Why do recipient couples decide to use an egg donor?
Couples choose egg donation for reasons based on their individual circumstances. Some women’s ovaries are incapable of producing a fertile egg. Using an egg donor and adoption are options for these couples. The benefits to choosing an egg donor would include control over the prenatal care of the developing fetus, the woman would be able to experience the joys of pregnancy, childbirth and nursing a baby and the couple would be able to use the sperm of the husband. This can be especially important when the woman has had children but the man has not.
