Egg Freezing at Spring Fertility

Where you freeze your eggs matters. Spring Fertility has completed over 23,000 egg retrievals and thawed more than 3,700 eggs with a 93% thaw success rate across all locations. Our Egg Share program has been a part of Spring since they opened in 2016, and we’ve recently reimagined it to make it even more accessible—helping more families bring their dreams to life.

Eggshare with Nest

Submit an Application

Begin by filling out our donor questionnaire on the Nest website. It helps us get to know you—your health, background, and what inspires you to donate.

AMH Blood Test

We’ll send you a lab order to check your AMH levels. If your results are 3 or higher, you’re ready for the next step.

Consultation with a Provider

You’ll speak with a Spring provider over the phone to discuss your goals, the egg freezing process, and to get all your questions answered.

Your Profile Goes Live & Matching Begin

Once your questionnaire is approved, your donor profile becomes viewable to Spring patients seeking donor eggs. When a family expresses interest, Nest will reach out to begin the matching and screening process.

Screening Process

To make sure you meet all FDA requirements, you’ll complete:
• FDA-required bloodwork and a physical exam in person at a Spring Fertility clinic (don’t worry, we cover the cost of travel!)
• A psychological evaluation
• A session with a genetic counselor to go over genetic screening bloodwork

Legal Agreement

Once all your screenings are complete, you’ll be eligible to donate. From there, you’ll enter into a legal agreement with the intended parents. This covers all terms of the donation and establishes legal parental rights.

You’re Cleared to Donate

When your next period starts, let us know. We’ll share your treatment calendar and coordinate your care. If you’re not near a Spring clinic, you’ll begin locally and travel to Spring about a week before your retrieval. Nest covers travel, hotel, and meals.

Egg Retrieval & What’s Next

The retrieval is a quick 20-minute procedure under anesthesia, followed by a check-up the next day. Out-of-town donors fly home the day after retrieval. Your eggs are stored at Spring for up to 10 years, free of charge, or until you choose to transfer or discard them.

We feel lucky to have worked with Spring Fertility + Nest Donor Bank to start our family. Through all of the inevitable ups and downs, we knew we were in good hands with Dr. Tran, thanks to his calm support and deep expertise. We were also impressed by the caliber of the donors at Nest Donor Bank and can't imagine what our family would be like if we hadn't found the donor that we did.

I began working with Spring and Nest back in 2017 as an egg donor and completed five successful donations with them. The doctors, nurses, and entire staff were always welcoming, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. Even though I traveled from out of state for each donation, the process was seamless — My was always ahead of the game, coordinating flights and hotels, making sure everything went smoothly.

We are sad we won’t be working with [My] and Dr. Tran again, but are forever grateful to [the] team for how you’ve blessed our life. 💜
