Why egg donation with Militta
Militta has been running donor programs since 2015. Our donor database is curated by Liudmyla Bratko, our Donor & Surrogate Curator, and governed by a strict screening protocol that rejects more than 90% of applicants.
- Rigorous screening. Every donor passes medical, genetic, infectious and psychological screening before being added to the database. You never see an unvetted profile.
- Pre-screened, ready-to-cycle donors. In most cases we match you within 2–4 weeks and proceed directly to stimulation — no long waiting lists.
- Transparent costs. Cycles are fixed-price; optional add-ons (PGT-A, guaranteed egg minimums, open donation) are quoted in writing upfront.
- Donor wellbeing first. Donors receive full medical monitoring, fair compensation and psychological support. We never rush a cycle for commercial reasons.
Who egg donation is for
Egg donation is appropriate when:
- The intended mother has diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency or low AMH.
- The intended mother is over 42 and several cycles with her own eggs have not produced viable embryos.
- A genetic condition makes using the intended mother's eggs risky.
- Gay male intended parents are building a family (combined with surrogacy).
- Single intended fathers are building a family (combined with surrogacy).
The egg donation process, step by step
- Consultation with Militta. Liudmyla and our medical coordinator Yulia review your medical history, decide whether donor eggs are appropriate, and scope the right program.
- Profile matching. We present 5–10 pre-screened donor profiles matching your preferences (ethnicity, height, education, open vs. anonymous). You shortlist; we share additional information on your choices.
- Legal and financial setup. Notarised donor consent, clinic contract, escrow funded.
- Donor stimulation and retrieval. 10–14 days of ovarian stimulation, daily monitoring, egg retrieval under sedation. Typical yield: 12–18 mature oocytes.
- Fertilisation. Eggs are fertilised with your partner's (or donor) sperm via ICSI. Embryos cultured to blastocyst (day 5–6).
- Optional PGT-A. If requested, embryos are biopsied and tested for chromosomal abnormalities.
- Embryo transfer or freeze. Fresh transfer to you or your surrogate, or vitrification for a later transfer cycle.

Pairing donor eggs with surrogacy
Many Militta clients combine donor-egg IVF with a surrogacy pathway. The right combination depends on your marital status, sexual orientation and preferred destination:
- Married heterosexual couples — typically Ukraine or Georgia.
- Same-sex male couples, single intended fathers — Colombia, Mexico or the USA.
Legal note
Ukrainian law (Article 48 of the Fundamentals of Ukrainian Health Care Legislation and Ministry of Health orders) explicitly permits egg donation. The donor renounces all rights to the oocytes and any child born from them through notarised written consent. Militta coordinates the full legal package.
