Donor Egg/Sperm

What is Donor Egg/Sperm?

Donor Egg/Sperm refers to the use of reproductive cells (eggs or sperm) from a person other than the intended parents in the process of assisted reproduction, such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

Donor Egg:

Eggs are retrieved from a healthy female donor, fertilized with the intended father’s sperm, and then transferred into the intended mother’s uterus.
Reasons for using donor eggs:
- Age-related decline in egg quality or quantity
- Premature ovarian failure
- Genetic conditions that the mother may pass on
- Previous failed IVF attempts due to poor egg quality

Sperm is collected from a healthy male donor and used to fertilize the intended mother’s eggs through IVF or other methods like Intrauterine Insemination (IUI).
Reasons for using donor sperm:
- Male infertility (low sperm count, poor sperm motility, etc.)
- Single women or lesbian couples desiring to have a child
- Genetic conditions that the father may pass on
