My husband and I found Fertility Match through a recommendation from our lawyer and we could not be happier with our choice!!! We had looked at a different Canadian agency but friends of ours had a previous bad experience… and both our lawyer and clinic shared the concerns. We wanted an agency that was going to be of high integrity, legally sound, and was looking out for our best interests. From the first phone call with Liz and Lisa we knew right away they were “The One”!

One thing that drew us to them was that they have experience from both sides of the process… Liz is a former Intended Parent and Lisa was a Gestational Surrogate. They make sure everyone in the process is looked after.  It’s amazing to have the support for ourselves, but also to know that our Surrogate is getting support throughout the process as well. 

One major thing that made us want to work with them above other agencies…  they made clear to us that they carefully choose Surrogates and Intended Parents to be a part of their program. They spend the time to find out if people are in this for the right reasons and don’t accept all applicants. They introduced us to the most incredible Surrogate within 2 months of submitting our profile… I didn’t know that people as kind and altruistic as her could exist… she is truly a super-human! We are now 8 1/2 weeks pregnant!!

They have truly made this an incredible experience for us… from details like driving down to Toronto to visit us, sending gift baskets and congratulatory phone calls, they make it such a personalized experience and it is so clear they are passionate about what they do! I highly highly recommend using these ladies!

I had chosen to learn and try the Egg donation process because a friend of mine suggested I’d be a great candidate and she would have chosen me had that been an option! Her and her husband had gone through an egg donation twice for the two kids they have together because she was unable to have her own.

The process went super well with the clinic I was provided with and I followed every instruction the doctors had given me to make sure nothing went wrong and I had a great experience!

I would 100% recommend Fertility Match to friends or anyone interested in donating because they are quick with replies, reimbursements, and always check in to make sure you are feeling okay and everything is going well!

I’m glad I chose to try Fertility Match and they made the experience easy for me.

I will be donating again through Fertility Match and thank them for the awesome opportunity they are giving to Intended Parents and families!

I have no words to explain how satisfying and exciting it feels to know that you are helping someone make a family.

I had no major concerns about the donation process. Since day one, Liz and the team made sure that they told me everything in detail. But in case I had any concerns, they were resolved quickly by Liz. Most of all, I was scared to be left alone in this journey. But none of that happened. Liz and the Intended Mother were very supporting and caring. Even my doctor said me, "what you are doing is good karma and it will surely bring you good in the future." Who can have any concerns when people with whom you are working are so supportive and encouraging? Liz was always just a phone call away. Just like my own mother, she checked on me before and after my appointments and during the whole donation phase. I couldn't have asked for more from her.

My egg donation journey has been amazing. Every minor as well as major issue was well dealt with. It was made sure that there was no discomfort experienced by me.

I would recommend Fertility Match to all my friends interested in being Egg Donors. There is no other place that could make you feel good about yourself and appreciate what you are doing. I even asked my own sister to be an Egg Donor for Fertility Match.

I have completed my first egg donation and it was amazing. I was surprised at how easy the whole process was. Liz was always there if I needed anything throughout my journey. I decided to donate my eggs because I know the love and joy that comes from being a parent. A few years ago I had decided to go forward with tubal ligation after my third daughter was born. I knew I had a good chance of producing fertile eggs. I wanted to be able to help couples grow their families.

Liz along with everyone else from Fertility Match made me feel comfortable throughout the donation process. Liz was truly there for me every step of the way, I never felt alone. She did a great job at keeping me and the Intended Parents updated!

I decided on egg donation because I wanted to help a woman who struggles with infertility. I think that every woman who wants to be a mother should have the opportunity to be one, regardless of her reproductive health. I am glad that I could be a part of some woman’s individual journey to becoming a mom.

I was concerned about my body and health being affected long-term, or putting myself through a difficult recovery, but my egg donation journey has been a lot easier than I expected. It’s been great working with Mercedes and Liz. They’ve been organized and helpful, and have really made this process a dream. Also, the whole process, procedure and recovery was not what I feared. It was all very simple with the help and care of Fertility Match and the clinic.

I would definitely recommend Fertility Match to other potential egg donors. There are lots of agencies out there to choose from, but Fertility Match is one of a kind. They genuinely appreciate their donors and care for them as such. With Fertility Match, I never felt out of the loop, forgotten about, or taken advantage of. I didn’t feel like just another Egg Donor to them - I felt like they were personal friends helping me through this unique process.

Fertility Match is something I happened upon one day while exploring the idea of egg donation. I wanted to get involved and help others with this for personal reasons. I’ve watched many of my friends struggle, as well as being a nurse in an oncology field. I watched fertility get taken away from women in their prime child bearing years. When I decided that two children of my own was enough, I knew that I had this great blessing of conceiving and wanted to share it rather than leave my eggs to waste with age and time.

I contacted Fertility Match, who worked with me in depth to understand the process, and how to proceed. I was on the donor list for a little while, with regular check-ins from Mercedes. Soon, the day came and a family was interested! The process was complicated and overwhelming at first, but made easier and so exciting with the ongoing, unconditional support of the Fertility Match team. They continuously answered my (many) questions, and frequently checked in on me and my well-being. They jumped through hoops to make this donation work smoothly as it happened out of my home province, and organized bringing my children and husband along.

I can’t thank this team of dedicated women enough for their ongoing support through this process, with lives of their own they still made it a priority to be present for me and advocate for my health and needs through this process. I am finishing this donation with a full heart and nothing but respect and admiration for the Fertility Match team. Thank you again Liz, Lisa, and Mercedes, for the phenomenal work you do.

