Egg Donation

Ovum (egg) donation is a process where the eggs of a healthy young woman (the egg donor) are fertilized with the sperms from the patient’s husband, and the resulting embryos are then transferred into the patient’s uterus. This process not only gives the couple the gift of parenthood but also gives the woman the opportunity to experience the joys of being pregnant.

The Procedure

The process of egg donation starts with the selection of a donor. The candidate will be an anonymous donor who has been approved after a series of medical and genetic screenings. The donor’s ovaries are stimulated by a stimulation regimen to produce multiple eggs. The eggs are then retrieved, fertilized, and the embryos cultured. The embryos with the highest quality are transferred into the recipient’s uterus.

Who is it for?

Egg donation is for:

• Older women who have reduced quality and quantity of eggs
• Women with reproductive problems such as ovarian failure
• Poor response to previous IVF treatments
• Women with genetic diseases that they do not want to pass on to the child
