Egg Donation

In some instances, at the request of the recipient, the egg donor may be a relative. This is commonly a younger sister, cousin or friend. Apart from this, Dogus IVF Centre has an excellent selection of eggs, with a wide base including Europe, Asia, Africa, India, and Pakistani.

Egg donation treatment has a duration that lasts approximately 5 days. During this time, the recipient may stay at one of the hotels that are located in the beautiful seaside town of Kerynia and after embryo transfer, the patient may return home the next day.

Paying attention to a few simple precautions, the recipient can then return to their normal life and daily activities. This will include emphasis in eating healthy, reducing caffeine intake, staying away from drinking and smoking, and not doing too many strenuous tasks. After 12 days from the day of the embryo transfer, the patient can do a blood test to know for sure if they are pregnant.

Egg donation is a technique that is adopted in assisted reproduction where eggs are donated from a healthy and young woman to any other woman with ovulation or gynecological problems. Egg donation is done for women who unable to produce their own eggs or produce them in small quantities or with poor quality. This then enables the recipient a chance at being able to conceive a child, carry a pregnancy to term and give birth to a healthy baby.

Moreover, the quality of their ovules assures us for many years to come that there is a high chance of success that lies between 70% and 80%.

The Egg Donation Process

Once a donor has been chosen, the treatment schedule is then commenced. The menstrual cycle of the donor is studied, documented and then charted, and then synchronized with that of the recipient. A hormone therapy treatment with injections begins that brings to fruition many ovocytes from the donor.

Concurrently, the receiving woman makes her endometrium receptive to implantation by taking estrogen pills prescribed by the doctor. These assist to welcome the embryo into the uterine cavity after fertilization of the ovocytes from the donor.

Using ICSI, the fertilized ovocytes are retrieved from the donor. These are usually between 10 and 20 eggs exclusively for each recipient. After fertilization, the embryos are cultured in the lab. Once they have reached the blastocyst stage and are ready for implantation, one to three embryos are transferred to the recipient.

Egg donation is applicable to the following cases :

Women who have reached the menopause
Women who cannot produce eggs or produce eggs of poor quality
Women who have already made attempts at assisted reproduction and have failed
Women who may have transmitted diseases and do not want to hereditary pass them on to their children.
