Indian Egg Donor Options

With over one billion Indians, the largest pool of Indian egg donors is available in India. We have two types of egg donors available:

Paid Donors: These donors are from a variety of backgrounds. We are fully aware that in choosing an egg donor, you are not merely aiming to achieve a pregnancy, but also making choices about the genetic make-up of your future child. Our donors come from a variety of backgrounds, many of whom are housewives in the age range of 22 to 30, who already have 1 or 2 healthy children.

Egg-sharing program: These donors are patients of our IVF center in Delhi, India who are willing to donate half their eggs to you, in exchange for a waived or reduced-fee IVF cycle. These are young women from upper-middle class families, who have graduate degrees and work as lawyers, physicians or executives. They have been screened for regular IVF, which includes a total health assessment and a thorough infectious disease screening work up. Their eggs have been approved as healthy eggs that are ready for fertilization. Most women can donate 7-8 eggs per IVF cycle.

The Program in India

We have teamed up with some of the largest and best-known IVF physicians running programs with the latest fertility technology in India. These centers are located at major hospitals in New Delhi, India where we provide the donor eggs. Other IVF centers in India require you to come to India for monitoring and ultrasounds during the pre-donor preparation phase. For many couples this is a cost-prohibitive expense. When you partner with Indian Egg Donors, the initial 3-6 week pre-egg donor phase can be performed in the United States, and we will work closely with your current IVF physician to maximize success. After the initial pre-egg donor phase is finished, you will travel to New Delhi, India for about a week to complete the program. Here, the male gives a sperm specimen and our staff creates the embryos in the IVF laboratory, which are then implanted in the potential mother. You can return to the US within 3 days after the implantation. The program in India is designed to meet American IVF standards and all egg donors are screened medically in India to comply with FDA specifications for embryo transfers. We are one of the only centers in India to have such stringent health care specifications to ensure the healthy, disease-free transfer of embryos to recipients. The program in India is managed by gynecologists with over 20 years experience. As the program has been designed by New York City physicians, couples going to India for the egg donor program can expect the same level of treatment and expertise as they would at any major IVF clinic in America. Indian IVF clinics have achieved over 50% success rate, whereas the average US success rate is much lower (see CDC report 2003). Indian Egg Donor's success rate is 70-80%! .
