friend, relative, or trusted individual.
• Clinic-recruited donor: Eggs donated altruistically to an unknown recipient. These donors undergo comprehensive medical screenings and professional counselling to ensure the highest standards of safety, including testing for transmittable and genetic conditions

In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

In Vitro Fertilisation involves the fertilisation of the egg by sperm in an incubator outside the body before the embryo is transferred back into the recipient’s uterus.

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is a specialised form of IVF that involves the injection of a single sperm directly into a mature egg. ICSI is also used for the treatment of severe cases of male infertility.
