{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Where can I obtain donor sperm and/or eggs?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"<p>Due to the very personal nature of selecting a sperm donor that is right for you, PFC is unable to advise upon which donor or bank to use. However, it is recommended that you find a bank with which you are happy first, and then find a donor within that bank. The sperm bank should be within the US and needs to be inspected and licensed by the US FDA. Your care team will share our Donor Sperm Informational Packet to guide you through the donor selection step of your care journey.</p>\n<p>Fresh donor eggs are available through our Egg Donor Agency and frozen donor eggs are available through the Pacific Fertility Egg Bank. A fresh egg donation cycle allows patients to experience the cycle simultaneously with the donor. In a frozen donor egg cycle, egg donors are stimulated, and all mature eggs are vitrified (frozen) before the donor is added to the database.</p>"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do we select a gestational carrier?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"<p>Choosing a Gestational Carrier is one of the most personal and intimate decisions of this process.
