Who Needs Egg Donation?
Egg donation is used when the intended mother is unable to use her own eggs for IVF. This may be due to age, diminished ovarian reserve, a genetic condition, or a prior medical history that affects egg quality or availability. Single intended fathers and male same-sex couples also require a donor egg as part of their surrogacy journey.
Atlas coordinates egg donation as part of a complete surrogacy program. Donor egg IVF and surrogacy are managed together through our partner clinics and gestational carrier programs, so your journey is coordinated as a single integrated process rather than two separate engagements.
How Egg Donation Works at Atlas
Step 1
Donor SelectionAtlas works with partner egg donation programs in Mexico City, Cancun, and Bogotá that maintain databases of pre-screened donors. Intended parents review anonymous donor profiles — including physical characteristics, educational background, health history, and genetic screening results — and select a donor whose profile matches their preferences.
For intended parents seeking Asian donors, Atlas has dedicated resources and can coordinate access to Asian donor databases. See the Asian Donor Resources section below.
Step 2
Donor Medical ScreeningOnce a donor is selected, the partner clinic conducts a full medical and psychological screening of the donor to confirm her eligibility for an egg donation cycle. This includes hormonal testing, ovarian reserve assessment, infectious disease screening, and genetic carrier testing.
Step 3
Cycle SynchronizationThe donor's stimulation cycle is coordinated with the intended mother's uterine preparation (if applicable) or with the surrogacy timeline. Atlas coordinates communication between the clinic, the donor program, and the intended parents throughout this process.
Step 4
Egg RetrievalThe donor undergoes ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval at the partner clinic. The retrieved eggs are fertilized using the intended father's sperm or donor sperm to create embryos.
Step 5
Embryo Creation and IVF CoordinationFertilized embryos are cultured in the laboratory for 5 to 6 days to reach the blastocyst stage. Optional PGT-A genetic testing may be performed at this stage to assess chromosomal health before transfer. Viable embryos are vitrified and stored until the surrogate is ready for transfer.
Step 6
Embryo Transfer to SurrogateOnce embryos are created and the surrogate matching and legal process is complete, the embryo transfer is coordinated at the partner clinic. From this point, the journey follows the standard surrogacy pathway — see the Surrogacy page for full details.
Common Questions About Egg Donation
Can international intended parents use egg donation for surrogacy?
Yes. Many international intended parents use donor eggs as part of their surrogacy journey when creating embryos through IVF. Atlas Surrogacy coordinates with experienced fertility clinics and donor programs in Mexico and Colombia to help eligible intended parents access egg donation services as part of a comprehensive family-building plan.
Who typically needs an egg donor?
Egg donation may be recommended for intended mothers with diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, poor egg quality, genetic conditions they wish to avoid passing on, or unsuccessful IVF attempts using their own eggs. It is also commonly used by single intended fathers and male same-sex couples who require donor eggs to create embryos.
Can I choose my egg donor?
Yes. Depending on the partner fertility clinic and donor program, intended parents may review donor profiles that include medical history, physical characteristics, education, ethnicity, and other non-identifying information. Availability and profile details vary by clinic and country.
Can I use my own sperm or embryos with donor eggs?
Yes. In many cases, donor eggs can be fertilized using the intended father's sperm, donor sperm, or used alongside existing embryos if approved by the treating fertility clinic. Your fertility specialist will recommend the most appropriate treatment plan based on your medical circumstances.
What does Atlas Surrogacy coordinate during the egg donation process?
Atlas Surrogacy coordinates communication between intended parents, fertility clinics, egg donor programs, legal professionals, and surrogacy coordinators. Our team helps organize the process from donor selection through embryo creation and preparation for embryo transfer while medical decisions remain with your fertility specialists.
How long does the egg donation process usually take?
The timeline varies depending on donor availability, medical evaluations, IVF scheduling, and whether fresh or previously created embryos are being used. During your consultation, Atlas Surrogacy will explain the expected timeline based on your specific family-building goals.
Can international patients complete most of the process remotely?
In many cases, yes. Much of the planning, consultations, medical record review, donor selection, and coordination can be completed remotely. Depending on your treatment plan, travel may only be required for specific medical procedures or legal appointments.
