Egg share donors and non-patient egg donors

Egg share donors are patients who donate some of their eggs to up to two recipients in each cycle, whilst retaining the rest of the eggs for their own treatment
Non-patient egg donors are women who donate all their eggs in a treatment cycle
The numbers of ‘All Egg Donors’ in the table below are slightly higher than the numbers of ‘New Donor Registrations’. This is because the new donor registrations table only counts donors once, the first time they are registered. If donors donated in a subsequent year, they are counted again in the below table if they are used in treatment that year
Figures have slightly changed since our last publication due to improvements in the quality of our data
The proportion of Egg share donors has increased since our last publication. Then, the data relied solely on egg sharing cycles being expressly identified by the centre: our latest analysis allows us to identify these cycles more accurately
This treatment and patient data was extracted from the HFEA's data warehouse containing Register data as at 22/12/2011.
