Donor Eggs
generalDefinition
Eggs provided by a screened egg donor, used when a patient is unable to use their own eggs.
In IVF Treatment
Egg donation is used for POI, severe DOR, genetic conditions, or repeated IVF failures with own eggs. The recipient's uterine lining is prepared to receive fertilized donor eggs. Pregnancy rates are generally high, reflecting younger donor egg quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are donor egg babies genetically related to me?
Not genetically, but if you carry the pregnancy, you provide the gestational environment that influences fetal development. Many parents feel a deep bond regardless of genetic connection.
