Yes, Regional Fertility Program runs a comprehensive donor egg program. Patients can use known donors or obtain vitrified eggs from accredited egg banks, including MyEggBank (USA) and Canadian partners such as Can‑Am Cryoservices. Donor eggs are shipped frozen, warmed, and fertilized in the clinic’s laboratory using ICSI, followed by daily embryo assessment and blastocyst transfer. The program also provides counseling to help patients navigate the emotional, legal, and medical aspects of donor egg use. Screening of donors follows Health Canada regulations, ensuring thorough infectious‑disease and genetic testing before any eggs are released for treatment.
