Egg Donation (Oocyte Donation)

One of the most exciting and significant advances in reproductive medicine has been the introduction of egg donation. Egg donation can help a woman bear children, even if she is experiencing infertility due to a low number or low quality of eggs. Egg donation was originally developed for women who had experienced menopause (complete depletion of eggs) or for women who were born without functioning ovaries. Today, egg donation is most commonly used by women who are experiencing age-related infertility.

We have been facilitating egg donation for our patients since 1990, working extensively with anonymous and known donors (usually relatives or friends of the recipient parents). We have an in-house registry of egg donors who are local to San Jose and surrounding cities in the Bay Area. We follow ASRM guidelines carefully to ensure privacy and well-being for everyone involved.
