Egg Donation Process

The process of egg donation consists of 5 steps:

Step 1. Matching

You can book the oocytes at Ovoria egg bank by filling in the registration form on our website. By creating an account on our website, you will access the egg donor profiles. After choosing an egg donor, our specialist will confirm 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. Screening and monitoring for the donor and recipients

During this step, the 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

During this stage, the egg will be retrieved and 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. Embryp transfer

At this stage, the doctor will retrieve the egg and fertilize it with the partner's sperm. This stage 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 until your ultrasound scan for the next two weeks.

All our egg donors have been selected and screened by Ovoria quality requirements and operational procedures. According to the international ART associations guidelines, we examine donors: EU-Tissue Directive 2004/23/CE, 2006/17/EC.

Egg Donor Genetic Testing

Ovarian egg donor bank offers the possibility of Extended egg donor testing, which is an extensive analysis with a 400+ panel carrier screen identifying specific autosomal recessive and X-linked diseases. This information can help patients learn about their risk of having a child with specific genetic conditions.

NGS sequencing of 418 genes (not hos-spon mutations) of most common recessive genetic disorders, including CNV for 33 genes:

• Cx26
• CFTR
• PAH
• SMN1
• DMD
• CYP21A2
• FANCA
• FANCY
• GBA
• HBA1,2
• HEXA
• 
  

Covid-19 Testing

Covid-19 testing is mandatory for all egg donors listed in our database. The test is carried out twice during a stimulation cycle – within 30 days before oocytes retrieval and on the day of oocytes retrieval.

Covid-19 testing is performed with a rapid Antigen Test for SARS-CoV-2. We also can perform PCR testing upon request.

In Ovoria Egg Donor Bank, you can select between anonymous and non-anonymous egg donors. Also, all our egg donors have been selected and screened following Ovoria quality requirements and operational procedures. According to the international ART associations guidelines, we examine donors: EU-Tissue Directive 2004/23/CE, 2006/17/EC.
