Donor Egg Program and Egg Bank
Understanding Donor Egg or Egg Donation
Donor egg, or egg donation, provides an excellent opportunity for individuals and couples struggling with poor egg quality or low egg counts to achieve pregnancy. This process involves collecting mature eggs from a donor, fertilizing them with sperm (from either the male intended parent or an anonymous donor), and then implanting the resulting embryos into the intended mother's uterus. Alternatively, a gestational carrier may be used to carry the pregnancy to term.
Benefits of Using Donor Eggs
For many, donor eggs present a viable solution to infertility issues related to egg quality or quantity. This option is especially beneficial for older patients, same-sex couples, single parents, and those with specific infertility challenges such as diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian failure. Additionally, LGBTQ+ couples often use donor eggs along with gestational surrogacy to start their families.
If you are considering using donor eggs and plan to carry the pregnancy yourself, it is important that you are in good health and have a normal uterus. The treatment cycle and embryo transfer must also be completed before you turn 55.
