Fresh vs. Frozen Donor Eggs

Using Fresh Donor Eggs vs. Frozen Donor Eggs:
Which Choice Is Right For You?

Not all intended parents are able to use their own eggs for conception for a variety of medical reasons. For LGBTQ+ couples, the challenge is even greater. Fortunately, Matching Miracles can help all intended parents realize the dream of growing a family using donor eggs.

There are two options for donor eggs – fresh and frozen. In the early days of fertility treatments with donor eggs, fresh donation was the only option because the freezing techniques had not been perfected. Today, both options are safe and widely used.

There are benefits and considerations for both options which we’ve detailed for you in the next section.

How Matching Miracles Brings intended parents and Egg Donors Together

Matching Miracles specializes in helping all intended parents realize their dream of parenthood by matching them with fresh egg donors.
