What are the main indications for receiving donated oocytes?
Most women receive donated eggs because their ovaries do not produce good quality and/or quantity of oocytes. The main reasons are advanced female age, diminished ovarian reserve, women who are known to be affected by or known to be the carrier of a significant genetic defect or who have a family history of a condition for which carrier status cannot be determined, and women with poor oocyte and/or embryo quality or multiple failures during prior attempts to conceive via assisted reproductive technologies.
