Egg Donation Procedure

Nowadays, about 18% of couples cannot conceive, which works out to 1 in every six people having problems with childlessness. Fifty per cent of the cases are due to male infertility, and 50% are female infertility. For such cases, if the couple were trying to conceive for months without results, this can be a good idea to consider Assisted Reproductive Technology.

ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) can be defined as the set of medical treatments that allow couples to start a family when it cannot be achieved naturally due to infertility problems. There are few types of assisted reproductive techniques:

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF);
Artificial Insemination (AI);
Surrogacy;
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD).

What is Egg Donation?

Egg donation is the process of assisted reproductive treatment where a woman donates eggs to enable another woman to conceive. Usually, this type of treatment involves In Vitro Fertilization technology with fresh or frozen eggs.

When Woman Need Donor Eggs?

In case of premature menopause (defined as premature ovarian failure);
If a woman was diagnosed with reduced ovarian reserve;
In situations when ovaries were removed or damaged;
If a woman has a genetic or chromosomal abnormality;
When there is an inadequate response or no response at all to previous stimulations.

The Process of Egg Donation

Step 1. Egg donor matching

Contact us to access the catalogue of egg donors or create a new account on our website to get access to the egg donors profiles. After choosing an egg donor, our specialist confirms that the donor is available, and the process starts. Then the woman will get a list of all the examinations she needs to have.

Step 2. Ovorian stimulation for the donor and preparation for the reciepents

During this doctor will begin ovarian stimulation with the donor, but meanwhile, it's time to prepare uterine lining with a hormone called Estradiol Valerate. Our doctors will control this process remotely, and at the end of this, women have to do ultrasound scans.

Step 3. Egg retrieval for egg donor

During this stage, the egg will be retrieved and then be fertilized by the partner’s sperm. After fertilization, embryos are cultivated for up to 5 days and then ready for transfer to the recipient uterus.

Step 4. Embryotransfer

At this stage, the doctor will retrieve the egg and fertilize it with the partner’s sperm. This can be done in two ways: visiting our clinic to get fresh sperm or sending the frozen sample. It will take five days to cultivate fertilized embryos.

Step 5. Pregnancy test

In two weeks after the previous stage, a woman will have to do a blood test for HCG. If it’s positive – a woman is pregnant. The doctor will prescribe her medicines for the next two weeks until your ultrasound scan.
