What is the difference between fresh and frozen donor cycles?
Fresh cycles involve stimulation of the donor, retrieval and insemination of her eggs, with transfer to the recipient, all within a few weeks time. With a frozen egg cycle, donors have been treated in advance, with the eggs collected and frozen for future use. Recipients using frozen eggs will select their donor as the eggs are needed.
