Egg sharing scheme

Our egg sharing scheme allows patients with a healthy ovarian reserve to donate some of their eggs to another patient in need. It can be a rewarding experience, helping someone else take a step towards growing their family — and in return, you'll receive your egg freezing treatment at a reduced cost.

How much does egg freezing cost with egg sharing?

Initially, you'll pay for your fertility assessment and consultation. If you're accepted onto our egg sharing programme, the cost of your treatment cycle, including medication, egg collection and HFEA treatment fee, will be reduced.

Any additional procedures may incur extra costs, as outlined in our current fee schedule. An annual storage fee also applies for any eggs or embryos stored.

How do I proceed?

Starting your egg sharing journey is simple, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. From referral to donating, the process includes a few key stages to make sure egg sharing is right for you, both medically and emotionally.

Step 1: Referral or self-referral

You can join the scheme by asking your GP or Consultant to send us a referral letter. Or, you can self-refer directly via our website or by emailing nurture@tfp-fertility.com.

Step 2: Fertility assessment

We’ll invite you in for the following assessments to help determine if you’re suitable for egg sharing:

A scan to assess your follicle count
A blood test to measure your AMH level
BMI (must be between 18 and 29.9)
Age eligibility: 19–35

Step 3: Consultation

We'll then invite you in for a consultation to discuss the results of your fertility assessment and whether you're suitable for egg sharing. You'll receive your treatment plan and have the opportunity to answer any questions you may have.

Step 4: Screening and counselling

We'll perform some screening blood tests to check for any genetic conditions as well as infections that could be passed on to a child born from one of your eggs. You'll also meet with a specialist fertility counsellor to discuss the emotional aspects of egg sharing - this is a key step for all our donors.

5. Treatment planning

One of our nurses will walk you through the treatment you will have to donate your eggs. This includes the medication you will need and how to use it.

6. Treatment cycle

On the first day of your next period, you’ll call us to arrange for some monitoring scans. You’ll also begin a course of stimulation hormones to mature the eggs in your ovaries.

We’ll perform monitoring scans to plan when the egg collection procedure will take place.

7. Donating your eggs

On the day, you’ll need to:

Fast for a few hours before the procedure
Be sedated for a short time while we collect your eggs
You’ll be able to return home on the same day as the procedure. You’ll need a friend or family member to escort you home afterwards.
