Egg donation

What is egg donation

An Egg donation IVF treatment is an In Vitro Fertilization technique requiring the use of oocytes from a donor. These eggcells will then be inseminated with either the sperm of your partner, or that of a donor.

At Dexeus Mujer, we work so that those women who cannot conceive and require donor eggs can fulfill their desire to become mothers.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) with donor eggs is an assisted reproduction technique that allows us to inseminate eggs from a donor with sperm from the recipient couple or from a donor and obtain embryos to transfer to the future mother’s uterus. Thus, thanks to our egg donation program, we offer many women the opportunity to achieve pregnancy.

Egg donation is in vitro fertilization with eggs from a donor and sperm from either the recipient couple or a donor. This treatment is an opportunity for all those women who cannot conceive naturally, as it allows them to gestate the embryo themselves.

A fertility study beforehand, will help us decide whether an IVF with donated eggs is the most appropriate treatment for you.

What are the phases of the treatment

The process from the beginning of the treatment until the embryo is transferred lasts about one month and consists of the following stages:

Gynaecology visit

Our team will review your medical history and tell you what steps to take.
1

Egg donor recruitment and screening

Our egg donation program guarantees a rigorous screening of all our donors.
2

Selection of the perfect egg donor for you

With the guarantee that it will have physical characteristics similar to yours.
3

Treatment and medication

Hormone treatment aimed at obtaining the optimum number of oocytes. Alternatively, we may use vitrified oocytes from an adequate donor. The recipient will start the preparation of her endometrium.
4

Donor ovarian stimulation treatment

The eggs are harvested by follicular puncture, performed transvaginally.
5

Semen sample processing

Our team of biologists will select the best sperm cells.
6

Egg fertilisation and embryo culture

The oocytes will be inseminated in our state-of-the-art lab, and the evolution of the embryos will be permanently monitored until their 5th or 6th day.
7

Blastocyst transfer

The blastocyst is deposited in the uterus in a very simple procedure that does not require anaesthesia. The blastocyst is a high quality embryo, at a stage of development 5-6 days after fertilisation of the egg, which favours its transfer into the uterus.
7

Who it is for

Egg donation treatment is recommended in case of:

  • Ovaries removal.
  • Early menopause, genetic, or fertility problems after chemotherapy treatment.
  • Hereditary genetic disease whose transmission cannot be avoided by any other technique.
  • No pregnancy after several IVF attempts with your own eggs.
