Making dreams REAL
SHADY GROVE FERTILITY IS AMERICA’S LARGEST AND MOST PROGRESSIVE FERTILITY CENTRE AND HAS NOW BECOME THE FIRST CHOICE FOR SAME- SEX PATIENTS FROM THE UK
DONOR EGG/GESTATIONAL CARRIER OPTIONS
To complete their journeys toward parenthood, many same-sex couples in the UK choose Shady Grove Fertility, an international leader in fertility treatment, for a variety of reasons in addition to their high success rates.
For same-sex couples, Shady Grove Fertility offers a comprehensive internal database that includes pictures and detailed information about each of their available egg donors. A rigorous screening process ensures donors are qualified, and the Center allows couples the freedom to choose their own donors. The practice works with a number of prominent gestational carrier agencies to connect patients with the right carrier for them. International patients receive a personalised concierge service with their Patient Liaison, who provides support and guidance throughout all stages of the journey.
In addition to top quality care, Shady Grove Fertility offers qualified patients a Shared Risk 100% Refund Program. This program ensures the delivery of a baby or a refund of the patients’ money. Similarly, Shady Grove Fertility offers the Shared Donor Egg Program. Here, a patient can elect to share a donor’s eggs with up to two other recipients. Sharing an egg donor does not compromise success rates and reduces the cost of treatment by up to 50%.
500 UK BABIES BORN

ONLY TWO VISITS TO THE US
Shady Grove Fertility is a long standing UK/ US fertility program and offers couples in the UK an affordable and successful path towards
parenthood. Even though it is out of the country, only two short visits to the Washington DC area are required, and there is no wait to begin treatment. Their extensive donor pool provides patients plenty of options and flexibility when choosing their egg donors. Considering 37,000 babies have been born through Shady Grove Fertility, it is no wonder the Center has become the first choice for patients from the United Kingdom.
