Six Reasons Why Egg Sharing is an Ideal Egg Donation Model for Intended Parents
In traditional egg donation, the donor's eggs are given to the intended parents in exchange for cash compensation. However, in the increasingly popular egg sharing model, the donor has the opportunity to keep half of the eggs retrieved for her own future family planning. At Cofertility, we exclusively work under the egg sharing model, which we call Split, because we think it’s ideal for everyone involved – the intended parents, the egg donor, and ultimately the donor-conceived child.

Nature vs. Nurture: What Parents Via Egg Donation Need to Know
When it comes to the development of a child, the age-old debate of nature vs. nurture comes into play. While genetics (nature) play a significant role in a child's development, environmental factors and upbringing (nurture) also have a significant impact. This debate can be particularly relevant for intended parents via egg donation who may have questions about what traits their child may inherit from the egg donor and how environmental factors may affect their child's development.

Should I Meet My Potential Egg Donor?
Just five years ago, most donations were made without the intended parent ever meeting the egg donor. But we’re changing that. For the vast majority of matches made at Cofertility, the parent(s) and egg donor meet before signing the contract and moving forward. Most of these meetings happen on the phone, through Zoom, or even in person.

10 Reasons Why Cofertility Was Named One of the Best Egg Banks
When we started Cofertility, we saw an industry needing better options. Traditional egg donation often felt transactional, overlooking the human elements involved. We believed there had to be a better way - one that honored the experiences of egg donors, supported the hopes of intended parents, and prioritized the future well-being of donor-conceived people. This belief led us to create a human-centered approach that has redefined what egg donation can be.As we share the ten reasons behind this recognition, we want to acknowledge that our success comes from listening to our community. The insights of donors, intended parents, donor-conceived individuals, and medical professionals have shaped every aspect of our program. Here's what makes Cofertility different:
We're proud to be recognized by numerous leaders in the fertility space as one of the best egg donor programs. From major publications to trusted organizations like Egg Donor Connect—who has honored us as a top program every year since our founding—this recognition validates our mission to create meaningful change in the fertility industry. But more importantly, it reflects the trust that families, donors, and medical professionals have placed in us.
When we started Cofertility, we saw an industry needing better options. Traditional egg donation often felt transactional, overlooking the human elements involved. We believed there had to be a better way - one that honored the experiences of egg donors, supported the hopes of intended parents, and prioritized the future well-being of donor-conceived people. This belief led us to create a human-centered approach that has redefined what egg donation can be.
As we share the ten reasons behind this recognition, we want to acknowledge that our success comes from listening to our community. The insights of donors, intended parents, donor-conceived individuals, and medical professionals have shaped every aspect of our program. Here's what makes Cofertility different:
1. We've scaled egg sharing globally
While egg sharing isn't new - it's been helping build families for decades - Cofertility has brought this concept to a national, and even global, scale. We work with over 75 clinics across the United States, making egg-sharing accessible to more families than ever before. In this model, women freeze their eggs for free when they donate half to a family that can’t otherwise conceive. This creates a meaningful connection between donor and recipient from the start.
Our ability to scale egg sharing means more options for intended parents and more opportunities for women to preserve their own fertility while helping others. By partnering with clinics nationwide, we ensure high-quality care and consistent protocols while maintaining the personal touch that makes egg-sharing special.
2. We prioritize donor well-being
Unlike other agencies that encourage donors to complete multiple cycles (sometimes more than 5 or 6) to maximize profit, Cofertility takes a different approach. Most of our egg donors complete at most two cycles - one to donate and one for their own future use. This not only reduces the physical and emotional impact on donors but also limits the number of potential half-siblings, an important consideration for donor-conceived people.
Our focus on donor well-being extends beyond cycle limits. We provide comprehensive medical and psychological screening, ongoing support throughout the process, and clear information about what to expect. This approach leads to better donor experiences and, ultimately, better outcomes for recipient families.
3. We are the first and only to offer a baby guarantee
Our baby guarantee reflects our commitment to family-building success. Unlike other programs that charge premium fees for guarantees, or nothing at all, we include this protection in our base pricing because we believe it's the right thing to do. This program helps ensure intended parents can continue their family-building journey even if unexpected challenges arise.
The program covers various scenarios throughout the donation process. If a donor doesn't meet medical clearance requirements, if the cycle yields insufficient viable eggs, or if other clinical milestones aren't met, we provide options for continuing with a new match or, in some cases a refund. We've structured this program thoughtfully to align with clinical best practices while providing intended parents with clarity and peace of mind. Learn more about our Baby Guarantee.
4. We pioneered mutual matching
Our introduction of mutual matching represented a significant shift in egg donation. Instead of donors being passive participants selected from a database, they actively opt into each match. While this approach requires more resources and coordination, we believe giving donors more autonomy leads to better outcomes for everyone involved.
