“The one and only mission

Not all egg and sperm banks are equal. Comparing guarantees, prices, and donor selections may seem like a reasonable method for narrowing your choices, but instead, ask how does this gamete bank manage its quality? If you cannot be assured that the highest standards of ethics and quality are the bank’s priority, then guarantees, pricing, and donor selection are the least of your worries.

Other banks often outsource donor recruiting, screening, retrieval, freezing, and transport services. Sometimes dozens of different clinics can be involved. Individual clinic employees at each outsourced clinic location are continuously in transition, and new training must occur with each new employee. These outsourced clinics are busy with their own patients and meeting their patients’ needs. How can egg retrieval and gamete freezing — which is likely a secondary priority at many of these clinics — guarantee donor care, safety, and transparent screening while ensuring gold standard quality?

Third-party sources introduce issues with transparency and ultimately, quality. At The World Egg and Sperm Bank, we are science and data driven. Our protocols, vitrification techniques, shipping systems, and all related technical and operational systems are monitored to improve the quality of your treatment. The World Egg and Sperm Bank can accomplish this because we do it all under one roof using our purpose-built database. Other sources cannot drive their outcome improvements with data because they have no centralized location to collect the data, nor any kind of audit to verify the accuracy of the data.

Other banks can try to take every precaution possible, but if the process is out of their hands, how can they manage the people, processes, and quality of third parties over which they have no control? Yes, gamete bank guarantees can provide some relief if something happens, but why risk going through the uncertainty and emotional pain of loss, replacement of eggs, and rescheduling and preparing for and paying for another cycle if the process was not ideally managed in the first place?

Do they allow you to see who has the best pregnancy rates? Pregnancy rates from different outsourced clinics may have different pregnancy rates than other clinics who freeze eggs in that same network, especially if the outsourcing is outside of North America.

Since The World Egg and Sperm Bank conducts all donor procedures, including freezing, with our expert end-to-end medical and scientific staff operating in a single state-of-the-art location, our pregnancy rates are consistent and fully disclosed, because of our own in-house, end-to-end logistical control from donor recruitment to gamete delivery.

The World Egg and Sperm Bank is completely unique. We have built a state-of-the-art egg and sperm bank that focuses solely on donor gametes. We focus strictly on the needs and care of our donors and the quality of our gametes. The World Egg and Sperm Bank uses specialized laboratory systems and highly trained staff.

All donations, retrievals, egg freezing, and sperm freezing are done with our proven protocols, by the same experienced and qualified staff at our singular location, ensuring quality control.
