Who are Egg Donors?

Selection of Egg Donor

Oocyte, Semen & Embryo Freezing

About

9

An embryo is formed with fertilization of an egg and a sperm.

9

This treatment is needed in many conditions like :

Advanced age
Premature Ovarian failure or reproductive ageing
Decreasing ovarian reserve
Recurrent IVF failures due to poor oocyte quality
Risk of genetic disease transmission in offspring

9

Even with ART treatment, women’s eggs are not capable of forming a healthy embryo which can give rise to pregnancy. In such conditions, donor egg is one of the treatment options offered.

9

If above condition is associated with Azoospermia (sperms not retrieved surgically) or genetic abnormality in male partner, along with donor egg, donor sperm may also be used.

If above condition is associated with Azoospermia (sperms not retrieved surgically) or genetic abnormality in male partner, along with donor egg, donor sperm may also be used.

9

Assessment of her Ovarian Reserve :

Donor’s ovarian reserve is assessed with her blood AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone level) and her AFC count (Antral follicle count) seen on Ultrasonography.

9

Blood investigations to be done :

Routine tests- Hemogram and blood grouping
Infection screening- HIV, HBsAg, VDRL, HCV
Hormone profile- S.TSH
Hb Electrophoresis
Liver function test
Renal function test
Optional- Karyotyping

9

After matching the requirements, the donor is recruited.

Procedure

9

Matching with donor.

9

Synchronization of menses of donor and recipient.

9

Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation of donor.

9

Recipient’s treatment to prepare the endometrium for implantation.

9

Oocyte retrieval from the donor.

9

In vitro Fertilization of retrieved oocytes with the recipient’s husband’s sperm /Donor sperm obtained from Sperm bank.

9

Culture of embryos.

9

Embryo transfer in recipient’s uterus and luteal phase support.

9

Serum beta HCG level on day 14.

Success Rate

9

As compared to the success rate of IVF with your own eggs, success rates with donor eggs and embryos are considerably high to the tune of 50-60%.

9

There are no problems associated with pregnancy after oocyte or embryo donation.

Oocyte, Semen and Embryo freezing

9

There are many couples or single individuals, who would wish to preserve their fertility potential (which decreases with age) and plan for family at a later stage.

9

This could be people with professional or personal reasons. This could also be people unfortunately affected by cancer before finishing their reproductive life.

9

These individuals could opt for semen or egg freezing or the couple could opt for embryo freezing (embryo is formed using wife’s egg and husband’s sperm).

9

These freezing techniques provide time to the couples for accomplishing their desires and at the same time keeps the window of possibility open for them to become parents at a bit delayed stage of their life.
