Find a Middle Eastern egg donor
Browse egg donors of Persian, Lebanese, Armenian, Turkish and other Middle Eastern heritage in our egg donor database, where you can filter by ethnicity and narrow by heritage. You can match one-to-one through our Fresh Matching Program or choose frozen eggs from our Frozen Egg Bank. Registration is free, takes a few minutes, and opens up every detailed donor profile.
Get an email when a new Middle Eastern donor joins
New Middle Eastern donors are added to the egg donor database regularly, and new frozen egg cohorts are listed as they become available, so the right match can appear at any time. A saved search keeps watch for you, so you don't have to log in every day to check.
1. Open the egg donor database and choose Middle Eastern under Ethnicity in the filters on the left. Add anything else that matters to you, such as eye color, height or education. To narrow to a specific background, such as Persian, Lebanese, Armenian or Turkish, click More filters and use the Heritage filter too.
2. Click Save this search at the top right, and the search is named and saved for you automatically.
3. We email you when a new donor matching your search is added, so you can review her profile right away.
What Middle Eastern egg donors does Donor Nexus have available?
Our database holds more than 500 donor profiles across all ethnicities and is updated as new donors join. You can filter the database by ethnicity, and each detailed donor profile lists the donor's maternal and paternal heritage, so you can see whether her background is Persian, Lebanese, Armenian, or another Middle Eastern heritage before you choose. Availability changes often, so the database is the most accurate place to see who is currently matched, in cycle, or available. Register for free to browse current profiles, or ask your case manager to run the search for you.
Donor Nexus has also represented donors of Egyptian, Syrian and Iraqi heritage. Each detailed egg donor profile lists the languages she speaks, her religion where she chooses to share it, and whether she offers non-identified, identified, or Open ID donation, and our donor egg programs overview compares fresh and frozen side by side.
How does matching with a Middle Eastern donor work?
Fresh Matching Program
In a fresh cycle you are matched one-to-one with a donor, she travels to your IVF clinic for monitoring and retrieval, and you receive every viable egg from that retrieval. Donor Nexus fresh cycles average 28.9 eggs retrieved and 22.6 mature eggs. Many families choose fresh when they hope to create enough embryos for a future sibling. A fresh cycle usually takes four to six months from match to retrieval, with most of that time spent on donor screening.
Frozen Egg Bank
Frozen Middle Eastern donor eggs are available in cohorts of six and can be shipped to your clinic anywhere in the United States. Eggs are retrieved, vitrified, and stored at a single Southern California site and shipped once, directly to your clinic. Frozen eggs usually reach your clinic within four to six weeks of paperwork and payment, and each cohort comes with the blastocyst guarantee described on the Frozen Egg Bank page.
Where are our Middle Eastern egg donors located?
Our Middle Eastern heritage donors are based both in the United States and abroad. At the time of writing, donors of Middle Eastern background in our program are located in California, Israel, and Brazil, and the location is shown on each profile. Donors in the Fresh Matching Program travel to your U.S. clinic wherever they live, with travel included in the program fee, and frozen eggs ship to clinics throughout the United States, so the donor's location does not limit your options. International shipping and donor travel are now limited by regulations in many countries, so most of our international intended parents choose to travel to a U.S. clinic for treatment, and our team can help coordinate that process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Register for free at Donor Nexus, open the donor database, and set the Ethnicity filter to Middle Eastern. Each profile then lists the donor's maternal heritage and paternal heritage, so you can see whether a donor's background is Persian, Lebanese, Egyptian, Armenian, or another Middle Eastern heritage. The filter works across both the Fresh Matching Program and the Frozen Egg Bank. If you would rather not search yourself, a case manager can review your criteria and send matching profiles.
Availability changes as new donors join and matches are made. Register, run a search with the Ethnicity filter set to Middle Eastern, and choose Save this search to be emailed when a new donor who matches is listed. A case manager can also note your criteria and reach out when a matching donor joins the program.
Each donor profile lists maternal and paternal heritage, so when Lebanese, Egyptian, Armenian, Turkish, Syrian, or Iraqi heritage donors are in the program you can see that background on the profile under the Middle Eastern ethnicity filter.