This two-way matching process creates a foundation of mutual respect and shared purpose. Donors feel empowered in their decision-making, and intended parents know their donor has specifically chosen to help their family. Though it's more complex than traditional matching, we've found that this approach leads to more positive experiences and strengthens the ethical framework of egg donation.
5. We're transparent about who we are
In an industry where many organizations operate behind closed doors, we believe transparency builds trust. Something as simple as having a team page, which is normal for most businesses, sets us apart in this industry. This openness isn't just about putting faces to names - it's about accountability and showing that real people are dedicated to supporting our members.
When you're making such significant decisions about becoming an egg donor or working with an egg donor to build your family, you deserve to know who's guiding you through the process. Our team is incredible and everyone has their own stories and motivations for working in fertility, creating genuine connections with the families and donors we serve. This transparency extends to our policies, pricing, and processes, ensuring you have all the information needed to make informed decisions.
6. We offer relationship options
The traditional anonymous-only model of egg donation doesn't serve everyone's needs. We recognize that donor conception creates lifelong connections, and different people have different comfort levels with contact. That's why we offer various relationship options, allowing families and donors to choose the level of communication that feels right for them.
This flexibility extends throughout the lifetime of the relationship. We provide tools and support for managing these connections, whether our members prefer occasional updates or more regular contact. Our approach acknowledges that needs and comfort levels may change over time, and we help navigate these evolving relationships with sensitivity and care.
7. We center donor-conceived children
The needs and experiences of donor-conceived people guide every aspect of our program. Through extensive consultation with adult donor-conceived individuals and ongoing research, we've developed practices that prioritize the future well-being of the children born through our program.
This commitment manifests in multiple ways. We encourage disclosed donations. We provide parents with evidence-based guidance for talking about donor conception from an early age. Our communication tools help families maintain appropriate connections with donors, ensuring children have access to their genetic history if they choose. We also limit the number of families each donor can help, considering the impact of genetic siblings on donor-conceived people's experiences.
8. We have both fresh and frozen egg donation options
Our program offers both fresh donation cycles and frozen donor eggs, allowing donors, clinics, and intended parents to select the most appropriate clinical approach. Each option maintains consistent screening standards and quality controls while accommodating different medical circumstances and timing requirements.
Both programs operate under strict protocols, with our team coordinating closely with fertility clinics to ensure smooth implementation. This flexibility in treatment approaches, combined with standardized processes, supports optimal clinical decision-making.
9. We maintain rigorous screening protocols
Our screening process exceeds industry requirements, integrating comprehensive medical, genetic, and psychological evaluations. These protocols prioritize both donor safety and the well-being of future donor-conceived children. Each evaluation is standardized across our clinic network, ensuring consistent quality regardless of location or program type.
We work closely with fertility clinics to coordinate thorough screening processes while maintaining strict standards. This includes detailed genetic carrier screening, psychological assessments, and comprehensive medical history reviews that look beyond immediate health factors to consider long-term implications for all parties. Our systematic approach helps protect donor health while providing intended parents and healthcare providers with detailed information to support informed medical decisions.
10. We offer lifetime support
Egg donation isn't a one-time event - it's the beginning of a lifelong journey. That's why our support extends far beyond the matching process. We provide comprehensive educational modules, connect you with experienced professionals, and facilitate support groups where you can share experiences with others who understand your path.
Our commitment to lifetime support includes practical tools for navigating various stages of family building. From guidance on talking to children about their origins to resources for managing family dynamics, we're here for the long haul. We regularly update our educational materials based on new research and feedback from our community, ensuring you have access to the most current information and support.
Our commitment to excellence
Being named one of the Best Egg Donor Programs validates our approach, but we're not resting on our laurels. We continuously seek feedback from our community, stay current with research in the field, and look for ways to improve our services. The fertility industry continues to evolve, and we're committed to leading positive change while maintaining the highest standards of care and support.
Looking ahead, we'll continue to innovate while staying true to our core values of transparency, ethical practice, and human-centered care. Whether you're considering becoming an egg donor or using donor eggs to build your family, we invite you to learn more about how our approach can support your goals. Our team is here to answer your questions and help you understand all your options.
At Cofertility, we believe that everyone deserves support in building their family, and we're honored to be recognized for our work in making that possible. We look forward to continuing to serve our community with the same dedication and care that earned us this recognition.

