Egg donor IVF is a fertility treatment for those who cannot use their eggs due to any condition. When using an egg donor who is not a family member or friend, achieving pregnancy is high. It is more than the average IVF success rates for couples not using a donor egg.
Even though the intended mother will not be genetically linked to her child in egg donor IVF, the intended father is related. This makes it a more convincing idea than embryo donor IVF. In an embryo donor, IVF none of the intended parents is genetically related to the child.
In a regular IVF treatment, you may intake fertility drugs to promote egg production in your ovaries. After your eggs reach maturity, your IVF specialist retrieves them through a tiny ultra-sound guided needle.
Your doctor keeps the eggs in a petri dish with sperm cells for fertilization. After fertilization, the embryo is transferred into the mother’s uterus. You can decide to freeze the embryos for more IVF cycles.
But what if your ovaries are not creating enough eggs for a regular IVF treatment? Or what if your ovaries are not there? In such cases, your IVF specialist may recommend an egg donor IVF.
Some conditions in which egg donor IVF is beneficial:
Your fertility specialist can talk to you in detail about your options for finding an egg donor. Here are several familiar sources:
Depending on your contract, you might get a chance to meet your egg donor. Or, you may never have any contact with them. Some donors agree on being contacted in the future by the donor’s offspring.
So, before you decide, talk to a lawyer familiar with reproductive law. Also, an infertility psychologist or counselor is helpful as well.
Egg donors suffer from the same risks as women going through regular IVF. The fertility medicines used to stimulate the ovaries have risks and side effects that the donor must be aware of.
The donor is at an increased risk for developing OHSS (Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome). It occurs because donors are young and very fertile. So, their risk of OHSS is more than an infertile woman opting for an IVF treatment.
The donor must know the symptoms and signs of OHSS so she can deal with any problems quickly. An untreated OHSS can risk her fertility and her life, in some cases.
For the intended mother, the most common risk of donor egg IVF is multiple pregnancies. To minimize your risk of multiple pregnancies, transfer as few embryos as possible. Consult your IVF doctor about a single embryo transfer and determine the right option for your situation.
The live birth rate for egg donor IVF is 55.9% for fresh embryo transfer and 40.2% for frozen embryo transfer. However, success rates depend on your IVF clinic, as well.
If you are going for egg sharing with another infertile couple, the success rate might be even lower. The same goes when using a friend or family member as a donor because they may not necessarily be ideal donors.
Consult your IVF specialist about your odds for success. Fortunately, if you are facing infertility, you can achieve pregnancy and childbirth. Using a donated egg fertilized by your partner’s sperm can help you achieve a healthy pregnancy.
FET is one of the most sought-after fertility treatments at our IVF centre in Ahmedabad for its high success rate and low cost. It involves thawing the embryos from the previous IVF cycle and transferring them to the uterus. The women do not have to undergo ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval during this procedure.
ICSI is an advanced version of IVF, wherein the sperm is directly injected into the egg to ensure fertilization. Our fertility specialist recommends it to couples suffering from male infertility or recurrent IVF failure.
IVF is one of our centre’s most popular fertility treatments. It is a boon for people who cannot conceive naturally. In this procedure, the eggs and the sperm are fertilized outside the body in the lab, and the resultant embryo is transferred to the woman’s uterus.
Now it is possible to preserve your sperm and eggs for later use. With the help of cryopreservation, the eggs and sperm are stored at low temperatures to maintain their viability. This advanced technique is a blessing for people who have to delay having children due to medical or other reasons.
