Egg (oocyte) donation IVF is the treatment option for
couples with female infertility factor. In many instances, the female’s egg
production could be insufficient, egg quality maybe poor or the age of the
patient does not allow her to conceive with her own eggs. This option is also
explored when the female is already in menopause and unable to produce eggs. In
this case, a healthy egg donor is chosen and her eggs are used to fertilize
with the husband’s sperm. The formed zygote is then transferred into the wife’s
uterus. An egg donor is the person who donates her eggs to be received by
another woman who is not able to become pregnant with her own eggs. An egg
donor needs to meet certain criteria. Her body mass index must be within
healthy standards and the acceptable age range for a donor is between 21 and
29. In order to ensure that a donor is physically, genetically and
psychologically healthy for the donation, she has to undergo a number of tests.
As North Cyprus IVF, we make sure egg donors comply with all the health
standards prior to making a donation.
Practically, egg donation IVF infertility
treatment (egg donor IVF) works very much like conventional IVF with the
five step program, but only in this case, a young donor is selected to undergo
the medication treatment. Once the donor's eggs are fully grown, they are
retrieved to fertilize with the sperm. The rest of the steps are identical to
those of IVF.
The female patient, who is undergoing egg
donation IVF treatment, however, also needs to take certain medication prior to
the embryo transfer stage to make sure that the uterus is fully prepared for
pregnancy.
In egg donation IVF programs, we make sure
that the donor's blood group is compatible with the couple who is undergoing
this treatment. The female can also choose the donor based on certain physical
characteristics such as hair, eye and skin color, education and work status and
ethnicity. However, due to legal restrictions of Northern Cyprus, we cannot
arrange for the patients to come in contact with their egg donor. Neither we
are allowed to show pictures. The egg donor remains anonymous for the entire
procedure.
As North Cyprus IVF, we have recently been quoted by the fertility road
magazine as "the leading IVF clinic in Europe" in our egg donor IVF
programs due to our well above-average success rates in egg donor IVF treatment
programs. Combining our high success rates in treatment with the short waiting
lists for donor matching, North Cyrus IVF has been an in-demand IVF clinic by
many overseas patients.
The cost of egg donation IVF is slightly
higher than conventional IVF since it requires the use of an egg donor.
However, we are able to offer this treatment program at competitively low and
affordable cost levels. For more information regarding the costs, please use the
