Donor egg IVF is a fertility treatment where eggs from a donor are combined with sperm to create embryos, which are then transferred to the intended mother’s uterus or a gestational carrier. This process offers hope to those who cannot use their own eggs due to various factors such as advanced maternal age, diminished ovarian reserve, or genetic concerns. It’s also a vital option for same-sex male couples and single men who wish to become parents, as well as for women who are unable to produce their own eggs for medical reasons.

Who might consider donor egg IVF?

Donor egg IVF can be an option for:

• Women over 40 with reduced egg quality or quantity
• Women with premature ovarian failure or early menopause
• Individuals with a history of unsuccessful IVF cycles using their own eggs
• Those with certain genetic conditions they wish to avoid passing on
• Single men