Maria Sharapova Joins Cofertility as Newest Investor
Championing Accessible Egg Freezing and Women's Reproductive Choices
Cofertility is proud to announce that Maria Sharapova has joined us as our newest investor. Widely celebrated for her legendary achievements on the tennis court, Sharapova has become an influential force in the world of entrepreneurship and investment since her retirement in February 2020. She consistently backs innovative startups that she believes will shape the future, and her investment in Cofertility is a powerful endorsement of our mission to shift the fertility landscape by making egg freezing and third-party reproduction more human-centered, accessible, and empowering.
Sharapova’s decision to invest in Cofertility stems from her strong belief that everyone should have the opportunity to take control of their reproductive potential. Together, we share the conviction that egg freezing is an important tool for driving gender equality and leading the charge in this movement. With our Freeze by Co platform and our unique egg sharing model, eligible members can freeze their eggs for free when they donate half of the eggs retrieved to a family that can’t otherwise conceive. This approach not only broadens access to egg freezing for women across the nation but also provides intended parents with a human-centered, value-driven path to growing their families through egg donation.
Beyond increasing the affordability and accessibility of fertility preservation, Cofertility and Sharapova share a vision for advancing better reproductive education. Together, we aim to empower women with the knowledge and resources needed to make the best decisions for their bodies and futures. “Breaking down barriers, whether financial, educational, or social, is essential in giving women the autonomy they deserve,” said Sharapova.
We are excited to welcome Maria Sharapova to the Cofertility family and are confident that her investment will amplify our mission. Her dedication to advancing women’s autonomy and her forward-thinking approach to innovation make her an ideal partner in reshaping the fertility landscape. Together, we are driving toward a future where every woman has the resources and support to make informed, confident decisions about her reproductive journey.

Announcing our SEEDS Membership
Ethics is at the heart of everything we do and we're glad to be part of the SEEDS ecosystem!
Ethics is at the heart of everything we do. We’ve set out to build something special – centering on families, honoring donors, and recognizing the needs and rights of the humans we are helping create.
We’re not alone in trying to raise the bar for our industry. The Society for Ethics and Egg Donation (SEEDS) is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to define and promote ethical behavior by all parties involved in third party reproduction. And today we are proud to announce that Cofertility has been accepted as a member of SEEDS.
SEEDS was founded by a group of egg donation and surrogacy agencies to give organizations a voice in defining ethical standards for egg donation and surrogacy.
We are thrilled to be official members, though we actually built our program with the SEEDS Standards as our guideposts. We are committed to building a more ethical egg donation platform and are excited to be part of an organization that reflects those same ideas. In addition to our agreement to abide by SEEDS standards, we look forward to getting involved with other initiatives ranging from monthly brown bag lunches to the SEEDS conference.
We’re glad to be part of the SEEDS ecosystem. Thank you to all of the SEEDS volunteers who have made the organization what it is today - we appreciate you and are excited to get to know you!

As part of Cofertility’s Founding Team, Pomi will lead the charge on building out, scaling, and managing company product and clinical operations, partnerships, and strategic finance functions. She’ll obsess over member needs on a daily basis, and oversee the programmatic components of their journey on our platform. Pomi is a firm believer that centering people — what they hope to accomplish and how they navigate their needs — is essential to mobilizing teams and driving business impact.
Prior to Token Transit, Pomi’s career has spanned finance, strategy and product operations at General Electric and Uber. I had the pleasure of working directly with Pomi during her time on Uber’s Strategic Finance team. Pomi was a critical partner in developing the initial business case for Uber Health and I had the best time working with her on it. Our pitch to leadership for Uber Health was successful, and the rest is history. I’m forever thankful for her partnership then and am so thrilled to have it again now.
When we asked Pomi about her first week with Cofertility, she told us, “I’m so grateful for this opportunity to change the world of family planning and ready to empower women to own their fertility timelines.”
We can’t wait to do this together. Welcome to the team, Pomi!
