IVF With Egg Donors
Reproductive medicine has made considerable leaps in the past three to four decades. IVF may have had a sensational introduction way back in the late 70s, but today it is commonplace for doctors to suggest assisted reproductive technology (ART) to childless couples so that they do not despair anymore over their failed dreams of raising a beautiful family together.
The idea of IVF does not shock couples anymore as it does not come with an attached stigma as it did in the past. People have adapted well to ART given its high success rate of pregnancy. However, the concept is still catching up, and even when the percentage of couples hesitating today is very small – it still exists.
If you have been struggling to become a parent, you may consider IVF as a boon to help you realise your dream. IVF with egg donation is something that doctors ask their female patients to consider when physiological and/or genetic factors prevent them from conceiving naturally.
In this blog, we talk about this miracle pregnancy option that is open to women with fertility issues, and we also detail egg donation in Bangalore.
What Is IVF With Egg Donation?
IVF with egg donation is a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART). This is a method in which a third party (usually an anonymous woman unknown to the family that wishes for pregnancy) donates her oocytes or eggs to another woman to help her have a baby. There could be numerous reasons for the latter to be unable to bear a healthy pregnancy, the most important of which have been outlined in the following section for your understanding.
The woman who donates her eggs is the donor, and the woman who receives the fertilised egg in her womb is the recipient. Donor eggs are combined with the male partner’s (your husband’s) sperm, or with another donor sperm. The fertilised egg/s is then transplanted into your uterus for normal pregnancy to take place. Even when you are not the baby’s genetic mother, you provide the epigenetic environment for the baby to grow healthily inside you.
The pregnancy rate through egg donation is quite high, especially where the eggs are retrieved from young married females, less than 28 years of age, and with a history of healthy pregnancies.
When Is The Donor Egg IVF Recommended?
The best sources of finding egg donors are egg banks and egg donor agencies. The following are the common reasons why a couple would opt for IVF with egg donors -
When the woman is aged over 40 years and has poor quality eggs in her ovarian reserve. Medically speaking, a woman’s quantity and quality of eggs reduce with the advance in age which reduces the chances of her pregnancy.
In cases where couples have experienced recurrent pregnancy losses through miscarriages and unwanted abortions.
- Unexplained infertility in the woman
- Diminished ovarian reserve with a low quantity of eggs with low AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone). This will correspond to less success rate at pregnancy.
- Where there are genetic diseases in the family from the woman’s side and she would not want to take a chance with her own eggs.
- 1. Damaged or absent ovaries in the woman.
- 2. Female candidates with autoimmune disorders
- 3. Female patients of chemotherapy or surgical menopause.
- 4. Gay couples looking for surrogacy through IVF with egg donors.
