We run a range of Egg Donation Programmes in the UK and overseas. There are waiting lists for UK treatment which vary in length according to the availability of donors but, if treatment is required urgently, our international programmes provide immediate access to suitable donors.
The Bridge International Egg Recipient Programmes have been carefully developed to provide the highest possible standards of care and treatment. They differ from other overseas programmes in many important ways and the key advantages are summarised below.
Treatment “as soon as possible” is one of our main objectives and treatment through any of the International Egg Recipient Programmes will normally take place within 2-4 months.
The Bridge Programmes are: -
• Bridge International Egg Recipient Programmes
We un three quite different international programmes in Ukraine, Spain and the USA.
We believe that our Ukraine programme is the most comprehensive and fully-supported international programme available to UK recipients and success rates are high. Our programmes at approved centres in Spain and the USA give access to a very wide spectrum of donor characteristics and a number of different treatment options at different price points.
Close to 50% of participants have become parents in our Ukraine accompanied and fully supported programme - and, as the UK's most experienced centre for overseas egg donation, we will find the right programme for you.
• Bridge International Egg Sharing Programme
A successful and effective programme, hosted in Crete by a former Bridge fertility specialist, which is producing happy outcomes on a regular basis.
• Bridge UK Egg Donation Programme (with Active Donor Recruitment)
We work hard to find egg donors in the UK and you can beat the current shortage by taking active steps to find your own donor. We provide support at every stage.
• Bridge UK Egg Sharing Programme
An active and successful programme which we are expanding in order to increase the opportunities for UK treatment.
A special note about treatment outside the UK
The HFEA has advised patients against booking treatment overseas without the support of a licensed centre in the UK. We believe this to be the right advice. We have a wealth of experience in dealing with centres all over the world and standards vary considerably. After an evaluation of clinics worldwide, where suitable donors are available and the care and the medical facilities meet the high standards we have set, we currently work with three centres in Europe and one in the USA.
Bridge is licensed by the Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority to perform IVF, microsurgical fertilisations and treatments using donated eggs and sperm and to store genetic material.
