At Indian Egg Donors, we are pleased to offer our bank of frozen donor embryos, a service we highly recommend to intended parents across Canada. While this service was not previously available, advancements in reproductive technology have made frozen donor embryos a reliable and viable option for families seeking to grow their families.
Until recently, the freezing technology used in assisted reproduction was less effective today. The human egg, a large cell mostly composed of water, is especially vulnerable during freezing and thawing. The traditional slow-freezing technique caused ice crystals to form in the egg’s cytoplasm, damaging the genetic material and reducing the integrity of the cell. This often resulted in a low survival rate for thawed eggs—typically around 60%. Since eggs are more delicate than embryos, the survival rate for thawed eggs was even lower.
However, egg and embryo freezing has dramatically improved with vitrification (flash freezing). Vitrification prevents ice crystals from forming by replacing the water in the egg with a special cryoprotectant before rapidly cooling it in liquid nitrogen. This innovation has significantly boosted survival rates, reaching nearly 98% for embryos and 90-95% for eggs after thawing.
In 2012, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) removed egg freezing from the list of experimental procedures, recognizing that the success rates of vitrified eggs and embryos are now comparable to fresh cycles. Numerous studies have confirmed that vitrified eggs and embryos achieve fertilization, implantation, and pregnancy rates on par with fresh cycles.
For instance, statistics from the ASRM show the following comparison between frozen (vitrified) eggs and fresh eggs:
This breakthrough in freezing technology is transforming the world of third-party egg donation and increasing the popularity of frozen donor embryos over fresh donor eggs.
One of the primary concerns for intended parents is ensuring a healthy child. Thanks to rapid advancements in genetic screening, we provide the most comprehensive testing available to identify genetic mutations that could lead to hereditary disorders. All of our egg donors undergo detailed genetic carrier screening, which detects over 100 genetic conditions with an accuracy rate greater than 99.9%.
While genetic testing cannot detect every possible genetic condition, it dramatically reduces the risk of passing on inheritable diseases. We screen for conditions such as:
Testing is performed using a blood or saliva sample from the donor, and we also encourage sperm donors to undergo genetic testing. Screening for genetic risks before embryo creation helps ensure the embryos are as healthy as possible.
Thanks to advancements in vitrification, the use of frozen donor embryos has grown in popularity. While fresh embryos were previously the preferred choice, the success rates of fresh and frozen embryos are now virtually identical.
Key benefits of using frozen donor embryos include:
At Indian Egg Donors, we provide various financial options tailored to meet your needs. The cost of frozen donor embryos generally ranges from $14,000 to CAD 24,000, depending on the donor’s background and educational level. For example, embryos from donors with advanced degrees may cost more than those from donors with high school diplomas. The price covers a cohort of embryos, including at least six embryos per donor cycl
We maintain a secure and comprehensive egg donor database with over 1,000 pre-screened profiles, including:
Frozen donor embryos are created using donated eggs and sperm and then frozen for future use. They are available immediately for transfer into the intended mother’s uterus, eliminating the waiting time typically associated with fresh cycles.
Embryo transfer preparation involves hormone therapy to prepare the recipient’s uterus for implantation. This includes estrogen and progesterone to thicken the uterine lining. Once the lining is optimal, the embryo transfer takes place.
The success rate with frozen donor embryos is comparable to fresh embryos, with pregnancy rates for vitrified embryos around 55-56%, depending on the clinic and other factors.

The cost for frozen donor embryos at Indian Egg Donors typically ranges from $14,000 to CAD 24,000 per cohort, which includes a minimum of six embryos. The price depends on the donor’s background and educati
All of our donors remain anonymous, and we do not disclose their identities to recipients or share the identities of recipients with donors.
Once a frozen embryo is selected, the process is relatively quick. The embryos can be thawed and ready for transfer within 5 days of fertilization, significantly reducing wait times compared to fresh cycles.
Opting for a frozen embryo transfer through Indian Egg Donors was a seamless experience. Their comprehensive support and transparent process made our journey to parenthood both smooth and hopeful.
