What is IVF with donor eggs?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) with donor eggs is a fertility treatment option in which a woman's own eggs are not used for the IVF process. Instead, healthy eggs from a donor, typically a younger woman, are retrieved and fertilized with the partner's or donor sperm in a laboratory setting. The resulting embryos are then transferred into the recipient woman's uterus. This approach is commonly chosen when a woman has difficulty conceiving due to poor egg quality, advanced maternal age, genetic disorders, or other medical conditions that affect her egg supply. IVF with donor eggs can offer higher chances of successful pregnancy and childbirth for women facing these fertility challenges. It's a well-established and effective treatment option that allows many couples and individuals to fulfill their dreams of parenthood.
