The UK Programmes
Currently, the needs of Recipients wishing for treatment in the UK can be fulfilled in two different ways – through altruistic donation or egg sharing.
Altruistic Egg Donation in the UK
We work closely with our patients to resolve the problem of the shortage of donors and the associated waiting time. As part of this support, we provide detailed advice and assistance to patients who decide to find a donor themselves.
One option is to recruit a known donor. This can be a relative or a friend who is prepared to donate eggs on your behalf. The eggs can be donated to you directly or, alternatively, to Bridge, in which case you will be automatically placed at the top of our waiting list for immediate treatment. It is a very sensible and logical approach to seek help from someone close to you.
A second option is to recruit an anonymous donor. This can be more difficult but has achieved results for a number of our patients. Ask for a copy of our Donor Recruitment Pack which tells you all about the support and practical assistance we give you if you choose to take your own donor recruitment initiative.
It is also important to mention that, unfortunately, eggs from ethnic minorities are rarely donated altruistically and we strongly recommend Active Donor Recruitment in these cases.
Identifying information about the donor will be given, on request, to any child born as a result of a Recipient Programme as UK law enables children born as a result of donation to request identifying information about the donor on reaching the age of 18.
To find out more call Admissions on 020 7089 1449 or email admissions2@thebridgecentre.co.uk for initial information on our UK Egg Donation Recipient programme.
Why Egg Sharing might be the right way for you
For many people, the first response to encountering a personal problem with fertility is "Why me?" or "Why us?" and your feelings may range from anger to deep sadness and depression.
The good news is that your chances of overcoming the issues you face are improving as ongoing research and development in the field of reproductive medicine leads to better results for every category of patient.
Even so, one of the most important things you can do is to understand the treatment options available to you and get your treatment strategy right. We will help you to do this and one of the approaches we may suggest, depending on your medical and financial circumstances, is Egg Sharing.
Egg sharing significantly reduces your treatment costs and is an approach which is being used successfully by an increasingly wide range of people who have understood the benefits and taken appropriate action.
