Ovoria – Your European egg bank
Established in 2001, Ovoria has grown into a trusted international egg bank, offering donor egg solutions for individuals affected by infertility. Our state-of-the-art egg freezing methods, thorough medical screening, and commitment to HFEA guidelines mean Bristol patients benefit from our years’ experience in egg donation and IVF treatment. We cater to a wide range of needs, including women over the age of 42, single women, same-sex couples, and those with poor egg quality. Our egg bank was established to help other women start a family by providing access to donor eggs sourced from donors in the UK and abroad, always adhering to strict eligibility criteria set by regulatory authorities.
What makes us different
At Ovoria, we set ourself apart from other egg banks. Our key strengths include:

This ensures each IVF cycle is tailored to suit your specific circumstances, giving you the best chance of a successful pregnancy.

These robust processes help safeguard your future treatment options, whether you plan to start treatment immediately or need flexibility in timing.
Our role in treating infertility
Infertility can impact individuals and couples in the UK for various reasons, including ovarian issues or poor egg quality. Ovoria addresses these challenges by delivering eggs from altruistic donors who wish to give someone the opportunity to become a mother. We coordinate each step with your chosen fertility clinic—whether that is a facility you’re already working with in Bristol (such as BCRM) or a partner location in London—to ensure that every aspect of your donor egg IVF procedure, including sperm preparation, fertilisation, and embryo culture, is managed seamlessly.
The egg donation process for egg recipients
At Ovoria, we streamline the egg donation process to ensure clarity, security, and success for patients seeking donor eggs in Bristol. Whether you need eggs from a donor due to poor egg quality, ovarian issues, or infertility, our dedicated egg donation team supports you every step of the way. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Register Online & Select Your Donor
Begin by creating a Private Client account in our secure egg bank database. Here, you can explore extensive donor profiles, including medical history, non-identifying information, and (where available) childhood and adult photos. Each egg donor undergoes standard genetic and medical screening to meet the strict eligibility criteria set by HFEA. Once you’ve selected a donor, you can reserve a set of 6, 8, or 12 eggs based on your treatment needs.
Step 2: Contact the Ovoria Coordinator
After choosing your donor, an Ovoria treatment coordinator will confirm the donor’s availability and guide you through the next steps. This includes discussing medical suitability, legal considerations, and Ovoria’s guarantees for each egg donation cycle. During this stage, we ensure that all your concerns regarding pricing, timelines, and clinic coordination are addressed.
Step 3: Sign the Agreement
Once the details of your donor egg selection, oocyte quantity, and screening preferences are finalised, you will sign a legal agreement. This document outlines the terms of your egg donation programme, ensuring full transparency about your donor egg purchase and the next steps in your IVF treatment.
Step 4: Coordinate With Your Fertility Clinic & Arrange Shipping
If you are already working with a fertility clinic in the UK, such as BCRM or another centre across the UK, inform them that you have sourced donor eggs from Ovoria. Your clinic must confirm its readiness to receive the frozen donor eggs. Our dedicated logistics team then arranges a secure, hand-carried shipment to ensure that your egg bank donation arrives safely and is ready for use in your treatment.
Step 5: Embryo Transfer & Pregnancy Testing
For fresh egg donation, the donor undergoes ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval while you prepare your uterine lining with hormone therapy. If you are using frozen eggs, your fertility clinic will thaw the oocytes before fertilisation using IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The resulting embryos are cultured for up to five days, after which a selected embryo is transferred into your uterus. Around two weeks later, a blood test measuring hCG levels will confirm pregnancy.
