Egg cell adoption
For women without an active ovarian reserve, the egg cell adoption is the only chance for pregnancy and motherhood. An in-vitro procedure featuring adopted egg cells allows the patient to get pregnant and have a baby.

What is egg cell adoption?
What is egg cell adoption?
Egg cell adoption is a procedure in which oocytes (egg cells) are used for in vitro fertilisation. Adoption enables women unable to provide healthy egg cells themselves to experience motherhood.
The egg cells come from a donor who has passed serological, gynaecological, genetic, and psychological tests. Fertilisation is performed by ICSI. Subsequently, the resulting blastocyst-stage embryos are delivered into the uterus of the recipient patient (embryotransfer) and, if a larger number of embryos are acquired, frozen.

In order to carry out the in vitro fertilisation procedure, it is necessary to adequately prepare the cycle, perform the above tests, and complete the necessary documentation by both the female and male partner.
Egg cell adoption programme
We operate our own cell bank and work with two foreign banks. Anonymous donors are young women, and the procedure for qualification, collection, and freezing of oocytes is always performed after a prior gynaecological examination, as well as genetic and serological tests, in accordance with provisions in force.
The IVF program with adopted donor egg cells runs in accordance with the requirements of the Regulation of the Minister of Health dated 23 October 2015 on health requirements for a candidate for a donor of reproductive cells for partner and non-partner donation, and for a recipient of reproductive cells and embryos, and the detailed conditions for collecting reproductive cells for use in the procedure of medically assisted procreation.
The program covers:
- selection of oocytes, based on phenotypical characteristics, in accordance with the Infertility Treatment Act dated 25 June 2015 (Journal of Laws of 31 July 2015, item 1087) and the Regulation of the Minister of Health with regards to the Act
- accepting cells to the bank,
- establishing a deposit of reproductive cells as per the above provisions,
- drafting relevant documents, release of cells from the bank to the embryology laboratory for fertilisation and embryo creation
- preparing oocytes for fertilisation (procedure of identification, thawing, incubation and evaluation of cells)
- coordinator’s support,
- possibility of psychological counselling.
Cost of the stage: PLN 2 100
This stage includes the procedure for the preparation and handling of sperm for fertilisation, the procedure for the fertilisation of cells using assisted fertilisation (ICSI or IMSI) and embryo culture.
Cost of the stage: PLN 6 400
This stage includes the procedure for transferring the embryo into the uterine cavity.
Cost of the stage: PLN 1 800
This stage involves cryopreservation of the created embryos using a vitrification method, and the first year of their storage at the Bank of Reproductive Cells and Embryos.
Cost of the stage: PLN 950 for the first embryo + PLN 350 for every additional embryo
- costs of the packages of cells from an external bank,
- cycle synchronization and monitoring; the cost of drugs used to synchronise the cycle and during cycle monitoring and post-transfer the cost of examinations required by the Regulation of the Minister of Health dated 23 October 2015 on health requirements for a candidate for a donor of reproductive cells for partner and non-partner donation, and for a recipient of reproductive cells and embryos, and the detailed conditions for collecting reproductive cells for use in the procedure of medically assisted procreation
- cost of hormonal testing during treatment; time-lapse embryo culture (Embryoscope)
- additional embryological procedures (Embryoscope, FertileChip, Assisted hatching, EmbryoGlue or UTM transfer medium)
The entire adoption process is managed
by our female medical coordinator, who knows you and your case and stays in touch with the cell and embryo banks and coordinates the medical team throughout the adoption programs.

Good to know
All you should
know about this method

Donor egg cell adoption is beneficial to couples where the woman does not have her own oocytes, or where they are of poor quality and therefore do not have the potential for pregnancy.
In vitro fertilisation with ova from an anonymous donor provides an opportunity to have offspring for women who:
– have no active ovarian reserve and/or are menopausal,
– have experienced premature ovarian insufficiency,
– have a history of failed in vitro fertilisation attempts or multiple miscarriages.
– have undergone ovarian removal surgery,
– have a genetic disorder that prevents pregnancy
– have undergone cancer therapy
