How does your live birth guarantee work?

Our Donor Embryo Creation program includes a live birth guarantee. If a live birth is not achieved from the transfer of one out of the two euploid embryos, eligible recipients receive an 80% refund of the program cost (excluding the enrollment fee).

How do you screen embryos?

Our screening process is among the most rigorous available. All embryos are created from egg and sperm donors who undergo comprehensive screening, including genetic carrier screening, infectious disease testing, psychological evaluation, and optional PGT-A testing to assess chromosomal normality. This ensures the highest level of safety, quality, and success. In our donor embryo programs, the majority of embryos are PGT-A tested before transfer.

What’s the difference between fresh and frozen?

Frozen eggs are retrieved and stored ahead of time, allowing you to get started more quickly.

Fresh eggs are fertilized immediately after retrieval, often leading to more embryos and higher success rates.

Fresh cycles are ideal if you’re planning for more than one child or want to maximize embryo creation. Frozen is best if you prefer a faster, simpler process.
