What is Egg Donation?

Egg donation is a medical procedure where a woman donates her eggs to help another woman conceive, typically used when the recipient faces fertility challenges.

When can a doctor suggest to go for Donor EGGS ?

Infertility diagnosis is a multi-step process that assesses both partners' reproductive health to determine the cause of infertility. For those considering egg donation, the diagnosis helps determine if donor eggs are the most suitable solution.

You should consult a doctor if:

  • Prolonged Inability to Conceive: If you’ve been trying to conceive for more than a year (or six months if over 35) without success, it’s time to seek help.
  • Known Health Conditions Affecting Fertility: Conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, or premature ovarian failure can impact egg quality and may require donor eggs.
  • Repeated Pregnancy Loss: Recurrent miscarriages might indicate issues with egg quality or genetic abnormalities, suggesting egg donation may be an option.
  • Age-Related Infertility: If you are 40 or older and experiencing difficulty conceiving, egg quality may be declining, and donor eggs might be recommended.
