Important things to consider

General things to consider

• Egg availability is subject to demand. Number of eggs available from an individual donor cycle, number of reservations for a particular donor and donor withdrawal from the program can all effect donor egg availability.

• EDA Egg availability is subject to location; you may be required to travel interstate to use your preferred donor as not all donors are eligible for interstate transfer.
• EDA offers banked, frozen eggs. Frozen eggs are immediately available and can be shipped to any City Fertility laboratory in Australia (subject to state import/export legislation). Six frozen eggs are provided to the recipient.
• Egg Donors Australia also offers fresh donated eggs. Fresh donors are available 1-4 months after reservation due to preparations required and completion of an IVF cycle. After a recipient has selected a fresh EDA donor, arrangements are made for the donor’s IVF cycle to commence. Six fresh eggs are provided to the recipient for fertilisation. If the recipient is not local to the clinic where the donor is cycling, the recipient’s choice of sperm (partner or donor) is shipped to the donor’s local City Fertility laboratory ready for fertilisation of the fresh eggs. If the clinic is local to the recipient, the partner will produce a sperm sample at the clinic on a prescribed date, ready for fertilisation of the eggs.
