Fertility Treatments
For many, choosing donor eggs comes after years of challenges and grief, and can mark the beginning of a new chapter filled with hope. Since 1991, our expert team, supported by the UK’s largest frozen egg bank, has guided patients with compassionate care and personalised advice. With carefully screened UK-sourced eggs from altruistic donors, we help you take the next step with confidence toward building your family.
Donor egg treatment helps individuals and couples grow their family when using their own eggs isn’t possible. At London Women’s Clinic, carefully screened UK sourced donor eggs are fertilised through IVF to create embryos, which are then gently placed in the womb to begin the journey toward pregnancy.
Using donor eggs can open the door to parenthood when your own eggs can’t. It can also be a route to success after challenges such as repeated IVF cycles, recurrent miscarriage or early menopause. For many, it’s not just a treatment - it represents the chance to carry a pregnancy and become a parent. With eggs from young, carefully screened altruistic donors, success rates are strong, with live birth outcomes of around 36-42% per embryo transferred, for patients up to the age of 50.
With decades of experience and thousands of successful cycles, our doctors combine scientific expertise with compassionate care to give you the best possible chance of success.
Deciding to use donor eggs can feel emotionally complex, and that’s completely natural. Many people experience feelings of grief and loss before starting this journey. With the right support and information, donor egg treatment can offer the possibility of building a family.
Donor egg IVF provides an incredible opportunity for many people who might otherwise struggle to conceive. Whether due to medical conditions, age, or other fertility challenges, using donor eggs can help make pregnancy - and parenthood - possible.
This treatment is often recommended for:
When the ovaries stop producing viable eggs earlier than expected, donor eggs can offer a reliable path to conception.
As egg quality naturally declines with age or certain health issues, donor eggs from a younger egg donor can significantly increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.
For those who’ve faced multiple unsuccessful IVF cycles or recurrent pregnancy loss, donor eggs may improve embryo quality and support a healthy pregnancy.
Donor eggs make it possible for same-sex male couples and single individuals to grow their families through surrogacy or assisted reproductive treatments.
Transitioning from treatments using your own eggs to donor eggs can bring a mix of emotions, and that’s completely normal. You may feel a sense of loss over the genetic connection you had hoped for and it’s natural to grieve the path to parenthood you once imagined. These feelings are valid and part of the emotional journey.
Our experienced counsellors are here to help you process these emotions and move forward with confidence and compassion.
Using donor eggs is a carefully guided process designed to give you the best chance of starting or growing your family. From your first consultation to support after embryo transfer, your fertility team is with you every step of the way.
You and your donor undergo medical checks and counselling to make sure everyone is ready - physically, emotionally and medically. This helps tailor the process to your needs.
You can choose a donor based on medical compatibility, appearance and personal preferences. Through our partnership with London Egg Bank, you also have access to frozen donor eggs from over 300 UK-recruited donors, so you can start your journey without delay.
In both cases, the embryos are carefully monitored as they grow.
The transfer is usually quick and painless, giving your embryo the best chance to settle in.
Your care doesn’t stop there - your team will support you through pregnancy testing and every step of your journey.
Every patient’s fertility journey is unique. We want you to feel informed, supported and confident in your choices from the very beginning.
Your donor egg treatment can be tailored to your medical needs and family plans:
Eggs are collected from the donor and used immediately in IVF treatment, without freezing or warming.
Embryos can be created using your partner’s sperm or a carefully screened donor, depending on what works best for your family.
Some patients benefit from shared programmes, which can reduce costs and expand options.
Eggs are collected and frozen in advance, offering flexibility, faster scheduling and convenient planning.
If you’re having treatment at a licensed UK fertility clinic, donors have no legal rights or responsibilities for children born from their donation. All treatment is regulated by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), ensuring donors and recipients remain anonymous to each other. Children born through donation after 1 April 2005 can access identifying information about their donor at age 18.
For donors this means:

*Numbers from 2004 - 2025
Our sister donor bank, London Egg Bank have frozen more than 30,000 eggs and thawed more than 16,000 - the largest number in the UK.
Choosing an egg donor is one of the most important parts of your journey and we believe those decisions should be guided by evidence.
Research* from the London Egg Bank (LEB), our sister donor bank, drew on 494 donors and 559 recipients to better understand what gives you the best chance of success.
Interestingly, the findings showed that the very youngest donors aren't always the best choice - an insight that helps inform our approach.
It's just one of the ways evidence and experience work quietly behind the scenes to give you the best possible start.

‘We started our treatment in July, and I have had a very positive experience with this clinic. Lorraine on reception especially made me feel like nothing was too much trouble and always knew me by name which is such a nice personal touch, especially at such a sensitive time. Along with Dr Safwat Ashour he always recommended the best treatment for us and just had such a kind caring attitude towards us while explaining our options and being very honest with us too. One of the nurses (so sorry I can’t remember your name) she only recently started in July and I felt so at home with her and cared for.

All donors undergo a comprehensive screening process before joining London Egg Bank. This includes medical, fertility, lifestyle, psychological and genetic assessments to ensure safety, suitability and high-quality eggs.
You’ll be able to browse the London Egg Bank donor catalogue, which includes rich, thoughtful profiles of every approved donor. Many people choose donors based on shared physical characteristics, ethnicity, personality traits or values - or simply on what feels like the right fit for their future family.
Yes, fertilisation and success rates for frozen eggs are comparable to fresh eggs, meaning treatment can begin without waiting for a donor cycle.
It’s normal to experience loss, uncertainty or mixed emotions. Counselling and emotional support are available throughout your journey to help you process these feelings. Through our partnership with London Egg Bank, you also get access to Paths to ParentHub, a supportive resource for those using our donor eggs. Additionally, we encourage connecting with the Donor Conception Network, which provides guidance, peer support and community for donor-conceived families.
Donor eggs enable single individuals and same-sex couples to grow their families via IVF or surrogacy.
The uterus does not age in the same way the ovaries and eggs do. The chances of your conceiving are therefore barely affected by your age at treatment.
At London Women’s Clinic, we combine decades of clinical expertise with compassionate, patient-focused care. Our pioneering donor egg programmes, advanced laboratories, and personalised support ensure that every family has the guidance, choice and treatment they need on their journey to parenthood.
Every family journey begins with a single step. Our team is here to provide clear information, guidance and support as you explore the possibilities with donor eggs.
