Using donor eggs: How does it work?
Starting fertility treatment with donor eggs can come with mixed feelings and questions, but you do not have to navigate the process alone. European Egg Bank helps you find an egg donor, understand your options, and coordinate the donor egg process with your chosen fertility clinic. We will guide you step-by-step.
Start searching for your donor
Start by exploring the available egg donors. With detailed profiles and a broad selection, this gives you a good idea of your options. You can also use Photo Match to find a donor that looks like you or your partner. Looking beyond appearance, Personality Explorer can help you find donors whose traits align with your preferences.
Book a free consultation
The next step is to schedule a personal consultation with one of our advisers. During this private session, we will discuss your needs, preferences, and answer any questions you have so you can find the right donor.
Choose your donor and treatment clinic
When you have chosen your donor, you will pay for a package containing a set number of eggs, an extended donor profile and a Pregnancy Slot.
We can help you find the right clinic and establish contact if you are willing to travel for treatment. If you have found a clinic you would like to use, we are happy to check if it is eligible for treatment with donor eggs.
Coordinate treatment plan with your clinic
When your treatment plan is ready, we work closely with your chosen clinic to ensure everything is prepared and that your donor eggs arrive safely and on time.
Start your treatment
With everything in place, your clinic will begin the treatment plan and guide you through the next steps on your path to parenthood.
Find a partner clinic for your treatment
European Egg Bank works with selected fertility clinics in France, Portugal, Austria, Greece and Cyprus, with Israel coming soon. If you already have a clinic in mind, our team can help check whether treatment with donor eggs from European Egg Bank is possible there. We can also guide you through your clinic options if you are still deciding where to begin treatment.

Frequently asked questions about using donor eggs
Which clinics can I be treated in?

In addition to the price of the package, you will also need to pay for the fertility treatment itself, which is set by your chosen clinic. We are happy to provide a detailed cost breakdown to help you plan with confidence.
