Egg Donation Shared Risk Plan Pricing Option
Only available if using one of our donors, or an outside donor that we have screened and approved

The price is not affected by the age of the female partner (donor egg recipient)

Program Eligibility (using donor eggs)*

To qualify for our risk-sharing program using donor eggs, a couple needs to meet the following requirements:

Tests needed to qualify:

1. Ultrasound to document that the uterus is normal enough to sustain a pregnancy and that the uterine lining will reach a minimum thickness of 8.0 mm (cost is $175).

2. Office hysteroscopy and mock embryo transfer to document that the uterine cavity is normal (cost is $425).

• The female partner must be 49 or younger and be able to finish the program by age 50

• Couples that have failed IVF with own eggs can be eligible. However, if they have failed 2 cycles using donor eggs they are not eligible for our guarantee plans.

• The female partner must be a non-smoker in order to be eligible for the guarantee. We will accept a smoker if she quits entirely by 30 days prior to the start of the ovarian stimulating medications. This is documented with urine and/or blood tests.

• Women that are significantly overweight (Body Mass Index over 34) are not eligible
• Women with a hydrosalpinx are not eligible. However, they can have the hydrosalpinx surgically removed and then could qualify.
• If IVF or egg donation has been attempted previously, copies of ovarian stimulation and embryology records must be submitted to us

• The male partner must have a minimum of 100,000 motile sperm in his ejaculate

• The couple must be willing to have ICSI, transfer 2 embryos, and cryopreserve any leftover potentially viable embryos (frozen embryos will always be used before another fresh attempt is considered)

* We reserve the right to approve or deny entry into our guarantee programs on a case by case basis.

Program Terms

The Program fee consists of a non-refundable (20%) and a refundable (80%) portion. If, after up to 4 completed fresh egg donation cycles no live birth has resulted (and all available frozen embryos have been transferred), the refundable portion will be returned to the couple. If you get pregnant and have a baby, we keep the entire fee.

We reserve the right to terminate the patient's participation after each completed cycle (this is very rare). Likewise, the couple has the right to terminate its participation after each completed cycle (after all fresh and frozen embryos have been transferred).

• If our center terminates the couple's risk-sharing plan early (before the completion of all 4 fresh IVF attempts), the full 80% refund will be returned to the couple
• If the couple quits the program before they complete all 4 fresh egg donation cycles, the refund will be 50% of the fee after 1 fresh cycle, and the full 80% refund after 2 or more fresh cycles as long as all frozen embryos have been transferred to the female partner's uterus.

The program must be completed within 18 months from the day of the first egg retrieval. As indicated earlier, each cycle corresponds to an ovarian stimulation of a donor followed by the surgical aspiration of the donor's eggs, their fertilization in the embryology lab followed by the transfer of embryos. If pregnancy is not achieved, the couple will usually speak with the physician to discuss a "frozen" embryo transfer (if applicable), or a repeat fresh egg donation cycle (after all frozen embryos, if any, have been transferred).

Included services in risk-sharing program:

• Egg retrieval
• Fertilization
• All IVF laboratory services
• ICSI
• Assisted hatching if indicated
• Embryo transfer
• Embryo cryopreservation (freezing) and storage of frozen embryos for up to 12 months

Excluded services:

• Prescreening tests on recipient woman and her male partner
• Medications for both donor and recipient
• Consultations with the physician
• Pregnancy testing and pregnancy monitoring
• Embryo storage beyond the first 12 months
• Frozen embryo storage after you deliver a baby. We will begin charging a monthly storage fee beginning when you deliver the baby - or you can transfer those embryos to ReproTech for long term storage at lower fees.
• Any frozen embryo transfer cycles done with remaining embryos after the birth of a baby. These would be billed on a fee for service basis.
  

Medication Costs:

Donor medication costs are additional, unless the option is chosen that includes all donor meds ($2700 additional per cycle). Medications usually cost about $2000-4000 for the egg donor. Some donors will require higher doses of medications to stimulate sufficient egg production. Higher doses means increased medication cost. The recipient woman will also need medications which usually cost about $500-1000.
