How Seeds work
One Seed, one entry
Seeds are used to enter the monthly Hope Garden. One planted Seed equals one entry.
Earn more Seeds
Members can earn additional Seeds through engagement, learning activities and membership benefits.
Up to 1,000 Seeds a month
Members may plant up to 1,000 Seeds into any single monthly Hope Garden, and choose how many of their available Seeds they wish to plant.
Unplanted Seeds stay safe
Unplanted Seeds remain safely stored within your account until you choose to use them. Once planted, each Seed is entered into that month's Hope Garden.
Traceability
Unique Seed reference numbers
- Every planted Seed receives its own permanent unique reference number immediately after planting.
- Reference numbers are never duplicated.
- Reference numbers are never reused.
- If a Seed rolls into future months it keeps exactly the same reference number.
This means every planted Seed is fully traceable, from the moment it is planted to the moment a reference number is selected.

Eligibility
Members become eligible after maintaining an active Antega membership for one full calendar month.
Any Seeds planted before eligibility are not lost. They automatically roll into the following month's Hope Garden.
Rolling forward
If Antega is unable to provide fertility funding during any particular month, all eligible planted Seeds automatically roll forward into the next monthly Hope Garden.
Members never lose eligible planted Seeds simply because funding could not be awarded during a particular month, and the original Seed reference numbers remain unchanged.
Funding
Fertility funding
Our aim, honestly stated
Antega aims to provide fertility funding every month. However, all funding remains subject to the company's financial position and the funds available at the time.
Clinical decisions come first
Any fertility treatment funded by Antega is subject to confirmation by the treating fertility clinic that treatment is clinically appropriate. Antega cannot guarantee treatment where a clinic advises that treatment should not proceed.
Our Commitment to Fairness
Antega is committed to operating a fair, transparent and independently managed monthly selection process.
Every planted Seed receives its own permanent unique reference number.
Once the monthly Hope Garden closes, one eligible Seed reference number is selected using the TPAL Electronic Random Draw System.
This helps ensure every eligible entry has an equal opportunity to be selected.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
How do I earn Seeds?+
Seeds are included with your membership each month, and you can earn additional Seeds through engagement, learning activities and membership benefits such as attending webinars, completing checklists and planning tools.
How many Seeds can I plant?+
You may plant up to 1,000 Seeds into any single monthly Hope Garden. You choose how many of your available Seeds to plant — you never have to plant them all.
Do my Seeds expire?+
Unplanted Seeds remain safely stored within your account while your membership is active. Planted Seeds are entered into that month's Hope Garden and, where eligible, roll forward if no funding is awarded that month.
What happens if I cancel my membership?+
Seeds are a membership benefit. If you cancel, your membership benefits — including access to the Hope Garden and any unused Seeds — end when your membership ends.
Can I see my planted Seeds?+
Yes. Your account shows your available Seeds, the Seeds you have planted and their unique reference numbers, so you can trace every entry.
What happens if I am not yet eligible?+
Nothing is lost. Members become eligible after maintaining an active membership for one full calendar month. Seeds planted before eligibility automatically roll into the following month's Hope Garden with the same reference numbers.
What happens if Antega cannot provide funding during a month?+
All eligible planted Seeds automatically roll forward into the next monthly Hope Garden, keeping their original reference numbers. Members never lose eligible planted Seeds simply because funding could not be awarded during a particular month.
How is the winner selected?+
Once the monthly Hope Garden closes, one eligible Seed reference number is selected using the TPAL Electronic Random Draw System.
Who decides the winner?+
No one at Antega chooses the outcome. The selection is made by the TPAL Electronic Random Draw System, independently of Antega staff.
What is the TPAL Electronic Random Draw System?+
It is an electronic random draw system used to select a single Seed reference number from all eligible entries, so that every eligible entry has an equal opportunity to be selected.
Can my Seed win more than once?+
Each planted Seed reference number is entered for the month it is planted, and rolls forward unchanged where eligible. Once a Seed reference number has been selected it is not entered again, and reference numbers are never duplicated or reused.
