Egg Donors in Los Angeles
RFC works with only the most qualified and healthy egg donors. We have helped hundreds of intended parents find their egg donor match through our in-house agency.
There are many ways to become pregnant. One way a woman can become pregnant is through egg donation. While choosing to use an egg donor can be difficult, this option dramatically improves success rates for certain women to conceive. At Reproductive Fertility Center, we work with you and a selection of highly qualified donors to help attain your dreams of motherhood. We recognize that this is often a hard choice, and we provide all the support needed throughout the process.
Who Should Consider Egg Donation?
Women who are over 35
Statistically, the ovarian reserve notably decreases in women over the age of 35, along with their ability to conceive naturally. The ovarian reserve is an indicator of the number and viability of the eggs that are matured and released monthly. As the ovarian reserve decreases, a woman reaches advanced maternal age. At that point, IVF with the woman using her own eggs carries a significantly lower pregnancy rate. Depending on advice from a physician after a comprehensive evaluation, this may be the time for some (but not all) women to consider egg donation.
Women in Early Menopause
Unfortunately, even young women can experience a diminished ovarian reserve prematurely; this is also known as early menopause. A diminished ovarian reserve can be caused by a series of factors, and it can affect women of all ages. Women experiencing early menopause may consider egg donation as a solution.
Women with a Genetic Disease
In specific cases, being a carrier for a genetic disease that may impact the viability of a woman’s embryos is a strong reason to consider using an egg donor. Additionally, some genetic diseases can be passed on from a woman to her offspring; in these cases, a woman may choose egg donation as a way of avoiding the risk of passing along any diseases. Thus, by using an egg donor with a healthy genetic background, the risk of a genetic disease being passed from mother to child is significantly reduced. Also, most genetic disorders are able to be diagnosed in embryos.
How Does the Egg Donor Process Work?
At Reproductive Fertility, we work with only the most qualified egg donors. We seek out healthy, physically fit, educated young women to donate eggs to women who desire to become pregnant. The intended mom’s journey begins by reviewing the donor options and selecting a candidate that she feel best suits the needs of her family. You can read more information on our donor screening process, whether you’re interested in either choosing an egg donor or becoming a donor yourself.
Below is a overview of what to expect when using an egg donor at Reproductive Fertility Center:
- Egg Match: Our dedicated team will match you with a healthy egg that fits the specifications of the intended parents.
- Hormone Treatments: Once the egg donor has been found, both mother and egg donor will go through hormone treatments to prepare for the procedure. The intended mom will undergo a series of injections of estrogen and progesterone that are designed to thicken the endometrial lining. This process prepares the uterus for the embryo.
- Egg Harvesting: We harvest the eggs from the donor when an ultrasound indicates the eggs have matured. This process is relatively painless for the donor, who is sedated during the process.
- Fertilization & Embryo Transfer: Once we retrieve the eggs, they are fertilized with sperm. The sperm can either be a partner's sperm or donor sperm. The embryos are then incubated and closely watched. As they develop, the embryologist will assess the viability of each embryo. We typically implant embryos three to five days after egg retrieval.
- Pregnancy Test: After about 10 days, we perform blood tests to determine if the implantation was successful. The blood test measures the levels of hCG in the woman's blood which will indicate pregnancy. Once we have confirmed pregnancy, we will release the woman to the care of her chosen OB.

“Eternally Grateful”
It is amazing what a difference a year can make. Last year we were feeling depressed and anxious and unsure about whether or not this would happen for us. This year we are expecting the birth of our first child. Dr. Saadat is amazing. You will feel the difference right away between his office and any other office around. They must make it a rule there to only hire friendly, compassionate people because everyone there was so sweet – especially all the nurses. Thanks again for everything guys!
"Felt Welcome From the Start"
I wanted to say thank you to the entire staff for making us feel welcome to our first visit especially on a Saturday. We met with Dr. Sadaat and was very informative and took time with us with all of our questions. For the financial department, Melissa was very helpful with keeping in contact with us regarding any paperwork that we needed as well as with setting our appointment. We do look forward for treatment with Dr. Saadat.
"The Solution to Our Problems"
We just celebrated our son’s first birthday, and thought we should send out warm wishes to Dr. Saadat and his team as well. Without them this would not have been possible. We had “unexplained” infertility issues and the first clinic we went to was not very friendly and we felt like we were just another “cycle”. Dr. Saadat was always willing to answer questions and the nurses there were terrific. I felt like everyone in the office was on our side, and that makes a huge difference. So thank you to everyone from Anna, Michael and Alex.
"One Big Thank You"
Dr Saadat is very open and accommodating to my financial and medical concerns. He doesn’t force unnecessary tests like other places do. He’s a very nice and efficient reproductive endocrinologist.
"Helpful in Every Way"
We traveled across the world to be treated by Dr. Saadat. My wife was not able to have babies and we could not get an answer from Doctors in our country why. It is also important in our culture that our first baby be male. Dr. Saadat was able to help my wife get pregnant and make sure that we had a baby boy. They were helpful in every way and we felt comfortable even though we are not from the United States. Everyone was patient and understanding and respectful. We will be back in a few years to grow our family.
"It's Never Too Late!"
All I can say is do not give up hope! I was 43 when I got pregnant for the first time. I had honestly been trying for years. I now have 3 beautiful children, a 6 year old girl and 3 year old twins – a boy and a girl. I feel blessed every day. It can happen. Thank you Dr. Saadat.
"The Perfect Fit for the Job"
I came to Dr. Saadat’s office because I felt like the Doctor I was working with was not a good fit. It isn’t that they were doing anything wrong but I did not feel a connection. This is such a personal type of medical treatment, and I want the people helping me to make me feel cared for. Dr. Saadat’s approach is also a bit different – he does all the ultrasounds himself – which is very reassuring. His staff is great, and his bedside manner is comforting. I am thankful for everything they all did, and thankful everyday for my daughter!
