[Columbia, SC]-[March 18, 2006]-Couples considering egg donor programs, as treatment
for infertility, have more affordable options than those characterized on a national
morning news program.

Advanced Fertility & Reproductive Endocrinology Institute, in West Columbia,
South Carolina, has direct relationships with quality egg donors that eliminate
so-called "egg brokers" and dramatically reduce the expense for donor recipients.

On the NBC program "Today" yesterday morning, an egg broker was a featured guest
and quoted egg donor expenses at levels three or more times that of the Columbia,
SC specialty clinic.

"We have the benefit of having a good population of local donors who have been
carefully screened for a benevolent attitude. We look for qualified young women
who truly have a heart for helping couples in need of a donated egg," stated Dr.
Gail-Whitman Elia, Advanced Fertility\'s director and founder. "Only about two out
of one hundred applicants are accepted through our rigid screening and the more
affordable cost of living in our area allows us to service couples for a fraction
of the expense associated with large city facilities."

Dr. Whitman-Elia also credited the fine colleges and universities in the Columbia
area as another reason top quality donors are available locally.

"The bottom line is that couples don\'t have to deal with an egg broker and the
associated higher expense," stated Dr. Whitman-Elia. "Centers like ours eliminate
the middleman leading to the same therapies at a more reasonable patient
investment"
