In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with donor eggs is the assisted reproduction technique indicated in the following situations:
Thanks to this option, it is possible to achieve a pregnancy with high success rates, using eggs from an anonymous donor carefully selected for you.
IVF with donor eggs is one of the treatments with the best results, since the eggs come from young women with high reproductive capacity. In addition, good quality embryos that are not transferred can be vitrified for future attempts.
Age is a determining factor that directly influences the results of the treatment. These high percentages are due to the fact that we design personalized hormonal stimulation protocols, adapted to the characteristics of each patient, and that we have in vitro fertilization laboratories equipped with advanced technology, where embryos are developed and selected under optimal conditions.
The IVF process with ovodonation follows a similar scheme to conventional IVF, with the difference that the eggs used come from a young (always less than 35 years old) and healthy donor, whose fertility has been previously evaluated through medical and genetic tests.
Donors are anonymous women who go through a rigorous selection process, which includes genetic, hormonal and psychological studies. Compatibility is sought with the mother in physical traits and genetic compatibility with the father to avoid the risk of recessive genetic diseases as much as possible.
All donors perform genetic studies for the detection of recessive mutations. Being a healthy carrier of a recessive mutation is completely normal and has no repercussions for the health of the person. The problem arises when the donor and the father of the future baby are carriers of the same mutation. In this situation, the newborn may be born with a disease that could have been avoided if the correct donor had been selected for that couple. This is what we call genetic matching and it is a highly recommended test when a couple undergoes an oocyte donation treatment.
Donated eggs are fertilized in the laboratory with the partner’s or a donor’s sperm. After fertilization, the embryos are cultured under the best conditions until they reach the blastocyst stage. This is the time of optimal development. At this stage of development and depending on each case, the embryos will be biopsied if PGD is to be performed, or vitrified if they are transferred in a later cycle.
When the embryo has reached optimal development (blastocyst stage), it is deposited in the recipient’s uterus by means of a painless and simple procedure, without the need for anesthesia.
After the transfer, a quiet life without much effort is recommended. Approximately 10-12 days later, a blood pregnancy test is performed to confirm implantation.
