The clinic works with reputable sperm banks that meet Health Canada standards, and donor eggs are sourced from screened donors whose medical, genetic, and infectious disease histories are thoroughly evaluated. Patients can choose donor egg cycles when their own ovarian reserve is insufficient or when previous IVF attempts have been unsuccessful. The program includes comprehensive counseling, detailed donor profiles, and a laboratory process that integrates donor eggs with the recipient’s sperm to create embryos for transfer, thereby expanding family‑building options for a wide range of patients.
