Egg donor IVF is a fertility treatment option
Egg donor IVF is a fertility treatment option for those who can’t use their own eggs, for whatever reason.
The success rates for egg donor IVF are good—higher than the average IVF success rates for couples not using a donor—especially when using a screened egg donor (as opposed to a family member or friend)
Situations in which egg donor IVF may be required or recommended-
- Age related infertility (most often for women age 40 or older)
- Genetic disease risk on female partner’s side
- Low ovarian reserves (indicated by very high FSH levels or a low antral follicle count)
- Primary ovarian insufficiency (also known as premature ovarian failure)
- Post-cancer treatment (if the ovaries or eggs were damaged or removed)
- Repeated canceled IVF treatment due to poor or low ovarian response
- Unexplained repeated IVF failure
- Woman born without her ovaries due to a congenital anomaly
