Egg donation are either anonymous or known.
Known donors will be typically undergoing an IVF cycle to access the egg. At Anova, we work with many different agencies who connect aspiring parents with women who are looking to donate their eggs.

Potential eggs are checked against a stringent criteria that determines their appropriateness for donation. Anova is one of Canada’s primary practices approved to perform these assessments and consequent procedures. We are extremely selective and have perfected the science of egg donation over many years.
Once a donor is match we will start the process of fertilizing the egg.

The use of donor sperm allows for individuals who may not have, or are unable to use their own sperm. We will be here to navigate the process and provide you the support you need from selecting a donor to conception.
How Do I Find a Donor?
Donors will either be known, like friends or relatives or you can have an anonymous donor from sperm banks that are carefully vetted, wated sperm is vettedell regulated, and reputable.

Donated sperm is vetted at the sperm bank. If a friend is the donor, we test the sperm first to insure the quality.

Fertility Law
For those just starting their fertility journey, it may come as a surprise that you may want to speak to a lawyer. Fertility lawyers can help guide patients through the various considerations that should be discussed in advance, including:
- How will egg donors or surrogates be involved in the child’s life?
- If embryos have been created and remain safely in storage but the couple is no longer together, who can use the embryos for a future pregnancy?
- What is a legal parentage declaration, and when is one needed?
Fertility lawyers play a crucial role in third-party fertility journeys, where aspiring parents use egg donors, sperm donors, embryo donors, or surrogates to grow their families. They offer legal advice and guidance on the relevant legal framework for third-party assisted reproductive technologies.
