This is a small, well-managed clinic — no crowds, no chaos. Every appointment feels thoughtful and unhurried, with plenty of time for questions and clear explanations. The team is responsive to follow-ups and messages, which made me feel well-supported throughout. If you're considering surrogacy, this clinic truly simplifies the process. They're well-connected, organized, and everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Do not donate your eggs at this clinic — they are scammers.nThey promise to pay you exactly $5,000 within 90 days of the donation, but they never follow through. They disappear, ignore your calls, and never respond to emails.nnI trusted them. I went through the procedure on January 9, and to this day, I haven’t received any payment or even a response.nnDo not trust Michell Dang. She is the one who offers the service, making all kinds of promises, but once the donation is done, she vanishes — along with everyone else supposedly in charge of the compensation.nnStay away from this place. Don’t let them take advantage of you too..

I urge all potential egg donors, fertility professionals and Intended Parents to not proceed with this institution.nnAs someone involved in the fertility space, I have experienced firsthand serious concerns with this practice. Egg donors have reported not being paid more than 100 of them, for their time and commitment, and fertility professionals have been left without compensation for services rendered. There are also troubling reports of bills being placed under donors’ names, leading to collection notices—an extremely unethical and damaging practice.nnIn my opinion, this clinic has operated irresponsibly and unethically. The recent name change from Lane Fertility Institute to Conceptions Fertility appears to be an attempt to distance the practice from previous financial and legal issues, including outstanding debts and lawsuits.nnPlease protect yourself—do not donate or do business with this clinic. Promises may be made, but follow-through is unreliable, and communication becomes nonexistent when issues arise.nnEgg donors, fertility professionals and Intended Parents deserve transparency, respect, and integrity. Sadly, that has not been the experience here.nnPLEASE GO TO ANOTHER CLINIC.

After a year of timed intercourse at 35 with no success, I came to Lane Fertility with BBT charts and OPK photos. Instead of pushing expensive tests, Dr. Lane analyzed my 12-month cycle data and found I kept missing the actual ovulation window. The nurses taught me to combine OPKs with ultrasound tracking, scheduling scans around my night shifts.nnWhen three natural cycles failed, she prescribed low-dose letrozole but limited it to 5 days monthly: "We want minimal stimulation—your ovaries respond well." On transfer day, the embryologist was refreshingly honest: "This thawed embryo is grade-average. We have three more if needed."nnAt 6 weeks when I bled, they squeezed me in for a same-day scan. After confirming the heartbeat, Dr. Lane personally reviewed my progesterone levels weekly. Now 16 weeks along, they're still helping transition me to an OB..

I had a very disappointing experience with Lane Fertility Institute as a first time donor. My experience started back in October 2024 where I was welcomed with full time communication. That changed when it came time to donate my eggs. The week I went to Novato, my mom came as my companion. She didn't receive her flight information until the day of and arrived at the hotel where Lane Fertility booked our stay. Our hotel was utterly disgusting and disappointing to know that is where they put their donors. The hotel looked more like a crack den. My mother arrived late and had to navigate getting into the room. The hotel had no lights outside which is NOT safe for any women especially an egg donor. The door/hinge would not lock to the hotel room. It was not a place of comfort for any egg donor to rest their head during a critical experience. My mother had checked me and her into the Best Western that is only 3-5 minutes away from the hotel Lane Fertility TRIED to put us. The next day was my arrival and the flight was cancelled because Lane Fertility didn't pay the difference. Within 10-20 minutes, a new flight was booked and I had a hour to run to the gate on the other side of the airport. I arrive to Novato and thankfully my mom had rented a car because Lane Fertility didn't disburse my $600 gift card that they had promised for food, travel, or other amenities during my stay. It took about the 3rd day to finally receive my gift card. Our time at the hospital for my egg donation was fine. No complaints there until they took my eggs. The day after they took my eggs, I was feeling the worst of the worst and I had expressed to Michelle Dang that I don't know if I will be able to fly knowing how sick I was. She ensured everything will be fine and booked my flight to go to back to Los Angeles. The flight that was booked was a 5 hour flight versus a 2 hour flight back into Los Angeles. As soon as I got onto my flight to go back to Los Angeles, I threw up and was told I couldn't fly. My luggage and my dignity was left at the airport. Lane Fertility went ghost after I was kicked off my flight. They were unresponsive when it came to booking another night at a hotel since I was kicked off my flight after expressing how sick I was feeling to Michelle Dang. My mom extended her stay and booked another night for us to go to into Lane Fertility the next day to receive fluids. The next day I had the pleasure to meet Dr. Lane myself. Lane Fertility booked our flights to go back home. She gave me the fluids so I can go return home safely. I made it home safely but when it came to reimbursement for our extra stay, it was nonexistent. My pay for my egg donation was also nonexistent. It took about 4 months to finally receive my compensation from Lane Fertility. Lane Fertility was screening my calls, emails and blocking me so I had no access in getting contact with them. After threatening legal action, that's when Lane Fertility was open to giving me my compensation for egg donation. I advise no one to go to this egg fertility. They are taking advantage of young women especially as a woman of color - it is very upsetting to know that this is how they view and respect women and people of their own. Save yourself the headache and don't entertain this place.

Dr Lane and team have been wonderful partners over the years. I froze my eggs with Lane Fertility in 2018 which was a great experience, and when I had to change clinics due to moving, insurance, etc, Dr Lane helped remove a number of roadblocks. I highly recommend Dr Lane and her team for any fertility related services.

I had a very disappointing and concerning experience with Lane Fertility Institute as a first-time donor. After the procedure, I was asked to sign a legal document about future donations. I told them I would consider donating again, but only after receiving compensation for my previous cycle.nnShortly after, I received a call from Michelle Dang, the donor coordinator, asking if I would be interested in donating again. I expressed hesitation because I had not yet been compensated and had seen reviews from other donors stating they were not paid on time. Michelle told me they could expedite my payment if I agreed to donate again. However, after I stated that I was considering it, she later confirmed they would not expedite my previous compensation because I had hesitated — even though I never declined.nnWhen the date for my compensation arrived — which was the latest they could legally pay me — it became nearly impossible to get in touch with them to confirm that payment would be made on time.nnOn top of that, I received a bill from Quest Diagnostics for lab work that should have been covered by Lane Fertility. Despite repeatedly being told that the issue had been handled, Quest confirmed they had not received any communication from Lane Fertility. It took months of emails, phone calls, and texts before they finally resolved the billing issue.nnOverall, I felt unsupported and misled throughout this process. The lack of communication, delayed payment, and mishandling of the lab bill made me feel unsafe and undervalued as a donor. I would not recommend Lane Fertility Institute based on this experience..
