Similar to in vitro fertilization (IVF), the egg (oocyte) donation process is a method of assisted reproduction that allows a woman with healthy, fertile eggs to donate her eggs to other aspiring parents.
Egg donation involves harvesting eggs from the ovary of a donor, fertilizing them with the sperm of a patient, a patient’s partner or sperm donor, and subsequently, transferring the developing embryo(s) into the recipient’s uterus. A resulting pregnancy will be genetically related to the intended father or sperm donor, and carried by the intended mother or gestational carrier.
Having a child with the help of an egg donor offers the possibility of parenthood to men and women who cannot conceive on their own.
Donor eggs may be suitable for women who have a uterus but have poor quality or a low quantity of eggs (diminished ovarian reserve)
Male/male couples may use an egg donor along with a gestational carrier
In addition to our local donor database, we’ve partnered with MyEggBank®, giving you access to one of the nation’s most extensive donor egg databases. This partnership allows you to explore a wide range of donor profiles, ensuring that you can find the ideal match that aligns with your family’s needs – all within one seamless platform.
As a woman ages and the amount of potential problems with eggs increases, diagnostic tests can be used to help estimate “ovarian aging” by measuring two blood hormones: Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). An older woman or one exhibiting premature ovarian aging may consider the use of donor eggs.
Both you and your partner (if applicable) need to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, the female needs a full evaluation of her uterine lining, while the male will require a semen analysis. Finally, any female or male patient utilizing an egg donor will be required to meet with our psychologist.
IVFMD requires extensive testing and evaluations for any woman interested in donating her eggs. You can learn more about IVFMD’s egg donation program and criteria here.
