Egg donation is currently one of the most used and effective assisted reproduction treatments, allowing pregnancy in women with compromised ovarian reserve in quality or quantity.
Nido Fertility has an altruistic egg donation program that is very demanding in its selection criteria. The donors are women <30 years old in very good health. In addition to a thorough psychological, medical and gynecological evaluation, genetic tests are performed to detect the main genetic alterations.
At Nido Fertility we treat our donors with the utmost care, respect and extreme confidentiality and we monitor their safety at all times.
When is egg donation treatment recommended?
Egg donation is not usually the first choice treatment when a woman or couple goes to a fertility clinic. However, there are cases in which egg donation is considered the best or only option to achieve a healthy pregnancy.
Indications:
- Women with premature ovarian failure, no ovaries or menopause
- Women with low ovular quality
- Repeated failures in in vitro fertilization
- Patients with a history of chemotherapy
- Patients who have undergone ovarian surgeries
- Patients with ovarian function, but who cannot use their eggs due to transmissible genetic anomalies
Types of egg donation
Depending on the origin of the eggs, there are mainly two types of egg donation:
- Fresh oocyte donation
- Donation with vitrified oocytes
What is the egg donation process like?
In an egg donation treatment, it is the egg donor who undergoes the ovarian stimulation process. Once the eggs are mature, follicular aspiration is scheduled and the mature oocytes are extracted to be fertilized in the IVF laboratory. After fertilization, the embryos are transferred to the recipient’s uterus, previously prepared for implantation.
