Donor egg IVF — Pasadena, CA

Donor-egg IVF uses eggs from a screened donor — fresh or from a frozen egg bank — fertilized and transferred to the intended parent or a carrier. It is the highest-probability path for diminished ovarian reserve, repeated IVF failure, and patients over about 42, because outcomes track the donor's age rather than the recipient's.

The CDC registry reports donor-egg outcomes separately from own-egg cycles, by embryo type. Those numbers appear on each clinic's profile — clinics listed below report offering donor egg services.

What to ask at a consult

• Fresh donor cycle or frozen bank eggs — what are your outcomes with each?
• What does a donor cycle cost all-in, including donor compensation, agency or bank fees, and legal work?
• How are donors screened, and how many families can one donor's eggs go to?

Costs are a first-class question for this procedure — see what IVF costs and how to pay less and whether insurance must cover treatment in California.
