EGG-Donation Egg donation is the process by which a woman provides one or several (usually 10-15) eggs (ova, oocytes) for purposes of assisted reproduction or biomedical research. For assisted reproduction purposes, egg donation involves the process of in vitro fertilization as the eggs are fertilized in the laboratory. After the eggs have been obtained, the role of the egg donor is complete.
In Vitro Fertilization IVF is inseminating retrieved eggs from the female with the sperm from the male which is collected and processed in the laboratory. The fertilized eggs are kept for 2-3 days in incubators and those that develop to good quality embryos are transferred into the womb.
Who uses egg donors? Who uses egg donors? Many couples who want to have children find it difficult or impossible to conceive. Using assisted reproductive technology, some couples can conceive using their own eggs and sperm. Other couples may have to use sperm donated by another man or eggs donated by another woman. Egg donation procedure allows women, whose ovaries do not produce enough healthy eggs, to become pregnant using donated eggs. When donor eggs are used, the recipient is the birth mother, but not the genetic mother, of any resulting children.
Risk and success Risk and success Once you have decided to use donor eggs, the first step involves consultation with a physician or an organisation providing the donors. This helps in identifying your needs better and also answers any queries you might have regarding the procedure. The consultant also tries to find out your physical characteristics, likes, and dislikes to best match you with a donor.
Embryo Donation Embryo Donation Many couples choose to pursue embryo donation in order to increase their chances of having a child. Embryos are often donated by anonymous couples who have extra embryos remaining from previous IVF treatment cycles. Donated embryos can also be created by using donated eggs and sperm. Most donated embryos are used in a process called frozen embryo transfer.
Sperm Donation Sperm donation is also becoming increasingly popular, especially with recent increases in male infertility rates. Donated sperm can be collected from known or unknown donors for use in IVF and IUI treatments.
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an in vitro fertilization procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg. This procedure is most commonly used to overcome male infertility problems, although it may also be used where eggs cannot easily be penetrated by sperm, and occasionally as a method of in vitro fertilization, especially that associated with sperm donation. The technique was developed by Gianpiero Palermo around 1991 at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, in the Center for Reproductive Medicine headed by Paul Devroey and Andre Van Steirteghem.