A million thanks to Fertility Match! Liz, Lisa & Mercedes have helped us make our life dream come true and now we have our beautiful little one in our arms. We are forever grateful to our incredible Surrogate for helping us so selflessly. It has been a wonderful experience with Fertility Match!

I have had the most wonderful experience with Fertility Match! I was a gestational surrogate last year and delivered a healthy baby girl for a wonderful couple. Fertility Match was with me every step of the way - I liked it so much, I'm going to do it again!!

I had an amazing experience donating eggs with Fertility Match! I had been thinking about it in an abstract way for a couple of months. My brother-in-law is gay, and he and his partner have mentioned they would need help to start their eventual family given that they have zero ovaries between the two of them. I also know a few women who have had cancer treatments that left them needing an Egg Donor, so it was definitely on my radar. I found Fertility Match and after checking out their website, figured that this was probably the agency for me. I really liked their values and the emphasis they put on ethics. After my experience, I can confidently say I was totally right!

Everyone at Fertility Match was super supportive and knowledgeable about the whole donation process. I was only on their database for a few weeks before I was selected, and Liz made sure that I had everything I needed throughout every stage of my donation. She even passed on messages from the Intended Parents who selected me throughout the whole process, which was really nice! When I started my medication, Liz gave me her personal phone number so I could reach her in the evening or on the weekend if I needed to. Even though my donation was taking place outside of my hometown, the Fertility Match team helped me organize all of my appointments and travel, so it was really easy for me to work around my job and personal life.

Liz checked in with me all the time while I was taking the meds, just to make sure that everything was going ok. Fertility Match even sent me the most adorable care package full of chocolate and candy, which was so sweet! My procedure ended up being at a weird time and I had to stay overnight away from home, but when I told Liz and Lisa they immediately found me a hotel to stay in and made sure that everything went smoothly the day of. I felt like everyone at Fertility Match really cared, not just about my health, but also about my overall experience, which I really appreciate! Overall, doing an egg donation with Fertility Match was a great experience and I couldn’t recommend them more for anyone considering it!

We were 100% confident in our choice of Fertility Match. This wasn’t the only agency we contacted and what made us decide was that one first phone call with Liz. She was personable, encouraging and passionate, spoke from her own experience and it was clear she truly cared. 

We were so green with third-party reproduction and it was important to us to find a reputable agency we can trust. Fertility Match required that we submit a detailed Intended Parents profile and that made us feel that we and the connection with our potential Donor were taken very seriously. And true to that, the commitment was there all the way till the end.  We knew Fertility Match cared greatly about everyone involved in the process and that was important to us given the incredible selfless act of kindness our Donor was going to do for us.

We are physically located far from the Ottawa area, yet the distance didn’t make a difference as the entire process goes conveniently and efficiently with the help of technology. Liz was only an email away and kept us very well informed in facilitating our connection with the Donor and everyone else involved. She connected us with other professionals experienced in the field of third-party reproduction who we needed along the way and who we could rely on. Fertility Match is truly the agency we could trust with this most important journey of our lives. Highly recommend and we are grateful for all the work that they do!

I would rate my Fertility Match experience five stars!

I was an Egg Donor. The process was seamless. The collaboration between Fertility Match and the fertility centre were timely, caring and effective! I felt like a part of the team and as if this was something we were all going through together. Fertility Match made me feel cared about and that I was unique!

Thank you to all involved. I highly recommend Fertility Match and their Egg Donation Program.

We are extremely happy with our wonderful experience using Fertility Match! We chose Fertility Match because the founders had personal experience with the process. Because of their firsthand knowledge and experience, they understand very well the anxieties and concerns of their clients. Their down to earth, warm and caring natures are evident as they work very hard to ensure a well-organized, thoughtful, and fully supported journey to parenthood!

 

For us, we felt they really took the time to understand us, as well as the needs of our surrogate. Their attention to detail and willingness to listen and make changes and corrections to accommodate us were fantastic. They were always available when we needed their assistance, and went above and beyond our expectations in taking care of our mental and emotional well-being through this experience with care and sensitivity.

 

It was clear from the start they knew what they were doing. They shepherded us through all the logistical and administrative hoops, kept track of every step and really helped us avoid unnecessary headaches along the way. They carefully managed our journey with the amazing and lovely lady who carried our baby. The surrogate’s warm and happy personality and health consciousness helped nurture and grow our child in the best possible conditions! We were blessed with the arrival of an extremely healthy baby.

 

We felt we could truly trust their recommendations for other services such as the lawyers to draft our agreement, and for psychologists. We felt like we were treated with love and respect during this very personal activity and not just as a client in a business transaction. We would 100% recommend their services and use them again if we were ever to pursue another surrogacy journey.

It has been a rough couple of years. Any couple that finds their way to looking into the possibility of finding a Surrogate has probably had a twisting turning journey to get to this point. We’ve yoyo-ed between hope and disappointment so many times, and now we’ve got to trust someone else with our precious embryo. It is a humbling, scary, stressful thing to do. Thank goodness for Fertility Match!

We were referred to Fertility Match just as they were starting up. Liz and Lisa took the time to really get to know us and understand our journey and our needs. It was so easy to talk to them. They really understood our situation as they’d been through it themselves – Liz from the Intended Parent side, and Lisa from the Surrogate perspective. They have come to feel like team members, cheering us on, and stepping in for support through the process when we’ve needed it. They coach us, hope with us, get nervous with us, and get excited with us. They brought us the kind of woman as a Surrogate that we could only hope for – a wonderful woman with a big heart and a generous spirit. She is kind, caring, bubbly and determined. She feels like family. If I can’t carry the baby myself, I am glad she is the one to do it.
