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.

“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.”

I had the best experience here at ASB! Dr. Copland is the best at explaining all the steps in detail. We got our miracle baby girl and couldn’t be happier! Thank you again!
