Donor Eggs

For a number of infertile women, disease and the onset of ovarian failure precludes producing fertilizable eggs. This prevents them from achieving a pregnancy with their own eggs. Since the vast majority of such women are otherwise quite healthy and physically capable of bearing a child, egg donation provides them with a realistic opportunity to go from infertility to parenthood.

Egg donation is associated with its share of benefits. In many instances, more eggs are retrieved from a young donor than would ordinarily be needed to complete a single attempt at achieving an IVF pregnancy. As a result, there are often supernumerary or left over embryos for freezing and storage. Also, since eggs derived from a young woman are less likely to produce aneuploidic (chromosomally abnormal) embryos, the risk of miscarriage and birth defects such as Down’s syndrome are reduced considerably. 

Indications for Egg Donation:

  • Advanced reproductive age
  • Decreased ovarian/egg
  • Premature ovarian failure
  • Surgical removal of the ovaries or exposure to chemotherapy or radiation
  • Recurrent IVF failure due to poor quality eggs / embryos
