Leczenie niepłodności kobiet i mężczyzn

Women whose diagnostic tests have indicated that their fertility issues stem from the inability to produce viable eggs, still have a chance of getting pregnant thanks to egg donation.

Eggs harvested from a donor are fertilized with the husband’s /partner’s sperm and thus obtained embryos are then transferred to the recipient to achieve the desired pregnancy. This process provides a chance for pregnancy for women who otherwise could not have children by any other means.

Indications for IVF using donor eggs

Egg donation is a highly effective fertility treatment. This option is primarily utilized when the patient has no eggs (gametes) or if the eggs are of poor quality, which makes it impossible for a woman to get pregnant. Egg donation is the only effective and viable treatment for women diagnosed with ovarian insufficiency, also known as premature menopause. However, this is not the only indication for using donor eggs in fertility treatments. This treatment method is also used in cases such as:

  • advanced maternal age of the patient (>40 years), (> 40 lat),
  • diminished ovarian reserve,
  • risk of passing a hereditary familial disease to the child,
  • infertility due to cancer treatment,
  • recurrent miscarriages or unsuccessful prior IVF attempts using the patient’s own eggs.

Selection criteria for egg donors

Poland’s fertility treatment legislation ensures the anonymity of gamete donations, so we never disclose the identities of either donors or recipients. The only accessible data about egg donors include non-identifying medical details, such as blood type, age, and physical descriptions (height, weight, eye colour, hair colour, etc.).

At OVIklinika, we offer the chance to obtain eggs from so-called “fresh cycles.” Eggs are fertilized on the same day they are harvested from the donor. We also maintain a bank of frozen eggs, from which we select donors with physical characteristics most similar to those of the recipient.

Our donor pool is extensive, ensuring a minimal waiting time for eggs. Treatment often begins during the first visit once indications are confirmed.

Choosing the right donor is crucial. We guarantee that we always choose young, healthy women, mostly under 30 and not older than 35, who undergo virology and genetic screening and obtain. Donors do not suffer from common gynaecological diseases leading to infertility, such as endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In some instances, donors have already conceived naturally – without using any fertility treatment. When selecting an anonymous egg donor, the phenotypic characteristics of recipients are also taken into account, including race, body weight, hair and eye colour, body build, blood type, and other details provided in the donor’s profile.

We always strive to understand the needs of every individual patient, who decides to opt for an egg donation program. We do our best to speed up the whole treatment cycle. IVF using donor eggs is similar to the one with the patient’s own eggs.

Interested in the egg donation program?

Couples interested in the egg donation program should schedule an appointment with an OVIklinika specialist to assess medical indications for the procedure with donor eggs and address all your questions.

If a couple qualifies for the program, they must decide whether they want to use fresh or frozen gametes. Your doctor will provide detailed information on the next steps.
