Egg Donor

Understanding Egg Donation

What is Egg Donation?

Egg donation is a process where a woman, known as the egg donor, provides her eggs to another individual or couple who are unable to conceive using their own eggs. This selfless act can help individuals or couples achieve their dream of becoming parents, and it plays a crucial role in assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Why Choose Egg Donation?

Egg donation can be a viable option for those experiencing infertility due to a variety of factors, including:

• Advanced Maternal Age: As women age, the quality and quantity of their eggs naturally decline, which can impact fertility.
• Genetic Conditions: Women with genetic disorders may choose egg donation to avoid passing these conditions to their children.
• Ovarian Insufficiency: Conditions like premature ovarian failure or diminished ovarian reserve can make egg donation a necessary alternative.
• Medical Treatments: Treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation may affect ovarian function and egg production.

How Does the Egg Donation Process Work?

• Initial Consultation: The process begins with a consultation where our fertility specialists discuss your specific needs, answer your questions, and outline the steps involved in egg donation.
• Egg Donor Selection: Our clinic works with a network of thoroughly screened and qualified egg donors. Donors undergo extensive medical and psychological evaluations to ensure they are healthy and suitable for the donation process.
• Matching: We aim to match recipients with donors based on various factors, including genetic background, physical characteristics, and personal preferences.
• Ovarian Stimulation: The chosen donor undergoes ovarian stimulation, where she takes hormonal medications to encourage her ovaries to produce multiple eggs.
• Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs are ready, a minor surgical procedure is performed under sedation to retrieve the eggs from the donor's ovaries.
• Fertilization and Embryo Transfer: The retrieved eggs are then fertilized with the recipient’s partner’s sperm or donor sperm in the lab. The resulting embryos are monitored and one or more are transferred into the recipient’s uterus.
• Follow-Up Care: Our team provides comprehensive follow-up care throughout the process to ensure the health and well-being of both the donor and the recipient.
