What is Egg Donation?

Egg donation is a procedure in which a fertile woman donates her egg (oocyte) to another infertile woman to help her conceive through assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures like IVF.

Egg donation is beneficial for women who are unable to conceive using their own eggs due to different reasons, such as increased age, ovarian failure, or genetic defects that may be passed on to the child. These women can use donor eggs to conceive through ART.

Am I the Right Candidate for Egg Donation?

An ideal candidate for egg donation should be a healthy female, preferably between 21 to 35 years of age. She should have regular menstrual periods, and not have any hereditary or infectious conditions that she can pass on to the child.

Additionally, the right candidate should have a healthy BMI, be a non-smoker, not have a history of genetic disorders, or any history of substance abuse.

Egg Donation Procedure at a Glance

The potential egg donor will first undergo a thorough medical evaluation and genetic screening. She will then take hormonal injections to stimulate egg production. The egg development will be monitored through ultrasounds and blood tests.

When the eggs are ready, they will be retrieved through a minor surgical procedure under sedation. Recovery following egg retrieval takes one or two days.

These eggs can be used for fertilization in a laboratory and the resultant embryos (fertilized eggs) are transferred into the recipient woman’s uterus (womb) or frozen for later use.

When is an Egg Donor Needed?

An egg donor may be needed if a woman has any of the following conditions:

  • Premature menopause
  • Premature ovarian failure
  • Repeated failed IVF cycles
  • Low ovarian reserve
  • History of medical conditions and treatments like cancer and chemotherapy
  • Hereditary conditions
  • Advanced age

  • Homosexual men wanting a child
  • Single men wanting biological children through a surrogate mother

How to Prepare for Egg Donation?

An egg donor needs to undergo a thorough screening method to ensure minimal risk of birth defects in the fetus and also ensure healthy genetics in the child born using donor eggs.

The following are the preparatory steps an egg donor needs to undergo at Aksigen IVF before undergoing egg donation:

  • The potential egg donor will be examined physically by our specialists. The woman will be asked about her medical history and about her menstrual periods.
  • The mental health of the woman is also assessed.
  • The woman is asked about her smoking and alcohol consumption habits. She will also be asked about the use of any illicit drugs and necessary tests may be done to ensure that only a woman leading a healthy lifestyle is chosen for egg donation.
  • Some diagnostic tests may be recommended, including blood tests, ultrasounds, and other tests to assess the health of the woman’s reproductive organs.
  • Screening tests for infectious diseases like HIV and hepatitis to prevent the transmission of infection are recommended.
  • Screening for genetic conditions or common hereditary diseases can help prevent genetic disorders from being passed on to the child.
  • The woman needs to lead a healthy lifestyle, which includes eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking, alcohol consumption, and drugs leading up to the process of undergoing egg donation.

At Aksigen IVF, we ensure that we select egg donors only after a thorough screening and offer the best egg donation treatment in Mumbai.

What is the Procedure for Egg Donation?

The following steps are involved in the process of egg donation:

  • Matching with the recipient: If the donor’s eggs are going to be used immediately, her menstrual cycle will be synchronized with the menstrual cycle of the recipient through hormonal treatments. If the donated eggs are going to be frozen, this step will not be required.
  • Ovarian stimulation: The egg donor will be given hormonal injections to stimulate her ovaries to produce multiple female eggs in a single cycle. This phase will last for approximately 10 to 14 days and will involve regular monitoring for egg development through blood tests and ultrasounds.
  • Egg retrieval: When the female eggs are mature, the donor will undergo a minor surgical procedure for egg retrieval. This procedure is generally done under sedation and involves the insertion of a needle by the doctor through the vaginal wall of the woman to retrieve the eggs from her ovaries. The procedure usually takes 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
  • Egg evaluation: The retrieved eggs are evaluated in the laboratory and can be either used for fertilization with the male sperm during the process of IVF (in which the female egg and male sperm are mixed in a petri dish in a laboratory) and then transferred to the recipient woman’s uterus (womb) or frozen for future use.

Aksigen IVF provides egg donation in Mumbai in a painless and comfortable environment and ensures the proper use of the donated eggs to offer a successful pregnancy to a couple who wishes to conceive.

We also ensure that we match the ethnicity, physical features, cultural factors, and needs of the recipient couple with the egg donor before using the donor eggs.

What is the Success Rate of IVF Using Egg Donors in Mumbai?

The success rate of IVF using donor eggs is comparatively higher when compared to using a woman’s own eggs, especially in cases of advanced maternal age.

On average, the IVF success rate in Mumbai using egg donors is around 55% to 65%. The success rate of egg donation in Mumbai will, however, vary depending on the following factors:

  • Age and general health of the recipient woman
  • Quality of the donor egg
  • Quality of the male sperm
  • Health of the recipient’s uterus
  • Quality and number of embryos (fertilized eggs) transferred
  • Expertise of the fertility specialist

The fertilization success rate of thawed eggs is between 70% to 90% and live birth rates are between 30% to 50% in reputed fertility clinics like Aksigen IVF.

What Are the Risks of Egg Donation?

  • Infection
  • Weight gain due to hormonal medications
  • Headache
  • Mood changes
  • Tiredness
  • Bloating
  • Bleeding or infection during egg retrieval
  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (pain and swelling of the ovaries)

What is the Cost of Egg Donation in Mumbai?

If a couple is planning to undergo IVF treatment in Mumbai using an egg donor, it is important to consider the female egg donation price in Mumbai before undergoing the procedure as this cost will add to the total cost of their treatment expenses.

The approximate egg donation cost in Mumbai varies from INR 65,000 to INR 1,25,000 per cycle. This cost will, however, vary depending on the following factors:

  • Treatment center’s location and reputation
  • Compensation to the egg donor

  • Experience of the fertility specialists

FAQ

No, donating eggs usually does not impact the future fertility of a woman. Women are generally born with several eggs, and the egg donation process only removes those eggs that would anyway be naturally lost during a woman’s natural menstrual cycle.

Yes, many egg donors can donate eggs multiple times. However, fertility clinics usually limit the number of donations to ensure the health and well-being of the donor.

From initial screening to egg retrieval, the whole egg donation process usually takes approximately 6 to 8 weeks to complete, depending on the response of the donor to the medications.

Most egg donors experience mild discomfort during hormonal injections and some bloating or cramping during ovarian stimulation. The egg retrieval procedure is normally done under sedation, so the pain is minimal during the procedure.

No, a woman who conceived through IVF using an egg donor will not be genetically linked to the child as the egg used is that of the donor. However, you will be the legal parent of the child unless you have agreed otherwise or you are a surrogate mother.
