Donor Experience & Alternative Families

Fertility Centers of Illinois is the largest, most reputable fertility center in the Midwest. FCI helps more people become parents through the use of donor options. FCI has had 10,000 babies born.

FCI performs over 400 Egg Donation treatment cycles every year. These numbers are important because they reflect experience, results and patient satisfaction with our performance and coordination of this complex procedure. The overall success rate in the egg donation program is excellent.

FCI’s staff personally recruits, screens, and matches nearly all of the egg donors in our anonymous donor program. Our easy-to-use secure, on-line database allows intended parents to search through our donor profiles for specific criteria such as ethnicity, education or physical appearance.

In addition to our own donor program, FCI works with some of the most established and reputable agencies in the U.S., located right here in Chicago through the Donor Network Alliance and other reputable agencies

Whether you choose a donor from FCI or another agency, our staff will provide hands on management of the process. FCI follows the guidelines established by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and the regulations set by the Food and Drug Administration to ensure the safety and success for all egg donors and intended parents.

Our clinical donor recipient team and our egg donation team work closely together to provide a positive experience and the highest level of quality control for our donors and consistent success rates for our recipient couples.

FCI’s experienced, expert donor team will help you navigate the often complex medical, legal and psychological aspects of this process.
