Egg donation

Egg donation may be used successfully in treatment of multiple causes of infertility, as well as some genetic diseases. Our egg donation team has been experienced in finding and matching egg donors with potential parents successfully for many years. Egg donation is usually used in the following clinical situations:

• Patient is either in menopause or early menopause and is unable to produce her own eggs.
• Patient with absent ovaries.
• Patient at risk of passing on a genetic disease which may not be prevented through preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
• Patient who has had multiple prior in vitro fertilization failures.
• Same gender couples who wish to become parents

An egg donor may be anonymous or known to the patient requiring this procedure. Anonymous egg donors are typically women younger than age 30, whose identity will remain undisclosed to the prospective parents. They would agree to undergo a cycle of hormonal ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval for the purpose of helping infertile couples become pregnant. Known donors are either a family members or friends of the prospective parents, or simply recruited donors that will be introduced to the prospective parents. Reproductive Fertility Center currently uses both anonymous and known egg donors.

Egg donation is a delicate process which requires matching donors with patients. All our donors are required to pass a rigorous screening process, in compliance with the FDA guidelines. Reproductive Fertility Center uses an electronic gated donor eligibility system, to insure FDA compliance, thereby keeping the patients safe at all times in the process.

Our expert team at Reproductive Fertility Center is dedicated to help patients find and match an egg donor. The team will help the prospective family in every aspect of the process, providing medical advice, emotional support, legal guidance and financial assistance.
