Become a Recipient
Our donors provide the gift of life and hope to intended parents who need the help of donor eggs or embryos to become pregnant and build their families.
Depending on the program you select, you can have your created embryos transferred to your uterus here at our Atlantic Reproductive Medicine clinic or at your own local fertility clinic.
All Shared Beginnings donors receive their care with Atlantic Reproductive Medicine, regardless of where the embryo transfer occurs.
Atlantic Shared Beginnings is honored to help our patients on their pathway to pregnancy and family building, and honored to give our donors the best care possible at Atlantic Reproductive Medicine.
Our Atlantic Shared Beginnings Office
Atlantic Shared Beginning Office is located within Atlantic Reproductive Medicine, which has the most up-to-date fertility services and Embryology and Andrology Labs where your embryo is created.
Atlantic Reproductive Medicine, Our Partner for Your Needs
Atlantic Shared Beginnings works closely with our partner, Atlantic Reproductive Medicine. Using tailored, evidence-based fertility treatment plans and the most current technologies, our physicians and lab specialists provide a tailored, personalized, relationship-based approach to family building.
With that same personalized approach, Atlantic Shared Beginnings offers assistance to those who need the help of donor eggs or donor embryos with either partner sperm or donor sperm to start or grow their families.

Atlantic’s Fertility Lab has two labs: the embryology lab and the andrology lab.

Which Program is Right for You?
Embryos
With our Embryo Creation program, intended parent(s) create their desired embryo by selecting an egg donor from Atlantic’s egg donor database and a sperm donor from one of our partnering sperm banks.
Fresh Egg Donor
With our Fresh Egg Donor Program, intended parent(s) select an egg donor from Atlantic’s egg donor database. The donor will go through an egg donation cycle to create embryos with either the intended parent’s sperm or donor sperm.
Frozen Egg Donor
With our Frozen Egg Donor Program, intended parents have two program options: selection of 8 mature frozen eggs or 12 mature frozen eggs. Embryology fees and PGT-A testing are separate costs paid to Atlantic Reproductive Medicine.

“Dr. Walmer, and Stephanie were all great to work with. They made you feel like they truly cared about you and their ultimate goal of getting pregnant and having a baby. Dr. Walmer is such a kind and caring person and after our transfer I am pretty sure he either prayed or had words of encouragement to say. They were very reassuring throughout the whole process. Thank you so much! On April 6, 2022 we welcomed our little miracle into the world.”
