For many hopeful parents, the road to parenthood is anything but straightforward. Infertility affects 1 in 6 individuals worldwide, and factors such as age, medical conditions, and genetic considerations may make natural conception difficult. The emotional toll can be immense and involves years of unsuccessful treatments, physical stress from medical procedures, and the psychological weight of dashed hopes. LGBTQ+ couples and single parents additionally face unique difficulties in accessing fertility options.
While the challenges to parenthood can seem insurmountable, egg donation has transformed the fertility treatment landscape and opens doors that may have once seemed closed. It empowers intended mothers to carry and give birth to their children while still fostering a deep biological and emotional connection through epigenetics.
For couples who have undergone multiple unsuccessful IVF cycles, egg donation can significantly improve the chances of conception and plays a crucial role in helping LGBTQ+ individuals and couples realize their dreams of parenthood. Donor eggs paired with a gestational carrier allow same sex male couples the opportunity to have a child that is theirs biologically.
Donor Nexus is dedicated to helping every loving individual and family experience the joy of parenthood as we strive to make family-building more accessible and inclusive. Through comprehensive egg and embryo donation programs, we provide personalized egg donation options to help you navigate a clear path forward. This blog explores egg donation opportunities, how Donor Nexus supports our intended parents, and why others like you have chosen egg donation.
How Donor Nexus Supports Intended Parents
Donor Nexus Egg Bank is committed to providing transparent information and the guidance needed to embark on your egg donation journey. We offer several egg and embryo donation programs tailored to meet the unique needs of each intended parent:
Fresh Egg One-on-One Cycle: Intended parents receive all eggs retrieved in a fresh egg cycle. Because eggs can be frozen for the future, this can be an excellent option for intended parents who hope to have more than one child.
Frozen Donor Egg Banking: Intended parents select from our database of donors who already donated their eggs, which are now frozen. Frozen eggs can be shipped to wherever you are, and the process can begin immediately rather than waiting for a donor to begin her cycle.
Premier Egg Donor Program: You gain access to exclusive, high-quality donors with personalized matching and tailored support. You can still choose between frozen egg banking and fresh one-on-one cycles with our premier egg donation program.
Donor Embryo Program: Our donor embryo program uses embryos donated by those who have undergone previous IVF cycles. No wait list or home study is required, and intended parents can also find their perfect donor match in our database.
We are dedicated to understanding your needs and goals so we can help find the best program fit for you. Contact us today for a free consultation to learn more about our programs.

One grateful parent from Australia shared:
“I can’t believe my journey has come to an end with IVF. It has been a long, painful 10 years of my life to conceive both kids. I want to say a big thank you for your support and understanding! I am so glad I turned to your clinic and agency. I made the right choice. My son is a very proud big brother. Thank you so much for giving me the gift of a life-changing miracle!” – S.K., Intended Parent
Stories of Hope from Our Intended Parents
Every journey to parenthood is unique, filled with challenges, resilience, and the joy of new beginnings. We are honored to hear and be part of so many inspiring stories!
Meta’s Difficult Decision to Use Donor Eggs
Meta had always dreamed of carrying her own child, but after years of fertility treatments and multiple failed IVF cycles, it became clear that continuing with IVF may not be the answer. When her doctor initially suggested egg donation, she was devastated.
Would she still feel connected to her baby? Would this truly feel like her child? As Meta navigated these fears, she sought support and guidance. With compassion and expertise, the Donor Nexus team helped her understand the process and feel empowered in her decision.
“Choosing to use donor eggs was not the path I expected, and it was not an easy decision, but it was the best one I’ve ever made.”
Meta welcomed beautiful twin girls into the world–gifts that made every challenge and moment of heartbreak worth it. Today, despite initial struggles, she is deeply grateful for the path that gave her her girls. Her story is a powerful reminder that there is a path forward even in the face of devastating pain and difficult decisions.
How Mary Overcame Cancer and Found Success with Embryo Donation
Mary's journey to motherhood is a testament to resilience and hope. At 39, she was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. This is the most aggressive type of cancer, requiring immediate chemotherapy and radiation treatments, and she was left with no time to preserve her fertility. Despite the high likelihood of infertility post-treatment, Mary continued to menstruate regularly, and she was given a glimmer of hope for future children.
Six years after her recovery, a conversation with her mother reignited her desire for motherhood. At 46 and cancer-free, Mary consulted with a fertility specialist who informed her that natural conception was unlikely due to her age and prior cancer treatments, but donor embryos would be an option.
Donor Nexus provided Mary with a life-changing opportunity to experience pregnancy and childbirth through embryo donation. She was able to view embryo donors from our database and quickly made a decision.
“It's hard to explain the feeling I got when I saw the young lady in the picture. Not only was she beautiful but a good person that was willing to donate her eggs to help somebody in my situation.”
With Donor Nexus’s support, Mary underwent the necessary medical procedures, and the embryo transfer was successful on the first attempt. She welcomed her son, Jaxon, into the world and fulfilled this long-held dream of motherhood.
“I am so grateful to my doctor and especially Donor Nexus for making all of this possible… I also want for whoever is reading this to know that you too can have what your heart desires. It is never too late and please do not give up no matter what kind of circumstances you are under. Follow your heart and believe in the process.”
Mary's experience exemplifies the importance of hope and perseverance through adversity. We could not have been more excited to support Mary on her journey and watch her experience this miracle that she so deserved.
