Lucina adheres to the highest clinical standards for donor screening and egg handling. 

Each donor undergoes a full medical exam, psychological assessment, infectious disease testing, drug testing, and genetic analysis. Only mature, structurally healthy eggs are vitrified and stored under controlled conditions in our on-site lab, ensuring consistency and safety.

When comparing success rates across egg banks, always check how they’re calculated. Lucina uses per-cycle data, showing actual probability per attempt. 

Other banks may use cumulative per-patient rates, which can appear higher because they combine multiple attempts. Understanding this difference helps you evaluate true success potential.

Our higher success rates stem from total quality control and individualized care:

• Only 3–5% of candidates qualify for our donor program.
  
• Each donor receives customized stimulation protocols.
  
• All procedures and vitrification are performed in-house at our San Diego laboratory.

This closed-loop system maintains consistency, accuracy, and superior egg quality.

Lucina reports success rates on a per-thaw basis, meaning each cycle of egg thawing is counted individually. This method offers a more accurate picture of success per attempt and avoids the inflated percentages that can occur when reporting per-patient (cumulative) rates.

Lucina’s results reflect our commitment to excellence. Based on 2022 data from physician-stimulated cycles:

• Frozen Egg Survival Rate: 92.2% (Industry Average: 63.5%)
  
• Clinical Pregnancy Rate per Transfer: 61.5% (Industry Average: 47.6%)
  
• First-Transfer Pregnancy Rate: ≈ 77%

These figures confirm Lucina’s standing as a top-performing egg bank nationwide.

Lucina’s primary facility is located at 3661 Valley Centre Drive, Suite 160, San Diego, CA 92130. All retrievals and laboratory procedures occur on-site. We collaborate with fertility clinics across the U.S. and worldwide to ship frozen eggs safely and efficiently to your clinic of choice.
