Your Path to Parenthood Starts Here
You deserve support, clarity, and options on your fertility journey. Whether you’re just beginning or you’ve faced hurdles along the way, Atlantic Shared Beginnings is here to help you build your family with compassion, expertise, and hope.
Explore Your Options
Every family is unique. That’s why we offer personalized options to meet your needs:
Donor Embryo Creation Programs
Donor Embryo Selection Programs
Fresh Donor Egg Program
Frozen Egg Donor Program
Fresh Donor Egg Program:
You choose a donor, and we coordinate a fresh cycle where the eggs are retrieved and fertilized with your chosen sperm source. This option gives intended parents the opportunity to maximize the number of embryos created in a single cycle.
Frozen Donor Egg Program:
With this more flexible option, intended parents select from frozen donor eggs already retrieved and ready to use. You can choose between packages of 8 or 12 mature eggs. This program may appeal to those hoping to begin sooner or avoid the timing involved in a fresh cycle.
Embryo Creation Program:
This program allows you to create an embryo using donor eggs from our carefully screened database and sperm from our partnering sperm bank. It’s ideal for families who want to be part of the embryo creation process and select the characteristics important to them.
Embryo Selection Program:
With the Embryo Selection Program, you choose from already-created embryos—made with donor eggs and sperm—ready to match with intended parents. Transfers can be done at our partner clinic, Atlantic Reproductive Medicine, or we’ll coordinate with your preferred local clinic to make the process seamless and personalized.
