When traditional IVF treatments are unsuccessful, embryo donation can provide a solution. This option is ideal for couples facing challenges with sperm and egg quality.
Types of Embryo Donation
Fresh Egg Donation
Donor Selection: A suitable donor is selected based on physical and genetic criteria.
Ovarian Stimulation: The donor undergoes medication to stimulate the production of high-quality eggs.
Egg Collection: Eggs are collected approximately 12 days after medication begins.
Fertilization: The collected eggs are fertilized with donor sperm using ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection).
Embryo Culturing: Embryos are cultured in the lab for about 5 days.
Embryo Transfer: The resulting embryos are then transferred to the recipient’s uterus.
Frozen Embryo Donation
Quick Procedure: This method is faster as embryos are ready for transfer after a 15-minute thawing process.
Storage Duration: Embryos can be frozen and stored for up to 2 years without compromising quality.
Embryo donation offers a promising path for couples to achieve their dream of parenthood, providing hope even when previous IVF attempts have not succeeded.
