Who Can Benefit from Egg Donation?

At Michigan Fertility Institute, we can help coordinate care with egg donor programs to support individuals and couples facing fertility challenges including:

Supporting Patients Using Donor Eggs

While we are not an egg donor program, we work closely with patients who choose to build their families through donor eggs. We partner with reputable donor agencies and banks that provide thoroughly screened and qualified donors. These donors typically undergo:

• Comprehensive medical and family history review
• Psychological evaluation to ensure readiness
• Detailed personal profiles (physical characteristics, education, talents)
• ASRM-recommended genetic and medical testing

Anonymous egg donors are generally between 21–34 years old, an age range associated with the healthiest and most viable eggs.

A Personalized and Supportive Experience

At Michigan Fertility Institute, we provide a boutique, patient-centered approach. Dr. Ali Bazzi and his amazing team oversee each step, ensuring both donors and intended parents feel supported. Once a donor is chosen, the cycle typically takes 1-2 months, though availability may vary based on specific criteria. Additionally, we collaborate with an egg bank, offering access to a diverse range of donor options.

High Success Rates and Immediate Availability

Our central success rates exceed national averages, giving patients an excellent chance of achieving pregnancy. Many options are available without delay, though specific criteria may involve a short waiting period.

Every journey to parenthood is unique. We are here to guide and support you at every step. Contact us today to learn more.

Building Families Through Gestational Surrogacy

A Path to Parenthood for Those in Need

Gestational surrogacy offers a life-changing opportunity for individuals and couples who are unable to carry a pregnancy themselves. A gestational carrier, also known as a surrogate, carries and delivers the baby on behalf of the intended parents, making parenthood possible for those who need extra help.

How Surrogacy Works

Gestational carriers can be someone you know, such as a friend or family member, or an anonymous surrogate matched through a trusted program. Before starting the process, all surrogates undergo comprehensive medical and psychological screening to ensure they are suitable candidates. Both intended parents and surrogates must also have legal representation to protect everyone involved.

Surrogacy requires donor eggs, which can come from the intended mother, a known donor, or an anonymous egg donor. These eggs are fertilized with sperm from the intended father or a sperm donor, and the resulting embryo is carefully screened before being transferred into the surrogate’s uterus. With proper care, the pregnancy progresses naturally, and the baby is delivered into the loving arms of the intended parents.

Who Can Benefit from Surrogacy?

Gestational surrogacy is a great option for:

• Women who do not have a uterus or have a uterus that is damaged or non-functional
• Women who have experienced multiple pregnancy losses or poor pregnancy outcomes (such as preterm birth or second-trimester losses)
• Women with medical conditions that make pregnancy too risky for their health
• Same-sex male couples and single men pursuing fatherhood
