Importance Announcement: Apricity is ceasing all operations from 1st January 2025
Our 1:1 Fresh egg donation package gives you the best possible chance of pregnancy success and creating a family with genetically related siblings in the future. We're to help you on your journey.
1:1 egg donation involves all of a donor’s eggs going exclusively to you, on average this is around 16 eggs from one donor. The more eggs that you have from your donor, the more embryos you will be able to create. With more embryos are more opportunities for future IVF cycles, and creating a family with genetically-related siblings in the future.
With our 1:1 egg donation package, you and the donor will undergo treatment on the same day. Once the donor’s egg collection is complete, the eggs will be fertilised with the sperm from your partner or sperm donor, creating embryos to transfer in a cycle, known as a fresh embryo transfer. The remaining embryos are stored for future cycles.

For both sides we build a profile that takes into account characteristics, jobs, hobbies, interests, values, humour and education. Once we have a good understanding, we go out and look for a donor that matches the criteria. Once we’ve been given the go ahead from the recipient, we actively start looking for a donor. This includes advertising on various channels, working with our team of donor ambassadors and hosting events and webinars to engage with potential egg donors. We get to know our egg donors really well, building comprehensive profiles to share.
In addition to matching physical attributes, we also want to provide the opportunity to get a feel of the donor as a person. We provide donors with a lengthy questionnaire to complete called the Personal Profile. After the answers are checked for identifying information, they are shared with the recipients.
Questions donors may see on the profile include: ‘What made you donate?’, ‘What is your career?’, ‘What are your likes and dislikes?’, ‘What makes you angry?’ and, ‘If you had unlimited time and money, how would you spend them?’
The Personal Profile is an incredibly meaningful tool. For recipients, it’s a window into the donor’s mind, and for the donor, an opportunity to share it. And for us, it’s supplementary information to help us get the match right.
On top of general information, medical history and personal profile, we ask donors to share a non-identifying photo of themselves as a baby or a toddler, which is then shared with the recipient, if they wish. Donors are under no obligation to do this, but many choose to.
We also have photos of the donors as adults, and use these to help us match on the physical side. However, because they are identifying, we cannot share these with recipients.
We know time matters with egg donation, and unlike egg banks or many clinics, we can match you within weeks, not years. Currently, it takes around 4-6 weeks to be matched with an Altrui egg donor, although it does also depend on how specific your requirements are and whether a donor comes forward who matches your criteria.
All of our egg donors are all based in the UK, and thanks to our virtual pathways and network of clinics you (and they) can get started relatively quickly from home and receive treatment as close to home as possible.
Once we are confident we have made a match, we share as much non-identifying information as the recipients like. Again, this is very personal – some recipients love as much donor information as possible, and come back with lots of questions. Others don’t feel comfortable with too much. There is no right or wrong way, and we’ll tailor our approach according to your wishes.
If the recipient or recipient couple agree with the match, we can proceed with the next step. If for some reason the recipient doesn’t agree, we try to understand the reasoning, and set out to look for a replacement.
Once the recipient agrees, we can let the donor know that we’ve made a match. This can be a really emotional and wonderful moment for the egg donor, and we’ve had these amazing ladies shed tears of happiness as a result before. We have the unique privilege of getting to know these wonderful women, who are driven, above all, by the desire to help someone else.
It is at this point that we can make arrangements for fertility treatment.

You will not necessarily be required to take all of the medication that is included in your treatment package and you may be advised to take medication that is not included in your treatment package.
£750 Donor compensation fee
In some cases, your consultant may prescribe additional medications on an individual basis to address specific concerns, for example, preventing blood clotting.
Some of these may not be included in your treatment package and would therefore be subject to additional charges.
Pergoveris
Clexane and Aspirin
Trental
Steroids (eg prednisolone)
Thyroxine
Progesterone Injections (eg lubion or IM injections)
In some cases, the eggs or embryos will require a 3 month quarantine before being available for treatment. A repeat screening test is required at the end of this quarantine period for the egg donor. This repeat test is an additional charge.
If Consultations are cancelled or rescheduled with more than 48 hours' notice before your scheduled appointment, you will not be charged.
If cancelled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours' notice, you will be charged in full for the consultation. In the event that the donor withdraws during the donor screening and assessment phase (or is not deemed medically suitable), we will continue to find a Suitable Egg Donor Candidate for you within six months.
If we do not offer you a Suitable Egg Donor Candidate within six months you will be entitled to a refund of £8500.
A Suitable Egg Donor Candidate is a person who meets the guidelines issued by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) as far as we can ascertain, whom Apricity has assessed on the basis of age, BMI, AMH and family medical history only, and whom Apricity reasonably believes is a reasonable match to the client?s Minimum Specified Requirements for a Suitable Egg Donor Candidate.
Minimum Specified Requirements for a Suitable Egg Donor Candidate means the following physical characteristics as specified by the Client; eye colour, hair colour, ethnicity, and height within 10cm. The client may decline any Suitable Egg Donor Candidate suggested by Apricity however the Egg Donor Recruitment Services will be complete, and no refund will be due as we have provided a Suitable Egg Donor Candidate to the client in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. We will however continue to assist you to endeavour to find other Suitable Egg Donor Candidates for the remaining period specified in Terms and Conditions for no additional fee. If we have offered 4 Suitable Egg Donor Candidates and you have chosen not to accept any offers, your agreement for Egg Donor Recruitment and Matching Services will be terminated and no refund will be due. We reserve the right to terminate the Services at any time and for any reason. In such a situation, fees will be refunded based on the number of whole months of the twelve-month contract left to run at the time of the termination.
If donor cycle is abandoned before egg collection refund due = £2380.
If recipient embryo transfer cycle is abandoned after day 10 scan and before Embryo Transfer refund due = £1500.
If recipient embryo transfer cycle is abandoned after starting progesterone support medication refund due = £500.
