Who uses egg donors?
Many couples who want to have children find it difficult or impossible to conceive. Using assisted reproductive technology, some couples can conceive using their own eggs and sperm. Other couples may have to use sperm donated by another man or eggs donated by another woman. Egg donation procedure allows women, whose ovaries do not produce enough healthy eggs, to become pregnant using donated eggs. When donor eggs are used, the recipient is the birth mother, but not the genetic mother, of any resulting children.
