Egg donation

For many women the diagnosis of “infertility” has been a terrible sentence for many decades. But now medicine is using innovative reproductive technologies that make it possible give birth to a child. Women who have been diagnosed with infertility can find the happiness of motherhood by taking advantage of services such as egg donation.

When performing an IVF procedure, doctors often face the fact that it is impossible to get an egg from a woman who wants to have a baby. In this case, donor eggs are used to obtain embryos.

After hormone therapy that stimulate hyperovulation, the donor woman will undergo an ovarian puncture procedure - with help of a needle, healthy, ready for fertilization with sperm in a test tube, eggs are selected. Then doctors select a healthy embryo, which is transferred into the uterus of a woman who wants to become a mother.

Quite often situations arise when a woman's body, for some reason, cannot produce healthy eggs. In this case donor eggs are a unique opportunity to carry and give birth to a child on their own. Women who have an early menopause, have been diagnosed with premature ovarian failure or have no ovaries can benefit from egg donation.

Often women have dangerous genetic diseases that can be transmitted to the child, and in such cases it is also reasonable to use donor material for fertilization. Among the dangerous diseases are Duchenne muscular dystrophy, endocrine and oncological diseases, X-linked ichthyosis and much more. A donor egg from a healthy woman allows to give birth to a child without any risks.

In the modern world rhythm, women have to give their young years to building a career, and when the desire to become a mother already arises, it turns out that the reproductive system can no longer produce high-quality healthy eggs.

It used to be normal to give birth to children at a young age - up to 35-40 years old, when the ovaries perfectly perform their reproductive function. But now many women are ready for motherhood at the age of 40. To eliminate the unfair discrepancy, the “Egg Donation” service is used, and now even women over 50 years old can bear and give birth to a long-awaited child.

Modern reproductive technologies make it possible to "program" the health of a child conceived in a test tube in advance. Our patients can order pre-implantation diagnostics, which consists of checking the DNA of the embryo before implantation into the uterus of the future mother. Thus, you can take care of your baby's health in advance!

IVF also allows you to choose the gender of your baby. Have you dreamed of a football boy for a long time? Or would you rather become the parents of a beautiful princess? Fertility specialists can listen to your dreams and select the embryo of the desired sex.

"Egg donation" is available to both married couples and single women who have decided to give birth to a child on their own.

The IVF procedure using donor eggs includes several stages, which we will discuss below.

First, it is necessary to correct the hormonal levels of the donor woman and the future mother. Hormonal cycles must be synchronized, and drug therapy is used for this purpose.

The donor woman must take drugs that cause multiple eggs to appear at a time. After their maturation, ovarian puncture is performed to collect mature oocytes.

Fertilization of eggs is carried out using a special reproductive technology ICSI. This procedure is considered the most effective method, as it allows you to manually insert the sperm into the egg, which significantly increases the chances of a successful embryo formation.

For fertilization, it is possible to use the sperm of the future mother’s partner, or choose a suitable sperm donor.

If fertilization is successful, the embryos are placed into an artificial environment that imitates the space in the woman's uterus.

After 5-6 days of observation, healthy high-quality embryos are selected for transfer to the uterus of the future mother.

For the onset and maintenance of pregnancy, the expectant mother must undergo a course of special hormonal support.

Egg donation is rightfully considered a breakthrough in reproductive technology, because due to this procedure, a great number of women around the world were able to experience the joy of motherhood.

In 1983, the first child was born in Australia, who was conceived using IVF with donor eggs. A little later, in 1984, after the same procedure, an absolutely healthy child was also born in the USA.

This event became sensational, as the new technology gave hope to many families who were unable to give birth to a child due to female infertility or because of the high risk of transmitting a serious genetic disease to the baby. Egg donation gave women the most valuable thing - the opportunity to become mothers!

Together with egg donation, another highly effective reproductive procedure comes to help desperate women - surrogacy. The embryo obtained "in test tube" is placed into the uterus of a woman who has agreed to become a surrogate mother. As soon as the baby is born, it is given to the couple for whom the gestation was intended.

Those women who dared to provide their eggs or agreed to carry and give birth to a child for other couples who dream of becoming parents deserve admiration too.

Unfortunately, the innovative reproductive technologies are not going so smoothly and successfully in all countries. The superstitious attitude towards these methods makes life difficult for couples who dream of having a baby.

Countries where egg donation is prohibited are Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. There are also a number of countries that have many legal nuances of using genetic material for IVF. For example, in Australia and the Netherlands, parents will have to tell their child about the egg donor if he asks about it. In the UK, an egg donor receives a very modest financial reward. This leads to the fact that donor eggs are difficult to obtain, and couples have to stay in wait list for many years. The most favorable place for the use of donor eggs is the USA, where today this reproductive technology has given a chance for 18% of children conceived with IVF to be born.

