The World Egg & Sperm Bank
Description
The World Egg & Sperm Bank (TWESB), headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, is a U.S.-based gamete bank specializing in both egg and sperm donation. They position themselves as compassionate, personalized, and innovative, maintaining their own medical, scientific, and laboratory facilities to ensure high quality and oversight. Since 2004, they have helped many families by combining robust scientific protocols with transparent donor selection, generous donor options, and support for intended parents throughout the process. Although based in the U.S., The World Egg & Sperm Bank supports clients globally. Their donor database is accessible by intended parents internationally, and client representatives are available to provide guidance at each stage of the process. TWESB offers affordable payment options intended to make donor services more accessible.
Donor types and services
TWESB offers a wide variety of egg donor options, allowing intended parents to search by physical traits (hair color, eye color, ethnicity, height, etc.), and choose among different donor types. They provide more than 500 donors in total across their egg and sperm bank, which helps intended parents find close matches. Identity disclosure terms are donor-type dependent: in many cases donors are anonymous (Non-ID Release), but they also offer “Open Identity Egg Donors” (ID Release) who permit identifying information to be revealed when required legally or upon request. Profiles include medical history, phenotypic characteristics, and personal traits; interested recipients can view donor listings directly via their donor search portal. TWESB provides donor eggs (vitrified and ready for transplant) in batches with various donor egg options and guarantees. They emphasize flexible payment programs and guarantee structures, so intended parents have clarity in what to expect. The exact batch sizes (e.g. number of eggs) and pricing per set are not fully disclosed. However, their “Options, Pricing, & Guarantees” section outlines different package types with varying degrees of assurance on outcomes (like embryo development or live birth guarantees).
Genetic test panel
While the specific genetic test panel isn’t fully public, their guarantee packages and donor requirements indicate they use stringent infectious disease and reproductive health protocols.
