You will travel to our San Diego location with all necessary expenses covered. One of our skilled physicians will retrieve the eggs vaginally through a minimally invasive procedure.
You’ll find your perfect match through our extensive donor database. Whether you are looking for a donor with high IQ, specific aesthetics, gifts or talents, our matching program assures you select the characteristics most important to you.
Your journey to parenthood will be shorter and more predictable because of our Egg Bank. Quality donor eggs are frozen through vitrification and stored in our on-site laboratory. Electing to use bank to eggs puts you in control of your timeline, since they are available for immediate use. Additionally, selecting donors from our bank eliminates waiting time and unforeseen setbacks. You will maximize success rates due to a guaranteed yield of high quality, mature eggs.
The day after hatching, the embryo is transferred to the uterus where it will hopefully implant and result in a successful pregnancy.
The embryo is held with a specialized holding pipette. A very delicate, hollow needle is used to expel the acidic solution against the outer “shell” (zona pellucida) of the embryo. The acidic solution creates a small hole in the shell.
Upon your arrival, you will check in with a Patient Care Coordinator.
