Egg donation is the process by which a fertile woman donates eggs to another woman to help her conceive as part of an assisted reproduction treatment. In this procedure a doctor removes an egg or eggs from the donor, fertilizing them in a laboratory, and then transferring the resulting embryos into the recipient’s uterus. Doctors do this using in vitro fertilization (IVF).

2. What is Oocyte
Donation?
Oocyte donation(egg donation) has proven to
be a successful option for women who cannot
conceive with their own oocytes, due to
advanced age, diminished ovarian reserve, or
genetic disease.
It allows the female partner to carry and
deliver a pregnancy with her husband’s
genetic contribution.

quality or no eggs, but who want a
biological child using the male’s sperm.

4. Oocyte Donor Requirements?
Egg donors undergo psychological and medical screening, which
includes a thorough medical history, physical exam, and ovarian
reserve assessment to determine if she is likely to be a good donor
candidate.
Egg donors are healthy young women, usually between ages 21
and 30.

5. Oocyte Donation Process
The egg donor gets hormone injections to induce
ovulation of multiple eggs.
Once her eggs are mature and ready for retrieval, her
fertility doctor schedules the procedure.
The egg donor is put under sedation and her doctor
uses an ultrasound guided needle inserted into each
mature follicle to retrieve each egg.
These eggs are fertilized in a laboratory using the
recipient’s partner’s sperm or selected donor sperm.
An embryo (fertilized egg) is then transferred into the
recipient’s uterus.

6. Success depends on many
factors including the age of the
egg donor, retrieval process,
quality of sperm, and the
recipient’s overall health.
As with all third-party
reproduction processes,
recipients should seek
counseling to explore emotional
concerns.
