Based on your general health, history of fertility treatments and age, your care team will assess if egg donation is the right choice for you.

Third Party Reproduction | Who are the donor recipients?
Egg donations are a required service for:
- Women struggling with low or no egg production
- Women with poor egg quality

The Embryon Family is dedicated to simplifying your search and decision-making process. We are here to support you at every stage, ensuring you find the perfect egg donor match, successful IVF cycle and understand what to anticipate throughout this journey.
5 Stages of Your Donor Egg IVF Cycle
1. Submit your Egg Donor Characteristics
We simplify the process of searching for particular traits such as hair color, eye color, height, blood type. A proficient specialist in matching Embryo Family egg donors will assist you to customize your search and aid in the selection of your donor.
2. Egg Donor Profile Review
Each egg donor profile contains information regarding the donor's educational qualifications, health and reproductive history, along with family and genetic background. We provide photos of the selected donors. These photos feature at least one photograph with her own child, allowing you to gain some understanding of the donors' personalities through her photos.
3. Get in Touch
A few intended parents look for donors with specific characteristics or looks, while some wish to form a connection with the donor. This common feature can be a passion or just an interest.
Maybe the donor has characteristics in common with you, or resembles someone in your family. Each person's connection is unique.
An Embryon Fertility Coach will guide you through the emotional feelings of accepting that egg donation is necessary. If there are any doubts, contact us.
4. Choose an Egg Donor
Once you select your perfect egg donor, simply download and fill out our egg donor confirmation form, and your selected donor or her frozen eggs will be reserved for you.
5. Confirm your Match – Fresh Transfer
Once you have confirmed your choice of egg donor, we will contact the donor to verify her menstrual cycle for the donation. If your doctor gives the green light and you are prepared to move forward, we will share the egg retrieval schedule of the donor with you. Then, we will send you our agreement. After we receive your signed agreement and the necessary funds, we will initiate the donor-assisted IVF cycle.
ONCE YOUR MATCH IS CONFIRMED, THE EGG RETRIEVAL CAN HAPPEN WITHIN 30 DAYS!

Choosing Between Fresh and Frozen Donor Eggs
Using fresh donor eggs
Frequently(Not always) Results in higher success rate of fertilization and implantation than frozen eggs. This is largely because there is no freezing and thawing. Why use fresh donor of the eggs, and thus potentially no decrease in egg quality. Fresh cycles produce more eggs, providing additional embryos to transfer or freeze. Higher fresh egg survival rates may require using fewer fresh eggs leading to possibly having some leftover strong candidates that are capable of fertilizing on their own, without ICSI.
Using frozen donor eggs
Has its drawbacks. Thawing is problematic, since not all eggs survive it and this may have an impact on their quality. But improvements in vitrification methods have resolved this issue. Success rates in live birth with cryopreserved egg are a little bit lower than fresh eggs.
Don’t buy anyone’s argument that frozen donor eggs are as good as fresh. While they may argue that the convenience/flexibility of scheduling embryo transfer with frozen eggs is better (which only serves their business model). In fact, the benefits of frozen eggs are mostly for those who bank them than anyone else: There is a growing surplus of frozen donor eggs and what’s more, banking eggs is getting more expensive and it is getting harder to find good egg donors.
Updated August 2025
In a recent study published in 2025 by Reproductive Biomedicine Online
The research verifies that cryopreserved oocytes (eggs) consistently yield significantly lower rates of implantation and live births compared to fresh oocytes. While this has been documented before, it remains a desputed topic and has not altered the fact that currently, over 75% of donor egg cycles in the US use cryopreserved oocytes instead of fresh ones according to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology(SART) National Summary Report, 2022 - 2024.
The Embryon Family is committed to transparency and supporting our intended mothers in achieving a successful outcome. That’s why we invest fully to ensure a live birth. For us to succeed...Trust is paramount!

What Is Gestational Surrogacy IVF ?
Gestational surrogacy is an extremely effective method of family building in which embryos are created through the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and are then placed into the uterus of a carefully-screened and medically approved surrogate to serve as the gestational carrier. This surrogate will then go through the pregnancy and subsequently give birth to your child.
The Best Candidates for Surrogacy
One in six couples worldwide struggles to conceive, according to the World Health Organization. Ukraine allows surrogacy only for hetero couples, whose wife is unable to give birth at all or has medical contraindications for delivery.

At Embryon, we recognize that choosing surrogacy is a significant decision. To ensure you feel supported and informed throughout this journey, we adhere to rigorous standards that promote an ethical and positive surrogacy experience.
Here’s what you can anticipate during the process:
- Transparent surrogacy costs along with established payment plans
- Comprehensive screenings for surrogates to confirm their physical and mental suitability
- A legally binding contract to protect the interests of all parties involved
- The fertilization process will utilize either your oocytes or a donor's eggs combined with your husband's sperm to create the embryo necessary for the surrogate's transfer. Legally, at least one of you must have a genetic link to the child.

