Bridge Egg Recipient

There are very few people who are kind enough to make an effort and help someone in need and even fewer who are willing to help anonymously and with no direct benefit to themselves.

Currently the law in the UK only allows for reimbursement of expenses for egg donation and therefore there is a great shortage of donated eggs.

Women who require egg donation do not have any other way of conceiving and have to face long waiting lists of up to two years in most fertility centres. Age is a crucial factor when discussing fertility and, for some of these women, the waiting time can be a key factor.

If you decide to become an egg donor, you will have the opportunity to help one of these women to bring new life into the world and a new light into their lives.

Do you need donor eggs?

Bridge programmes provide immediate access to high quality donor eggs in the following ways: -

• Bridge International Egg Donation Programme

We believe that this is the most comprehensive and fully-supported international programme available to UK recipients and nearly 50% of participants have become parents.

• Bridge International Egg Sharing Programme

A successful and effective programme, hosted in Crete by a former Bridge fertility specialist, which is producing happy outcomes.

• Bridge UK Egg Sharing Programme

An active and successful programme which we are expanding in order to increase the opportunities for UK treatment.

• Bridge Active Donor Recruitment

We work hard to find altruistic donors but you can beat the shortage by taking active steps to find your own donor in the UK. We provide support at every stage.

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.
