When one or both partners face the inability to have a genetically related child, CORM's experienced staff can assist these couples with many third party options for builiding a family.
Egg Donation
CORM: Center of Reproductive Medicine offers an on-site, active Egg Donor Program for patients needing this service.
Donor Eggs increase the possibility of successful pregnancies for:
- women with premature ovarian failure,
- women whose own eggs are of poor quality,
- women in the older reproductive age group (under age 50), or
- women with chromosomal translocations or genetic diseases that they wish to avoid passing on to their offspring.
Egg Donation has been in practice in the U.S. since 1986.
It is CORM’s goal to involve each couple actively throughout the egg donation process and to provide a positive, nurturing experience.
CORM allows the recipient couple to choose a known donor, to select from our donor list of anonymous donors, or to select a donor from an outside egg donor agency.
The egg donor process takes approximately 6-10 weeks depending on the donor selected and the screening tests required.
If you are interested in becoming an egg donor for an infertile couple, please call

Gestational Carriers
CORM can also assist couples who require the services of a gestational carrier.
A couple undergoes In-Vitro Fertilization using their eggs and sperm and the resulting embryos are transferred to a surrogate.
Reasons a couple may need a gestational carrier:
- absence of a fetus,
- uterine abnormalities,
- medical conditions that make pregnancy risky for a woman’s health, or
- immunological abnormalities which may increase the chances of a miscarriage.