In Ukraine all conditions have been created for the use of egg donation as an official means for effective treatment of infertility.

Ukrainian legislation has detailed regulations that include legal and medical standards for the use of donor eggs. The main task of the law in matters related to this reproductive service is to guarantee the protection of the interests of both the donor woman and the couple who need eggs.

The peculiarities of using the medical service for egg donation are regulated by Article 48 of the Fundamentals of Ukrainian Legislation on Public Health, as well as Article 123 of the Family Code of Ukraine.

From September 9, 2013, the order of the Ministry of Public Health No. 787 is in force, which considers all the legal subtleties of the use of donor eggs. This document is called the Instruction on the procedure for using assisted reproductive technologies.

A woman who has expressed a wish to provide her egg must sign an official contract with the clinic that provides reproductive services. The document states that the donation of genetic material is completely voluntary.

If the donor woman has a husband, his formal consent will be required.

Egg donors cannot have parental rights, and this clause is detailed in legal documents.

There is an opinion that egg donation damages the health of the donor woman and that negative consequences await her in the form of hormonal imbalance, mucosal damage and even cancer. The most dangerous stage of the egg donation procedure is hormonal stimulation.

Before oocyte collection, the donor actually takes special hormonal therapy for several weeks. Is this hormonal stimulation a risk? In fact, the health status of a donor woman depends directly on the clinic in which the genetic material is collected and on the methods used there.

Egg donation is a service that is quite common today, and it is not easy for desperate couples to choose one of the many reproductive clinics with donor bases. Indeed, how to choose a clinic with the highest quality range of services from the numerous offers? Is it possible to somehow determine where the best donor base is?

The Internet. Explore the history of a reproductive clinic using the internet. Online you can find out how long the clinic has been working and offering egg donation services, as well as what other services can be obtained at the requested medical institution.

Try to find as much information as possible about the clinic's doctors. It is important to find out as much as possible about the work experience of leading specialists, whether they have a scientific degree.

An important point is also the cooperation of the clinic with international medical institutions, the availability of scientific articles from leading doctors, holding and attending conferences.

Find out if this medical clinic has an egg donor database and how big it is.

Study the price list of the clinic, analyze how clearly the stages of the provision of medical services are written out.

Try to find out if the legal issues are well worked out. If the clinic has a license for the services offered.

Analyze and compare the clinic's pricing policy. The prices for reproductive services are quite high, and if you are offered egg donation and the price is much lower than the market price, it is better not to agree. There is a high risk of running into poor quality services, which will damage not only your pocket, but also your health.

The best reproductive centers have a good reputation, and it is necessary to choose from the best.

Pay special attention to reviews, but keep in mind that they are often customized. By turning on the logic, you can easily determine whether a real person wrote a review, or it was the intrigues of competitors.

If possible, talk to people who have previously contacted the clinic where you plan to order medical services.

It is better to give preference to centers that offer warranty packages to patients. Such clinics are distinguished by high success rates, and taking care of the health of IVF program participants will always come first.

Do not be afraid to ask all your questions, because in good clinics, employees are always ready to explain the nuances and details of the upcoming procedures. It is important that there is a relationship of trust between program participants and doctors.

Couples from all over the world are ready to go to Ukraine for donor eggs, and this decision can be easily explained by a number of justified reasons:

• Ukraine is located in the very heart of Europe, where most of the population has a European genotype and appearance, which is why it is not difficult to find a donor of the desired appearance here.
• Ukraine accepts for training a huge number of foreign students from India, China, Arab countries, Latin America. Therefore, the donor base consists not only of individuals of European appearance, but also to every taste and request.
• Ukrainian legislation is very tolerant to the study of embryos. Due to this, our doctors have the opportunity to create and apply in practice innovative reproductive techniques that help against infertility. In Ukrainian clinics, participants of IVF programs not only solve the problems of infertility, but also get a unique opportunity to carry out genetic diagnostics of the embryo before implantation and even choose the sex of the child at will.
• The population of Ukraine has a very high sanitary culture. Besides the fact that most Ukrainians are very clean, they also have good genetics. Due to its large population, Ukraine is not classified as a country with a high rate of closely related marriages.
• In Ukraine, there is tolerant legislation in matters related to egg donation and other reproductive techniques. Participants of IVF programs have the opportunity to choose a donor, and all legal aspects are fixed by the contract.
