Our pricing explained
Put simply, the more donor eggs, the higher your total cost. At Cryos we offer straws containing one, two, or three donor eggs which gives you the flexibility to reserve and purchase any amount of donor eggs. The price per donor egg is the same, no matter which type of straw you choose.
Example of how the number of donor eggs affects price
For example, Donor “X” has 16 eggs available for sale at EUR 613 per egg.
- One straw containing one donor egg costs EUR 613 per straw.
- One straw containing two donor eggs costs EUR 1,226 per straw.
- One straw containing three donor eggs costs EUR 1,839 per straw.
You are free to purchase any combination of available straws you want and choose the quantity of frozen donor eggs you need.
E.g., if you need four donor eggs from Donor “X”, the total price will be EUR 2.452 no matter if you purchase two straws containing two eggs each or one straw containing one egg and one straw containing three eggs.
Many doctors and fertility clinics will recommend a cohort of 6-8 frozen donor eggs for your fertility treatment. We recommend that you consult your clinic regarding how many donor eggs to order.

Frequently asked questions about donor egg prices
Can Cryos help me calculate the cost of donor eggs?
If you are unsure how to calculate the total cost of donor eggs, Cryos can help you. Usually, your donor egg order will include the price of donor eggs, VAT, shipping, and perhaps a Quota Reservation depending on your treatment country. If you choose add-on services such as Genetic Matching, this will be included too.
To calculate the total cost of donor eggs at Cryos, you can either visit our free donor search, add donor eggs (and any extra services) to your basket, choose shipping, and then see the total price of donor eggs. You can also contact Cryos and get help calculating your total costs.
Are the costs of frozen donor eggs lower than the costs of fresh donor eggs?
The costs of frozen donor eggs will usually be lower than the costs of fresh donor eggs. Another advantage of using frozen donor eggs is the flexibility, as the donor eggs are in stock ready to be used. At Cryos we offer frozen donor eggs only. Frozen donor eggs can be used in ICSI treatment.
See our large selection of egg donors in our free egg donor search.
How to purchase donor eggs?
Donor eggs can be purchased online via our free egg donor search. Once you have found your favourite donor, you can select the number of eggs you require and indicate when you need us to send them. See our full guide about how to order donor eggs.
What happens after I have purchased donor eggs?
Once you have purchased frozen donor eggs and had them delivered to a fertility clinic of your choice, the clinic staff will thaw them and inject the eggs with sperm from your partner or a sperm donor. This is called ICSI treatment. The eggs that are successfully fertilized will be monitored in a lab for up to 5 days. By then, some of them will hopefully have developed into blastocysts, which is the early stage of an embryo.
Meanwhile, the woman receiving the eggs will be given medication to prepare the uterus for an embryo transfer. If the embryo implants and develops into a pregnancy, this will be visible on a pregnancy test after a few weeks.
