Donor Egg IVF

Comparing Self Eggs vs Donor Eggs IVF

when you cannot use self eggs, the best ivf treament option

Usually, in a routine IVF, the woman takes stimulation medications to produce eggs in her ovaries. She undergoes an egg retrieval procedure and the eggs retrieved are fertilized by our embryologist & IVF surgeon with the husband’s sperm of the couples in the MedAccess IVF-Lab. These embryos are finally transferred into the uterus again, hoping for a conception. This is called routine or conventional IVF.

The process of Egg Donation typically involves extracting eggs from a woman who has willingly come forward to donate her eggs. These oocytes retrieved from the donor, are fertilized with own Husband sperms in a laboratory and the resultant embryos are then transferred into the recipient’s (intending mother) uterus.

Why Donor IVF?

As one of our patients probably put it in the right context for all of us. He said to his wife, “Do you want your own genetic child or do you want to complete our family?”. And that is a decision for only her to make.

Few common conditions where Donor Egg IVF / ICSI cycles are recommended.

    • High Age (usually above 40)
    • A single male wanting to become a Father
    • Genetic carrier of some disease which may get passed on female’s side
    • Low AMH or low ovarian reserve
    • Post Cancer therapy
    • Unexplained or multiple failed IVF cycles
    • Multiple miscarriages

Finding an Egg Donor

As per laws, Egg Donors can donate eggs for other couples. The Egg Donor option is usually given by the doctor under whom you are taking treatment. Importantly, with new ART Act, you can avail a donor option only from an ART Bank. 

Success rates for IVF / ICSI with Donor Eggs

Donor Egg IVF has one of the highest success rates and best treatment options available in difficult cases and IVF / ICSI cycles. The success rate though depends on multiple factors, following are age-wise success rates

  • Women under 35 have a 65-75%
  • Women over 35 have a 50-55% chance

IVF/ ICSI with Donor Eggs is usually from healthy young girls in their twenties which do indeed increase the quality and success of the cycle. It’s like saying, a 40-year-old is actually trying at 20-years of age.

Oocyte Donors Options

There are two options for egg donors in our program

* Routine Donors: These Routine Donors are usually not educated or minimally educated and they do not have the expertise in any particular field and are either housewives or unskilled workers. These donors do not have much knowledge about their own or parents’ medical health concerns. These donors do have children. An important point to note is that they are not “not intelligent” as they never got an opportunity to be educated, also we are only checking their educational levels.

* Diva (Premium) Donors: These Diva Donors are educated and are the least graduates. They are able to fill the egg donor application form themselves and give details about their likings, hobbies, special skills, talents, medical health, background information, parental health status, etc. Their education, skillsets define their personality and usually are able to match with the parent’s high IQ.

Types of Donor Eggs

There are two options for using the eggs from the donors.

* Frozen Oocytes: With the new ART laws Frozen Oocytes are not allowed.

* Fresh Eggs: The donor undergoes fresh egg pick up and those fresh eggs are used for fertilization with the husband sperms, on the same day of the egg retrieval. Once the embryos are created, they are transferred back to the mother.

Our one of the prime centers in India, which started a frozen egg bank in 2015. We always have donors in our database of Routine and Diva donors.
