Oocyte Donation

Oocyte Donation Process, Success rate & Pricing

During pregnancy, embryo formation involves the fertilization of a healthy oocyte by a healthy sperm. If either the egg or the sperm has an anomaly, successful fertilization does not occur. However, using a donor egg or sperm can help couples achieve pregnancy.

A woman unable to get pregnant with her oocytes can use an egg that is donated by another woman to achieve pregnancy. The ideal candidate for the egg donation process should be between 23 and 33 years of age. The donor should be able to understand the procedure and knowingly give consent. Additionally, the donor should be free from medical or genetic illnesses.
