What is egg donation?
Women with no or not properly working ovaries can, in some cases, get pregnant through egg donation. In this procedure another woman will be the egg donor. This woman will have an IVF stimulation and ovum pick-up. After the ovum pick-up the collected eggs will be fertilized with sperm of the partner of the recipient woman ie donor acceptor. The embryos are then transferred into the uterus of the recipient. If a pregnancy occurs the recipient and her partner will have a child which is biologically only half their own.
Egg donation is the process by which one woman (an egg donor) donates her extra ova, or eggs, so that an infertile couple may have a child. This does not involve the actual removal or donation of the ovaries; it simply means that doctors will extract extra egg cells from the woman’s ovaries. She will have more than plenty of eggs left over for the rest of her life to create her own family.
Women with no, or not properly working ovaries can, in some cases, get pregnant through egg donation. In this procedure another woman, mostly a relative or good friend, will be the egg donor. This woman will have an IVF stimulation and ovum pick up. After the ovum pick up the collected eggs will be fertilized with sperm of the partner of the recipient woman i.e. donor acceptor. The embryos are then transferred in uterus of the donor acceptor. If a pregnancy occurs, the donor acceptor and her partner will have a child which is only biologically, half their own.In recent times, another concept called egg sharing , has also become very popular.
