What’s the difference between fresh vs. frozen donor eggs?

• Frozen Eggs. Frozen eggs are immediately available and can be shipped to any City Fertility laboratory in Australia (subject to state import/export legislation). If the donor of preference is overseas, the eggs will be shipped to the City Fertility laboratory for warming, fertilisation and transfer.
• Fresh eggs. For this option, arrangements are made for the donor’s IVF cycle to commence. If your preferred donor is overseas, the donor’s workup (counselling, screening, consenting) will be completed by the respective overseas egg bank before the donor can commence stimulation for the cycle. The recipient’s choice of sperm is shipped to the overseas egg bank, so the fresh eggs can be fertilized immediately after egg collection. Embryos created from this cycle are frozen and shipped to the City Fertility laboratory.
