Choosing the right donor option is one of the most important decisions in your fertility journey. Intended parents may need donor eggs, donor embryos, or donor sperm, depending on their medical history, diagnosis, and family goals. Each option carries unique benefits, costs, and considerations.
At Surrogacy4All, we offer one of the largest in-house donor databases, including over 1,000 screened egg donors, a guaranteed blastocyst program, and nationwide sperm and embryo options. This guide compares donor eggs, donor embryos, and donor sperm to help you make an informed choice.
Donor gametes and embryos make parenthood possible for individuals and couples who cannot conceive with their own eggs or sperm. This includes women with diminished ovarian reserve, men with severe infertility, LGBTQ+ couples, and families with genetic concerns.
Donor eggs are commonly used when a woman cannot produce viable eggs due to age, poor ovarian reserve, or genetic disorders. Egg donors are rigorously screened for health, genetics, and psychological readiness.
Donor egg IVF has some of the highest success rates in fertility medicine. Live birth rates can reach 60–70% per transfer, especially when embryos are grown to the blastocyst stage.
In the U.S., donor egg IVF costs $35,000–$60,000 per cycle. Surrogacy4All offers guaranteed blastocyst programs and competitive pricing with transparent packages.
Donor embryos are created from donated eggs and sperm. They may come from couples who completed their family and donated unused embryos, or they may be specifically created using donors. This is often the most affordable donor option.
Embryo selection from available donor pools.
Embryo thawing and transfer into the recipient or surrogate.
Standard IVF support and monitoring.
Success rates depend on the embryo quality and the donor’s age. On average, live birth rates range from 40–50% per transfer.
Embryo adoption or donation cycles often cost $10,000–$20,000, significantly less than egg donor IVF.
Donor sperm is commonly used for single women, LGBTQ+ couples, or cases of severe male factor infertility. Sperm donors undergo health and genetic screening before being added to donor banks.
Selection of donor sperm from a sperm bank.
Insemination via IUI, IVF, or use in donor egg cycles.
Embryo development and transfer.
IUI success rates with donor sperm are 10–20% per cycle. IVF with donor sperm has higher rates, often 40–60% depending on egg quality.
Donor sperm vials typically cost $500–$1,500 each, not including IUI or IVF costs.
Anna, 42, had diminished ovarian reserve. She chose an egg donor through Surrogacy4All’s program. Her donor produced 16 eggs, resulting in 5 blastocysts. Two were transferred, and Anna delivered twins. She says: ‘Donor eggs gave me the gift of motherhood I thought I had lost.’
James and Laura adopted donor embryos after years of failed IVF attempts. The cost was one-third of traditional IVF. Laura became pregnant on her first transfer. James says: ‘We’re so grateful another family’s gift gave us our daughter.’
Maria, 35, a single mom by choice, used donor sperm with IUI. On her third cycle, she became pregnant. Maria says: ‘It was empowering to make this choice and build my family on my terms.’
