7 Best Egg Donation Agencies and Egg Banks in 2026

Last updated August 2026. Every figure below comes from the provider's own published source.

At Donor Nexus, we believe your path to parenthood should be defined by what works best for you. But that can be hard to find when you are overwhelmed with choices, including which egg bank or donor agency to work with. 

Which egg donation agency or egg bank is best for you?

The best egg donation agency or egg bank comes down to which model fits your situation: a frozen egg bank (fastest, affordable, eggs already in storage) or a fresh matching agency (a donor cycle run for you, costs more and takes longer, but yields more eggs).

Beyond the model, the programs below differ most on what outcome data they publish, how clearly they price, what their guarantees actually cover, and whether you can keep your own clinic.

In this article

The best egg donation agencies and egg banks in 2026

Below, we compared seven of the most widely used egg banks and agencies to help you make a confident, informed decision. First, an overview of the seven programs compared in this article:

Egg donation agency and egg bank ratings

A comprehensive comparison of the top egg banks and agencies in the U.S.

1. Donor Nexus

Model: Fresh matching agency, frozen egg bank, and donor embryo program

Best fit: Intended parents who want more choice, whether that's comparing fresh and frozen donor eggs or considering a donor embryo, with varying levels of openness for each.

Location: Newport Beach, California

Founded: 2012

Works with your existing clinic. Donor Nexus coordinates directly with whichever fertility clinic you use, including ones it has not worked with before. If you have not chosen a clinic yet, it has partnered with 150+ clinics over 14 years and can suggest options near you.

Published outcomes

Donor Nexus publishes outcome data for each program separately, current through 2025. Pregnancy and live birth data are held by your own clinic and are not reported back, so Donor Nexus does not publish it.

• 90.7% egg survival rate after thaw
• 83.1% fertilization rate of survived eggs (ICSI fertilization)
• 81.1% of patients obtained at least one embryo
• 60.5% of patients obtained two or more embryos

Guarantees

• The Frozen Egg Bank includes a blastocyst guarantee:  At least one blastocyst suitable for transfer, freezing, or biopsy by day 7 per 6-egg cohort. Requires semen criteria to be met.  Does not guarantee a euploid embryo.
• The Fresh Matching Program does not carry a formal guarantee. Fresh cycles come with published outcome data instead: an average of 7.2 euploid embryos per retrieval,  so multiple chances for success are built into the program without the need to upgrade for additional guarantees.

Pricing

• Frozen Egg Bank: $19,500 to $29,500 per 6-egg cohort. Includes the Blastocyst Embryo Guarantee.
• Fresh Matching Program from $29,600. Pricing includes donor compensation, travel expenses, agency fees, psychological evaluation, genetic counseling, donor legal fees, escrow fees, and temporary donor medical insurance.

2. Fairfax EggBank

Best for: Intended parents who want a wide clinic network.

Model: Frozen egg bank

Location: Fairfax, Virginia

Founded: 2006, as part of the Genetics & IVF Institute

Fairfax reports 468 clinic affiliations, the largest published network here. Cohorts contain 6 to 8 eggs. You can browse donors and reserve online without going through a clinic first.

Published outcomes

Fairfax publishes outcomes from the year 2025 and is explicit that the numbers are an average of its 450+ partner clinics. Ask your clinic for its own donor egg numbers alongside these.

• 91% egg thaw survival

• 69% of cases producing two or more embryos

• 67% pregnancy rate

Guarantees

Fairfax publishes a Blastocyst Guarantee: at least one blastocyst usable for transfer, biopsy, or cryopreservation with each paid cohort. Sperm parameters apply. Their Parenthood Promise and Parenthood Promise+ plans provide access to up to six cohorts; a medical evaluation is required, and plan pricing for both tiers is not published online.

Pricing

Pricing begins at $16,350; cohort-level pricing, what is included at that price, and Parenthood Promise plan costs are not listed publicly.

3. MyEggBank

Best for: Patients already established at a large fertility practice in the U.S. or Canada.

Model: Frozen egg bank with fresh options at some centers

Location: Network model across North America

Founded: 2010

MyEggBank distributes frozen donor eggs through a network of affiliate fertility clinics, reporting 275 affiliate clinics. Registration is limited to intended parents already seeking treatment at one of MyEggBank's affiliate clinics.

Published outcomes

We could not locate thaw survival, fertilization, blastocyst development, or pregnancy rates published centrally with a year range attached.

Guarantees

Tiered assurance program options for purchase, including:

• Egg Survival Program: six eggs shipped to your center, with four of the six ensured to survive the thaw. If not, you may qualify for another six eggs at no charge.
• Single Embryo Program: six eggs, with four ensured to survive thaw plus at least one blastocyst embryo. Electing PGT testing on the embryos voids the terms of this program.
• Additional programs available.

