Welcome
Thank you for your interest in our Egg Sharing Programme, which Bridge has been running successfully for over 10 years with very gratifying results for all concerned. If you are in a position to join the Egg Sharing Programme as a donor, you receive free IVF treatment and will be able to proceed to treatment as soon as you have satisfactorily completed your screening tests. We also offer a Freeze and Share programme if you would prefer the option of treatment in the future.
How can Egg Sharing help both couples?
By sharing eggs with a woman who is unable to produce her own, the Egg Sharer gives another couple the chance of having a child. In return for this much-needed help, the woman donating the eggs will receive a free IVF treatment cycle.
The programme designed by Bridge adheres strictly to all the guidelines laid down by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA).
Why Egg Sharing might be the right way for you
If you are fertile, aged 18-34, in need of IVF treatment but concerned about the cost of treatment, Egg Sharing may be the right solution for you.
Egg sharing significantly reduces treatment costs as you receive a free IVF treatment cycle and the drugs you need are provided.
You may incur some costs if additional treatment services are required but this is not normally the case. Egg Sharing is an approach which is being used successfully by an increasingly wide range of people.
There is a serious shortage of Egg Donors at present, so the chances of establishing a treatment sharing arrangement are very good.
Egg Sharing is a possible way forward for you if you fall into one of the following categories: -
• Male factor problems, fertile healthy female partner
Male factor issues account for close to 40% of the cases we see at Bridge. If the female partner is fertile and capable of producing a reasonable number of eggs, then egg sharing should be considered.
• Same Sex Couples and Single Women
If you are producing eggs but have had no success with IUI, then IVF and egg sharing may be the sensible next step.
• Sterilised?
Women who have been sterilised for any reason and therefore need IVF to achieve pregnancy for themselves can make excellent sharers.
• Gynaecological issues
There are various gynaecological conditions such as blocked fallopian tubes or Polycystic ovarieswhich make it impossible for women producing eggs to conceive naturally. Again, the sharing potential is good.
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.
