PreciousEggs Fresh
With PreciousEggs, you have the opportunity to use fresh donor eggs. You are able to choose from our high quality PreciousEggs donors preparing for their upcoming cycle, potential donors that have not yet been matched, as well as donors who have donated eggs in the past and are eligible to donate again.

Our frozen donor egg options allow you to choose from an expanded selection of donors whose eggs have already been retrieved. Frozen donor eggs are immediately available to you, and each donor has already undergone a very thorough screening and testing process. You will have the peace of mind knowing that the eggs have already been retrieved.

Pros of Fresh Donor Eggs
More Donors to Choose From
Many egg banks have extensive databases of already frozen eggs available to pick from. However, this limits the pool to egg donors who have already cycled either for someone else, or for the purpose of banking their eggs. Offering fresh donors who haven't yet donated but are willing to, widens the pool of egg donors available for intended parents to choose from.
No Egg Thawing Needed
After a donor's IVF cycle, the retrieved fresh eggs are immediately fertilized in the laboratory with sperm from the intended father or sperm donor. Intended parents who choose a fresh donor will not incur the risk of losing eggs that can occur when thawing frozen eggs.
Pros of Frozen Donor Eggs
No Wait Time
The average time frame of a donor IVF cycle from start to finish is about three months. Intended parents who choose frozen donor eggs will not have to wait for this period of time and can create embryos immediately.
A Set Number of Eggs are Secured
With frozen donor eggs, the exact number of available eggs in storage is already known. This may eliminate anxiety that could emerge from not knowing how many eggs will be retrieved when cycling a fresh donor.
