How do I reserve cohorts for sibling or future use?

Lucina allows you to reserve incoming cohorts or store purchased cohorts safely in our facility for future cycles or sibling planning. This ensures genetic continuity and peace of mind as you plan for your family’s future growth.

Do you provide clinic-specific thaw protocols or embryology support?

Yes. Lucina’s scientific team supplies detailed clinic-specific thaw protocols, including guidance on embryo culture and quality checks. For new clinics, our embryology support staff is available to assist remotely, ensuring consistency and confidence in lab performance.

How do you ensure quality during international shipping and thawing?

Lucina uses vitrification, the most advanced egg-freezing technology, to preserve quality. Every shipment is temperature-monitored and tracked door-to-door. Upon arrival, Lucina provides thawing instructions and embryology support to maximize fertilization and embryo development success rates.

Can international intended parents work with Lucina, and how does coordination differ?

Yes. We work with international IVF centers worldwide, handling all logistics from documentation to secure transport. Coordination includes international scheduling, customs compliance, and providing your clinic with custom thaw protocols to ensure safe, seamless integration.

What happens if the surrogate doesn’t get pregnant?

If your surrogate’s cycle is unsuccessful, your clinic will assess the next steps. 

Lucina’s guarantee programs protect your outcome and financial investment:

  • Live Birth Guarantee ($49,800): Provides up to six cohorts until you achieve a live birth or four PGT-A embryos.
  • Refund Assurance: If the guaranteed outcome isn’t achieved, you receive a full refund (excluding shipping).

This structure ensures your financial protection even when clinical factors vary.

Can single parents or same-sex couples apply?

Yes. Lucina welcomes and supports LGBTQ+ individuals, single parents, and couples from all backgrounds, including cancer survivors and those requiring donor assistance. Every family-building journey is unique, and our programs are designed for inclusivity and accessibility.
