Donor IVF is another fertility treatment procedure. It is for them, who cannot use their own ovum. Screened egg donors have a higher chance of success than family donors. However, availing of this option would mean that the mother would not be genetically linked with the baby. However, the father will be, if he does not fail to produce good quality sperm. If you go for an embryo donor IVF, neither parent will be linked genetically to the child.

Semen donor
A man who donates semen, which contains sperm to the couple who is trying to get pregnant is known as a sperm donor. The man who is a sperm donor can be anonymous or a known person to the recipient. The donated sperm is used for fertilization with the mature eggs in the laboratory called Invitro fertilization(IVF). The man who donates sperm has undergone a full medical checkup to avoid risks and he should also know about the legal formalities behind it.
Egg donor
Healthy women donate eggs to another woman to get pregnant and the woman who donates eggs is called an egg donor. Egg donation benefits women who cannot use their eggs for various reasons including ovarian failure. Doctors use the In Vitro fertilization method to fertilize the extracted eggs in the laboratory and transfer the resulting embryo into the recipient's uterus.
When Is the Egg Donor IVF Required?
If the mother’s ovaries are not producing enough eggs, this is the procedure that you have to follow. Sometimes, the quality of the eggs is also not good. Sometimes the mother does not have ovaries. Moreover, gay male couples may also want to have a child, genetically linked to either of them. You need an Egg donor in such cases. Most women aged 40 and above have fertility-related issues that require medical intervention. If the mother has any genetic disease, there are high chances that she would pass it on to the child. In such circumstances, Egg Donor IVF is extremely necessary.
The Process
The process starts with both the donor and mother getting their periods. The donor is given fertility drugs to enhance the production cycles. It will be similar to the IVF cycle, but embryo transfer does not happen. When the donor’s eggs are ready, the donor gets a hCG. The late stage of egg development starts. At that time, the mother gets progesterone shots. This helps the uterus prepare for embryos. The donor is guided through the process of egg retrieval at the clinic.
On the very same day, the father donates some semen, with sperms. The egg and the semen sample are put together in a petri dish, under laboratory conditions. Some of the eggs get fertilized after 3-5 days. The intended mother visits our clinic for the transplant of the embryo.
