I. Frozen Egg Donation Program
Due to Covid, we recommend using frozen oocytes, not fresh ones, because oocytes are only frozen if the Covid test is negative at the time of oocytes collection.
The oocytes are collected from the donor and frozen. After that the cells are kept in quarantine and during that time the tests for infections are done repeatedly and only then the eggs can be used. Its aim is to rule out the existence of a minimum risk for infections (such as HIV or hepatitis B and C), which can not be ruled out by using fresh oocytes.
Frozen eggs are convenient to use, as there is no need to wait for a donor preparation and would not need synchronization with the donor, and there is no risk that something can happen to the donor ( eg. wrong reaction to the drug, donor becomes ill, family problems occur, etc.). Before fertilization, the oocytes are thawed and fertilization is carried out by using ICSI.
Six frozen oocytes are usually sufficient to get one or two embryos to be transferred (if the semen has good quality). In case one embryo is transferred, then the other one would be frozen and could be used later. Only very good oocytes are frozen. Over 90% of oocytes survives thawing..
- Pregnancy rate ~60% when transferring 2 embryos and ~40% when transferring 1 embryo. Given the risks associated with multiple pregnancies to the health of the child and the mother, we recommend to transfer only one embryo. Transferring two embryos increases the chance of pregnancy, not a healthy baby..
- No waiting list.
- The recipient can select the most desirable donor from the oocyte donor list, who’s frozen eggs they would like to use. Oocytes are frozen in 2, 3 or 4 batches in one vial. Therefore, it is not possible to use exactly 6 oocytes from all donors, in some cases a minimum of 7 or 8 eggs can be used. The doctor will inform you of the minimum number of eggs that can be used on the donor you have chosen. Information on availability of oocyte donor on the appropriate time for you would be sent to you by e-mail. If “not in Estonia” is written under the selection of donors, it means that this donor has the full number of children in Estonia and only foreigners can use this donor. You can book frozen donor eggs for 4 months, not for longer period. In case you want to cancel booking the donor, you will loose 10% of payment (185€)..
- The recipient preparation will take place at Elite Clinic.
Price for a recipient who does not have Eesti Haigekassa insurance and who has the preparation abroad (the recipient’s preparation is not done at Elite Clinic. Price includes instructions and consultations by e-mail / telephone): 5850 EUR.
Price includes:
- Access to the donor list, selection of the donor by the recipient, counseling for the selection of the donor by the doctor, 6 frozen oocytes (before the oocytes are frozen, treatment costs for the oocyte donor – tests, analyses, preparations for the procedure, medications for the donor during the preparation, retrieving oocytes from the donor, freezing oocytes, thawing oocytes, semen preparation, oocyte fertilization using ICSI method, embryo incubation during 2-3 days, IVF laboratory fees, embryo transfer to the recipient).

On request, for example, after giving birth, it is possible to book frozen eggs for the future for the next child.
