An act of kindness can change someone’s life.

 Egg donation is a form of fertility treatment used by women who are unable to bear children with their own eggs. In egg donation, we use eggs that have been donated by an egg donor.

Donor egg program includes oocyte retrieval from healthy young donors after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation followed by IVF and embryo transfer in the recipient’s uterus.

 The success rate of donor egg IVF program is much better than self egg. It can be upto 50 -60 %. The clinical pregnancy and live birth rate is also much higher. This is because the donor is a young women with proven fertility. 

 DETAILED CASE HISTORY OF DONOR

• Age/Marital status/Education/Occupation
• Menstrual & Obstetric history (how many pregnancies she has had, when was the last pregnancy, any history of recurrent abortions, etc. to determine fertility potential)
• Family history (history of any genetic/congenital abnormalities in any family member)
• Personal history(habits like using tobacco, smoking, drinking, what is the contraceptive being used)

Preselection Ultrsound Assesment
To look for donor’s ovarian reserve and presumption of ovum retrieval after hormonal ovarian stimulation

At Sprouting Seed Egg Bank Mumbai, once donor’s profile is found to be appropriate after meeting our criteria, blood tests are carried out to screen for any hormonal abnormality in the donor, any major blood disorder and infections that can be transmitted to the baby. We also do blood tests of the donor’s husband to screen for any infectious diseases that may be transmitted to the baby if not screened early. Tests for genetic disorders may be done in certain circumstances on the recipient couple’s request.

Thus, at Ankoor clinic, utmost care is taken in screening the donors, and only health, fertile and disease free donors are chosen. When we have a patient in need of a donor egg/ oocyte, we chose a suitable one from our Donor bank after matching the profile of the lady in need of the donor eggs with the donor.

If there are special requirements of a couple, about the donor, then we try to meet these specific requirements also.

1. Matching with donor.
2. Synchronization of menses of donor and recipient.
3. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation of donor.
4. Recipient’s treatment to prepare the endometrium for implantation Oocyte retrieval from the donor.
5. In vitro Fertilization of retrieved oocytes with the recipient’s husband’s sperm /Donor sperm obtained from Sperm bank.
6. Culture of embryos.
7. Embryo transfer in recipient’s uterus and luteal phase support.
8. Serum beta HCG level on day 14.
