Donor egg banks in the uk

[Anisha29]

Hi fellow ivf warriors,

I am embarking on my donor egg journey and wondering if there are any other UK egg banks apart from London Egg Bank and Apricity?

I'm not keen on using a clinic abroad. I have been in talks with one but had loads of issues with them not meeting the HFEA requirements so looking to providers in the UK now.

Thank you

CARE have an egg bank, it’s not as big as London but we found our donor through them relatively quickly (3 months). They have a bit of a faffy way of choosing the donors and being sent the info but that’s their policy. I was interested in the London egg bank but they weren’t paired with any clinics in my area (Yorkshire) x

Thank you. That's good to know that CARE have their own bank.

I’m using an agency called new life in the uk. It’s a bit more expensive than an egg bank but because it’s a fresh cycle you get all the eggs so there are more chances. Matching was really quick and they work with lots of different clinics.

Thank you everyone. That's really helpful that there are more choices than just the ones I listed. I may contact CARE and New Life.