Parent Testimonials
Our experience with The Embryon Family has been fantastic. Ira, Kristina, and the entire team are kind, responsive, and competent. We were quickly matched with a wonderful surrogate, and we’ve been able to take advantage of Embryon’s top-notch in-house legal team and fertility clinic. We have been so pleased with Embryon's personalized Everything Matters concept, and they have made our surrogacy as seamless as possible. We are so thankful to have joined The Embryon Family!
“I am so grateful for the care I received from the staff throughout my experience with The Embryon Family Fertility Center in Kyiv. During some of the most emotional times of my life, they helped me stay positive because they clearly wanted what was best for me but also explained things in real terms. I knew from day one I was in the right place and in the right hands, and today I look back and am so thankful that the team was there with me every step of the way. I am now almost 20 weeks pregnant with our “miracle” baby after a successful egg donation IVF and we can’t wait to meet our little peanut!”
We have been on this journey for quite some time now, ever since we realized that we needed help to fulfill our dream of having children. Initially, we thought we could navigate the complex research and information on our own. But as time passed, we understood that we needed assistance. We knew we had to trust someone with our deepest struggles and emotions, and from the start, we knew you were the right person for the job.
Building trust with you was surprisingly quick, and the connection between us was instant. You have been the perfect guide - knowledgeable, attentive, resourceful, and always respectful of our privacy. Your honesty, loyalty, and friendship have been invaluable to us on this challenging journey. Without your guidance, we might have lost our way at the many crossroads we encountered together.
We are grateful for your hard work, patience, and unwavering support. We hope you can continue to help others in need, just as you have helped us.
Thank you letter and recommendation for parents on the journey...
When my partner and I found out that we needed an egg donation from another country in order to become parents, we were filled with worry. It can be quite daunting to navigate through a foreign country where most of the communication is in a language you don't understand. The market is flooded with options from various companies and doctors offering assistance in this matter.
By chance, I stumbled upon The Embryon Family’s website while searching on Google. Ira, reached out to me on the same day and took the time to explain the entire process over the phone. He also provided information about the cost, without any pressure or invasive questions (complete transparency). He encouraged us to explore other options and compare details, which we did. I even had the opportunity to speak with a woman who had gone through many IVF cycles and had also found Ira and The Embryon Family through an acquaintance who had met with him earlier. The focus at Embryon is on personalized care and transparency.
Ira has been with us every step of the way, offering support and guidance from the moment we made the decision until now. He patiently answers all our questions and makes us feel as safe as possible. The schedule is created in collaboration with the couple, taking into consideration their needs and preferences. Ira truly listens, understands, and shares in our anticipation for good news. He has been there for me during phone calls, meetings, consultations with my OBGYN in Israel, and even during our stay in Kyiv. After the treatment, he made sure I took the time to rest and not strain myself, regularly checking in with calls and messages to inquire about my health and remind me to avoid stress.
If you have made the decision to undergo an egg donation procedure abroad, my partner and I highly recommend Ira and his team at The Embryon Family. Their attitude, sensitivity, professionalism, and transparency have made all the difference in our journey.
Sending lots of positive vibes and good fortune to your mom's to be! And a huge thank you to Ira for being a true blessing in our lives.
The level of care I experienced was truly exceptional. Here, you’re more than just a number. The attention is personalized, coordinated, and one-on-one, which is something you won’t find anywhere else. I’m now expecting, and I owe it all to Ira and The Embryon Family.
This marks my second experience with The Embryon Family, and they have delivered outstanding support and care throughout my journeys. Ira serves as my surrogate coach and liaison, and each time I've been with him has been remarkable. From the beginning, his team has shown immense support, compassion, and professionalism. Ira has guided me and others I've referred through every phase of the process with patience and care, making my journey feel both manageable and joyful. Every referral I've made to The Embryon Family has expressed satisfaction with their care and guidance during their journey.
Communication was consistently prompt, and I felt appreciated and respected at all times. Whether it was addressing questions, supplying resources, or simply offering a kind word when necessary, Ira has continually exceeded expectations.
I am genuinely thankful for their commitment and the positive influence they've had on my life. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Embryon Family to anyone contemplating this path.
We had such a wonderful experience working with Embryon Ukraine, and we can’t say enough good things about Ira! From the very beginning, he was there to guide us with clear advice and a level of professionalism that really stood out. At 47, we knew our case would require careful coordination, and Ira’s expertise and hands-on approach made all the difference.
He took us through every step of the egg donation process, helping us understand our options and handling all the details from start to finish. Thanks to his support and the fantastic team at Embryon, we felt confident and reassured throughout our journey.
After our second embryo transfer, we were over the moon to discover that we’re expecting! We’re incredibly grateful for Ira’s knowledge, openness, and steadfast support during this time.
If you’re considering this path, we wholeheartedly recommend Ira and the team at Embryon Ukraine. You’ll be in great hands!
