IVF Financing & Using Donor Eggs Guide

When the decision is made to pursue IVF with donor eggs, many choose frozen donor eggs as a more cost-effective choice over fresh donor eggs. But a donor egg IVF cycle can still be costly, and health insurance options for donor egg treatments remain limited. We’ve compiled some important information about Fairfax EggBank costs, frozen donor egg financing options, tips you may not have considered, and resources you may not have known were available. Donor egg IVF using frozen donor eggs can be more accessible.

Fairfax EggBank Frozen Donor Egg Financing Options

Here at Fairfax EggBank, our pricing is simple and straightforward with no hidden fees or unexpected costs. A standard cohort of donor eggs costs are standard. We offer multiple financing options to provide more intended parents the opportunity to grow their families. In addition, we offer an embryo development guarantee, giving eligible clients a free replacement of donor eggs if the first set of donor eggs did not meet our quality-standard criteria.
We also offer a Military Discount ($690 in savings): We support our military members and veterans building families by offering free shipping.

In addition, we offer a 3-Cohort Bundle (18-24 oocytes). A one-time purchase of 3 cohorts is available at a special price. The Fairfax EggBank Embryo Development Guarantee applies to each cohort, so there is a 3-embryo guarantee with this option.

Financing

For those who wish to break out payments over time, we have some amazing financing partners. To learn more about our financing partner check out our Costs & Financing Option Page.

Other finance companies also offer fertility financing, but do your homework: some plans do not support the use of frozen donor eggs. RESOLVE, the national infertility association, has a roundup of other financing options, including special programs for veterans suffering from infertility.

Crowdfunding

If you followed our blog series, Trisha’s Journey, you’ll know that crowdfunding can serve as a creative way to gather support from your friends, family, and even strangers. Trisha raised nearly $10,000 using GoFundMe – she even printed postcards and sent them to celebrities. There are many people who have gone through similar experiences and/or can empathize with those experiencing infertility, and are eagerly looking to help strangers in need. If you are open to sharing your story, then crowdfunding can potentially help you finance your treatment.
Another exciting crowdfunding option is a gift registry service, such as Deposit a Gift. You might think that a gift registry is only for china patterns and chafing dishes. But today, registries extend beyond weddings and babies, and can even extend towards those needing support to finance fertility treatment. With a personalized website, you can share your experience with family and friends and give them an opportunity to provide you with financial and emotional support.

Grants

We also encourage you to search for grants that help support select patients finance their fertility treatment. Here’s a rundown of several foundations and nonprofits that offer grants or scholarships:

• The Tinina Q. Cade Foundation is an annual award that provides up to $10,000 to needy, infertile families.
• The Baby Quest Foundation also offers grants to couples who cannot afford a wide range of fertility treatments, including egg donation.

Other Financial Options

If you’re on the quest to achieve a pregnancy, it’s worth exploring other financial options that might be available:

• Credit card financing: Shop around for a better rate, and consider using a mileage card or other card with rewards.
• Tax-write offs: Medical treatment for infertility can be deducted. Make sure to document and itemize every medical expense.

With thought, planning, and creativity, IVF using frozen donor eggs can be affordable.
