As a service to patients who are unable to produce or use their own eggs (oocytes), Dr Lolatgis offers couples assistance with accessing suitable Donor Eggs through his affiliation with a number of reputable Australian and overseas sources.

But even more importantly, he will help you to carefully weigh up the options of going with an Australian or overseas donor. Beyond the practical matter of egg availability, there are often significant legislative and cost differences to consider; as well as issues of whether or not any child born can ever identify or contact the donor who has helped create their life.

His focus is on allowing you to make an informed decision that takes full account of your personal beliefs and situation.

It may be that sourcing eggs from a friend or family member is a preferred (and viable) avenue for you; and where it is, he can discuss and explore this option in detail.
