Egg Donation through GCRM and IVI Valencia

GCRM has the largest egg donation program in Scotland (see Egg Share & Donor Programmes). Despite this, patients who require donated eggs will still have a lengthy time to spend on our waiting list.

In an effort to provide patients with as many options as possible, GCRM has established a link with one of the most successful egg donation centres in Europe; IVI Valencia. This state of the art facility in Spain has a very active program with virtually no waiting list.

The arrangement we have in place with them means that if any patients decide to seek treatment in Spain, all the initial stages (consultation, consents, screening tests, cycle monitoring) of your treatment cycle could still take place here at GCRM. Meaning they would only need to travel to Spain once; for fertilisation of the eggs and the embryo transfer.

Because of the different regulatory regime in Spain, IVI Valencia are able to provide financial compensation to their egg donors. This in turn means they have many more donors coming forward. These donors undergo the same rigorous screening as in the UK.

GCRM has put together an IVI Patient Journey information sheet. This provides a step by step guide to how the GCRM - IVI Valencia egg donation arrangement works.

Margaret Donnelly (GCRM Office Manager) is acting as our IVI Valencia coordinator. If you require any further information, including up to date information treatment costs or wish to make an appointment, Margaret can be contacted on tel: 0141 891 8749 or e-mail Margaret.Donnelly@gcrm.co.uk
