At CHR, we understand that every family-building journey is unique. For some patients, achieving pregnancy may require the support of third-party reproductive options, including donor eggs or donated embryos. Our team is committed to providing individualized counseling, transparent information, and compassionate guidance to help each patient or couple identify the option that best fits their medical circumstances, personal values, and reproductive goals.
Donor Egg Options
CHR offers access to both fresh and frozen donor egg options, allowing patients to choose the pathway that best aligns with their timeline and treatment plan.
Fresh Egg Donor Cycles
Patients may choose to work with a fresh egg donor who undergoes ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval specifically for their cycle. This approach may allow for the retrieval of multiple fresh eggs and, depending on the case, may provide opportunities for embryo creation, embryo banking, and/or fresh or frozen embryo transfer.
Patients can review available donor profiles through our Egg Donor Connect platform on the CHR website.
Frozen Donor Eggs
CHR also offers frozen eggs from egg donors who were previously stimulated and retrieved at our clinic. These eggs are already cryopreserved and available, which may allow for a more streamlined treatment timeline.
Profiles of available frozen egg donors can also be accessed through Egg Donor Connect on the CHR website.
Donor Embryos
In addition to donor egg options, CHR may offer access to donated embryos. These embryos have been generously donated by couples or individuals who successfully completed their own family-building journey and chose to give others the opportunity to pursue pregnancy.
Because each donated embryo cohort is unique, patients interested in this option can obtain additional details - including available embryo characteristics and suitability - by contacting our office or speaking directly with their clinical coordinator.
Current available donor embryos:
DE# 1091: Day-3 cleavage-stage embryo from egg and sperm donors (age 29 Caucasian female; young Persian male).
DE# 1092: Day-6 blastocyst-stage embryo from egg donor and patient (age 24 Caucasian -Swedish, German, English- female; age 59 Caucasian -Italian, German, English- male).

Center For Human Reproduction Reviews
Great doctor! Very professional, kind but also very delicate. Doctor Barad has always time for patient. He ask a lot before he gives a diagnosis. Highly recommend his experience and his clinic!
Great experience. Staff very kind and explained everything
While I was not successful in conceiving at The Center for Human Reproduction, I would absolutely recommend them. As someone who may be considered a more complex case, CHR gave me hope during a time when I truly needed it most.First and foremost, everyone there is wonderful. Friendly, kind, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. Even the front desk staff greeted us by name almost daily, which made such a difference during an emotional process. Maria and Sonia were especially exceptional, and I am also grateful for Dr. Gleicher. He was realistic while still being compassionate, and I trusted his professional opinion and expertise.The only reason we are no longer with CHR is because we are from Texas, and after spending two months in New York for two IVF cycles, we decided to pursue treatment closer to home.Now that I have experienced another clinic firsthand, I can honestly say the overall experience at CHR is unmatched. The ultrasounds, bloodwork, communication, organization, and cohesive care all felt efficient and personalized.As an out-of-towner, I also appreciated their Upper East Side location. Walking through Central Park after appointments became part of our routine, and somehow made a difficult experience feel a little lighter.I will always be grateful for the care, kindness, and hope CHR gave us.
Professional, knowledgeable and efficient. I would highly recommend this clinic.
Feeling hopeful again post consultation with Dr. Norbert Gleicher!
