Oocyte Donation

Helping Women Achieve Motherhood Through Oocyte Donation

Oocyte Donation or Egg Donation is a fertility treatment that enables women with diminished ovarian reserve or genetic disorders to conceive using donated eggs. This procedure offers hope to those who cannot produce viable eggs but still wish to experience pregnancy and childbirth.

Who Needs Oocyte Donation?

Oocyte Donation is an effective option for women who:

• Have Poor or Diminished Ovarian Reserve – Due to age, premature ovarian failure, or menopause.
• Suffer from Genetic Disorders – To prevent hereditary conditions from passing to the child.
• Have Experienced Repeated IVF Failures – Due to poor egg quality or low ovarian response.
• Have Undergone Ovarian Removal or Chemotherapy – That affects egg production.
• Same-Sex Male Couples & Single Fathers – Using a gestational surrogate with donor eggs.

The Oocyte Donation Process: Step-by-Step

1. Recipient Screening & Preparation
   • Medical evaluation, hormonal assessment, and uterine health check.
   • Synchronization of the recipient’s menstrual cycle with the donor’s cycle.
2. Selection of a Suitable Egg Donor
   • Donors are thoroughly screened for genetic, medical, and psychological health.
   • Options include anonymous or known donors, depending on patient preference.
3. Ovarian Stimulation & Egg Retrieval from Donor
   • The donor undergoes controlled ovarian stimulation with fertility medications.
   • Mature eggs are retrieved through a minimally invasive procedure.
4. Fertilization with Partner’s Sperm
   • Eggs are fertilized using IVF or ICSI in the lab.
   • High-quality embryos are cultured and monitored for development.
5. Embryo Transfer to the Recipient’s Uterus
   • The best-quality embryo is transferred into the recipient’s uterus.
   • A simple, painless procedure requiring no anesthesia.
6. Luteal Support & Pregnancy Checkup
   • Hormonal medications support implantation and pregnancy.
   • A pregnancy check is conducted 10-14 days after embryo transfer.

Success Rates of Egg Donation

• 50-70% per cycle – Higher success rates than standard IVF in women.
• Increased Chances with PGT – Genetic screening ensures the healthiest embryo selection.
• Multiple Cycles May Be Needed – For optimal pregnancy outcomes.

Benefits of Oocyte Donation

• Higher Pregnancy Rates – Especially for women over 40.
• Eliminates Genetic Risks – Avoids passing hereditary diseases.
• Allows Motherhood Despite Age or Health Conditions – Enables pregnancy when natural conception isn’t possible.
• Provides the Full Pregnancy Experience – Unlike surrogacy, the recipient carries the baby herself.

Risks & Considerations

• Emotional & Psychological Aspects – Counselling is recommended to prepare for treatment.
• Ethical & Legal Considerations – Vary depending on donor anonymity and local regulations.
