When will a donor egg help?

The doctor gives a recommendation for using a donor egg. It is the doctor who studies the test results, establishes the reason why the pregnancy does not occur or ends and decides whether the situation will be corrected donor egg.

You need to start your journey by choosing an agency, clinic and doctor who will be with you at all stages of the journey. For those who have to choose an egg donor and undergo the IVF procedure, it is important to study the statistics of the clinic and agency: how many babies have been born recently in situations similar to yours. Often agencies have their own donor databases and donor oocytes are available at the clinic where the IVF will take place. Then you won’t have to worry about additional logistics.

In what cases is it recommended to use a donor egg:

- surgical interventions, removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes

- early menopause

- taking cytostatics and radiation therapy

- the woman is a carrier of the gene for hereditary diseases

- the doctor has doubts that IVF with your own egg will be effective.

Sometimes the thought that the child will be half a stranger becomes a serious psychological barrier. If the egg of a donor, ideally selected for your family, is fertilized with the sperm of your spouse, then the future baby is the joy of your family. You carry it and give birth - it will be your child, in which you will see the reflection of your loved one.

Health check donor

Future parents are also worried about how carefully the agency checks egg donors. In addition to the agency’s great interest in ensuring that you have a healthy baby, the requirements for a donor are regulated by law. It states that oocyte donors can be women 18-30 years old, without bad habits, without mental disorders and somatic diseases. Agencies give preference to those donors who have their own healthy children.

Doctors carefully examine future donors, including for the presence of infections, chronic pathologies and psychological disorders. Out of 100 applicants, only a third are included in the agency’s database.

The use of a donor egg is your family's medical information and is confidential. Registration of a baby for whose conception a donor egg was used does not require additional legal support. Children born in donation programs usually look like their parents. Half of the genetic material belongs to the spouse, and the donor may have some traits in common with the mother.