MyEggBank notes that every program ensuring blastocyst embryos carries qualifying requirements for your sperm source.

Pricing

MyEggBank's own cost guide puts frozen donor egg cycles at roughly $18,000 to $20,000 and fresh cycles at $25,000 to $35,000 or more. 

A 3% card processing fee applies to credit and debit transactions.

4. Donor Egg Bank USA

Best for: Intended parents prioritizing financial protection, if their clinic participates and they qualify medically.

Model: Frozen egg bank

Location: Rockville, Maryland (a CooperSurgical brand)

Founded: 2012 

Independent standing: Donor Egg Bank USA does not appear to have an active business profile or accreditation listed with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Donor Egg Bank USA is a CooperSurgical brand selling frozen egg lots through a network of approved fertility practices. Lots contain 5 to 8 mature eggs, and buyers choose among five financial plans that bundle eggs, treatment, or both.

Published outcomes

Donor Egg Bank USA publishes outcomes from 2012 through 2023. 

• 89% oocyte survival rate
• 63% pregnancy rate

Guarantees

The Blastocyst Guarantee: at least one blastocyst available for transfer, freezing, or biopsy. Euploid embryos not guaranteed. Sperm parameters apply. 

The Assured Refund Plan requires medical approval, including a mock cycle to verify the uterine lining, and is offered only at practices contracted for package plans.

Pricing

Pricing starts at $18,900 for one cohort of 6-8 frozen eggs.

5. Cofertility

Best for: Intended parents who prefer a non-cash-compensation donor model.

Model: Fresh and frozen egg donation, egg sharing structure

Location: Los Angeles, California

Founded: 2022

Cofertility works exclusively under an egg sharing model where donors receive no cash compensation and instead keep half the eggs retrieved. Intended parents receive the other half.  

Published outcomes

Cofertility does not appear to publicly share thaw survival, fertilization, embryo development, or pregnancy rates.

Guarantees

• Fresh: at least two blastocyst embryos, across a maximum of three total retrievals. If you're eligible for a rematch, your Cofertility coordination fee will be waived, but you will cover the clinic and third-party expenses for the new donor's screening and retrieval. 
• Frozen: 6 to 9 eggs guarantees 1 blastocyst embryo; 10 to 15 guarantees 2; 16 to 21 guarantees 3; 22 or more guarantees 4. Cofertility rematches you with a new donor at no additional Cofertility fee, using a full or partial cohort. 
• Not covered in both guarantees: a genetically normal (euploid) embryo, or anything after the embryo creation phase, including transfer outcomes, PGT-A results, and pregnancy or live birth.

Pricing

Fresh is a $500 match initiation fee, a $10,000 coordination fee, and roughly $6,500 in third-party expenses covering legal, background checks, storage, and insurance. You will be responsible for any additional costs related to the donor's travel.

Important to note: splitting a retrieval means fewer eggs to you than a full fresh cycle at a traditional agency.

Frozen is a $500 match initiation fee, then priced per egg on a sliding scale: $3,500 each for 6 to 9 eggs, $3,300 each for 10 to 15 eggs, and $3,100 each for 16 or more eggs. Their own worked example puts a 7-egg cohort at $24,500. 

6. The World Egg and Sperm Bank

Best for: Intended parents who want donor eggs and donor sperm from the same source, or who need flexible cohort assembly.

Model: Frozen egg bank and sperm bank

Location: Scottsdale, Arizona

Founded: 2004

TWESB describes itself as the first independent egg bank and manages recruitment, processing, and storage in-house.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an egg bank and an egg donation agency?

An egg bank stores eggs that have already been retrieved and vitrified, so once you select a donor, the eggs ship to your clinic within weeks. An agency coordinates a fresh cycle in which a donor stimulates and retrieves specifically for you, which takes several months but typically produces far more eggs. Some programs, including Donor Nexus, operate both.

Which egg bank has the best success rates?

No direct ranking is possible from public data, because programs measure different things over different periods and report them on different bases.

Among those publishing figures with a year range: Donor Nexus reports 90.7% egg thaw survival and 81.1% of patients obtaining at least one blastocyst, 2012 to 2025. Fairfax reports a 67% pregnancy rate for 2025, averaged across its partner clinics. Donor Egg Bank USA reports a 63% pregnancy rate across 2012 to 2023. 

Once eggs or embryos reach your clinic, what happens next depends on that clinic's lab, your treatment plan, and your own medical picture. Pregnancy and live birth data sits with your treating physician and is not systematically reported back. 

If you see a live birth rate advertised, ask which clinics and which patients are in the denominator, what years it covers, and how many cycles sit behind it. 

Where to start
