Donor Egg with Shared Risk
Hi, I'm in my first IVF cycle using Donor Eggs. I have premature ovarian failure, so this was my only option.
We opted to do a shared risk program with Shady Grove in Maryland. We went with the 1:3 program, where we shared our donor with two other couples. The cost for this is $29,000 plus medication & pretesting.
Other options for shared risk:
1:2: $37,000
1:1: $51,000
The best part of the shared risk program is if it doesn't work, we get the base money back. The program includes up to 6 fresh cycles and as many frozen ones as you have. We got lucky and it worked on our first try. We ended up paying a bit too much, but it was worth it to have the peace of mind.
One other thing to consider, is that using donor eggs has a higher success rate. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
