The Donor Egg + Surrogacy Process

Step 1

Initial Consultation and Testing

Book a consultation to start with a semen analysis, infectious disease, and genetic carrier screenings. We often freeze sperm during this visit for use in treatment. Your doctor will outline the treatment and key decisions.

Step 2

Egg Donor Selection

Choosing an egg donor is crucial for genetic contribution and success rates. We collaborate with numerous agencies to offer a broad selection of candidates and assist you in making an informed choice. After selection, the donor undergoes medical screening and signs contracts to commence treatment.

Step 3

Selecting a Gestational Carrier (Surrogate)

We partner with top surrogacy agencies to match you with a surrogate, who then undergoes a thorough review and medical screening. After legal preparations, treatment begins.

Step 4

Embryo Creation

The donor receives hormone injections to produce eggs, aiming for 20-25 eggs per cycle and generating 4-10 blastocysts for freezing. Optional genetic screening (PGS) can identify chromosomally normal embryos. Embryos are stored until the surrogate is ready.

Step 5

Embryo Transfer

The surrogate receives hormones to prepare for implantation. On the procedure day, one or two embryos are thawed and transferred into the surrogate’s uterus under ultrasound guidance. Intended parents can be present during this process.

Pinnacle Eggbank

Through a thorough and meticulous selection procedure, they ensure a broad spectrum of egg donors from different ethnic backgrounds, all with outstanding attributes.
