Welcome to the Reproductive Biology Associates Egg Bank. Although we are not the only practice freezing eggs, we have become the only egg donor program in the world to make egg freezing routine. The future, as they say, is now.

Since we first started vitrifying donor eggs two years ago, we have consistently had pregnancy rates in excess of 60% and equal to our fresh donor egg statistics. After the initial 12 month trial period, we concluded that we had found the holy grail of egg donation; a method to reliably and efficiently freeze eggs for routine use. Since our egg bank officially opened in February 2008, we have been actively recruiting donors and matching them to our recipients. Our inventory now exceeds 500 eggs from more than 30 donors. We thaw an average of six eggs per recipient to get two high quality blastocysts for transfer. We are capable of meeting the needs of about 70 recipients above and beyond our current patients immediately. We continue to bank eggs from high quality donors and anticipate that most recipients will have little or no wait for a match. We screen about eighty young women for our donor program per month and approve about 10% of the applicants. All our donors meet the criteria set forth by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

We are very proud of our donor program and our egg bank. We are unique in how we operate. Our recipients can schedule their IVF procedure at their convenience, knowing that the eggs they will receive will result in at least two high-quality blastocysts for transfer or we will provide another attempt at no additional cost. Furthermore, our recipients can take comfort in knowing that they have come to the egg bank with the world’s highest success rates for frozen eggs. Our overall cost per embryo transfer (about $16,500) is well below the national average for egg donation, making our cost per delivery remarkably low.

With the launch of this website, recipients will be able to select donors themselves and review profiles at their leisure. They will be able to provide us with a first and second choice donor. Most importantly, recipients will be able to do all this knowing that their identities are protected as securely as if they made their choice(s) face to face with their doctor.

Some of you reading this are looking to become donors rather than recipients.

If you are interested in using frozen donor eggs, please contact our patient registration coordinator, Mary, at 404-459-3515. We look forward to hearing from you!
