Frozen Egg Bank Launches New Donor Web Site that Helps Prospective Parents Start a Family
Date:8/18/2008

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Frozen Egg Bank, one of only three repositories of frozen human eggs from donors, announced the launch of their new Web site, http://www.eggfreezing.com. The Web site provides a registry of young, healthy donors whose frozen eggs can help start families for women unable to conceive with their own eggs.

Although potential parents have the option of using fresh donor eggs, it is more costly and time consuming compared with using frozen eggs. By purchasing frozen eggs, the cost is less and the intended mother's menstrual cycle does not need to be synchronized with the donor's cycle. Costly travel expenses and compliance problems are also eliminated. It is also possible to reserve additional eggs from the same donor in order to have a second child in later years.

While embryo freezing has existed since the 1980s, egg freezing technology has more recently succeeded in freezing eggs and storing them indefinitely in liquid nitrogen. In 2005, Frozen Egg Bank celebrated its first birth from a frozen egg that was stored for four years. Since then, an additional 27 babies have been born, and anot
