If not SGFC for DE then what local clinic would your recommend for DE?

OP here - so did this cover your donor egg fees, screenings, as well as transfer costs? I'm guessing you used frozen embryos.

Thanks for the information.

PP here. Frozen eggs, not embryos. It included almost everything - from accessing the database and chosing the donor, thaw of the eggs, my husband's "contribution", to the fertilization, to the transfer.

It did not include any necessary pre-screening tests on me or any post transfer checkups (which = about 3 Beta blood tests at Labcorp and 2 or 3 sonos at an OB office - which I did all locally.)

To me it made good financial sense, especially since I was quoted 65% chance of getting pregnant if transferring one embryo and 75% with two. There is also a guarantee program for about $30k, which initially attracted me to them but I did not wind up opting for it in the end.

We had a horrible experience at SGFC but had a good experience at VCRM.

I was the one who posted about ORM at $18,000. This was several years ago so no doubt prices have increased.

Oh, ORM also offers a guarantee program, but we opted not to do it since their success rate was over 80% for DE.

OP here. Thank you for the information. I'm actually interested in finding out more - the cost is more manageable than I anticipated. I meant to say frozen eggs - sorry - but wondered if you were able to do a fresh transfer.

I'm the other ORM poster. We also didn't do the guarantee because the success rate is so high and because these days the guarantee program is extremely expensive.

I used RBA and couldn't be happier (previous 5x SG IVF). RBA did a much more comprehensive workup and I got pregnant the first time.

I didn't do DE at VCRM but I did do IVF there. Dr. Sharara is the best.
