Fertility Treatments
Egg sharing gives women going through IVF the chance to help someone else build their family at the same time. It’s a meaningful act of support during a deeply personal journey. Our pioneering programme combines leading expertise with genuine compassion and research-led care, so you feel supported every step of the way.
Egg sharing is a way for women going through IVF to help someone who can’t produce their own eggs. During your IVF cycle, you choose to donate some of the eggs collected to another patient who needs them. In return, many egg sharers receive a reduced-cost IVF treatment.
It’s a supportive, community-minded option that can make a life-changing difference for two families at once.
Egg sharing has deep roots at London Women’s Clinic. Over 20 years ago, our Scientific and Managing Director, Dr Kamal Ahuja, co-pioneered the creation of egg sharing, helping to shape a programme that has since supported thousands of women worldwide.
Today, LWC remains the home of egg sharing, offering a pioneering programme with consistently high success rates and a long-standing commitment to compassionate, research-led care.
Egg sharing is entirely voluntary, and patients should never feel pressured to participate. Counselling is available to help you weigh the emotional, ethical and medical aspects, so you can make an informed decision that’s right for you. Please note that egg-sharing is not available at our Darlington clinic.
You can decide to change your mind at any time before an embryo created with your eggs is transferred. The recipient’s identity is always kept confidential, so you won’t meet them. Later, when a child conceived from your donated eggs turns 18, they have the option to contact you, in line with UK law.
Blood tests and medical checks confirm suitability.
Enough eggs are collected to support both sharer and recipient.
Your eggs are divided between your treatment and the recipient’s treatment.
Both patients are closely monitored by our specialist team throughout their cycles.
Ongoing support is provided before, during, and after treatment.
Our Egg Sharing Success in Numbers
Egg sharing has long been central to the care we provide at London Women's Clinic. Our Scientific and Medical Director, Dr. Kamal Ahuja, was a co-pioneer of egg sharing in the UK introducing approaches that widened access to fertility treatment while supporting patients and donors alike.
At its heart, egg sharing is about two hopes being realised at once - as one person undergoes their own treatment, they share some of their eggs with another individual or couple longing to start a family.
That pioneering work continues to shape the care we provide today and the results speak for themselves:
Since 2011, egg sharing at our clinic has helped bring many new lives into the world and for some families, more than one, with several donors and recipients returning to welcome a second child.
The cost of egg-sharing IVF can vary depending on your treatment plan, any additional tests, and whether donor sperm is required. Additional services, such as extended embryo culture, embryo storage, pre-treatment investigations or donor sperm, may incur extra costs. Optional genetic testing or procedures may also be recommended in some cases.

We have always been met with care, compassion and a personal approach. Every step from the initial consultation right through to the 7 week scan has been professional and polite, always accommodating our needs and timings.

Stay informed about the latest seminars, webinars and workshops on fertility and Egg Sharing.
PGT-A is an optional test that may help some people having IVF understand more about the chromosomal status of their embryos before deciding which to transfer. It can be useful in certain circumstances, and has been shown to reduce the risk of miscarriage, but it isn’t suitable or necessary for everyone.
There isn't one route to building a family as a trans or non-binary person and you don't need to have it all figured out before you start. From egg, sperm and embryo freezing to IVF, donor options and surrogacy, here's a clear guide to what may be possible for you, before or after gender-affirming care.
