The International Egg Recipient Programmes

 

Treatment ‘as soon as possible’

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.

Programme Options

We run a range of international programmes: -

* International Egg Recipient Programmes

We believe that these are three of the most comprehensive and fully-supported international programmes available to UK recipients.

* International Egg Sharing Programme

A successful and effective programme, hosted in Crete by a former Bridge fertility specialist.

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 and treatment can take place virtually immediately.

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, especially as we have a wealth of experience in dealing with centres all over the world and standards do vary.

After an evaluation of overseas clinics where suitable donors are available and the care and the medical facilities meet the high standards we have set, we currently work with four overseas centres.
