What is the Egg Donor IVF Treatment?
Donor Egg DIVF (DIVF) constitutes a large part of the practice at North Hudson IVF. Many of our patients have created and expanded their families through this process. To ready the mother-to-be (or recipient’s) uterus for the process she is put on a controlled cycle of estrogen and progesterone. During this time the egg donor is “cycled” with fertility hormones to allow the development of multiple eggs. The egg donor is “retrieved” and the eggs are fertilized using the sperm of the recipient’s husband. The fertilized eggs or embryos are cultured for 5 days and then selectively transferred to the recipient’s uterus. A test for pregnancy is obtained 2 weeks following the embryo transfer.
