Dr. Manjushri Kothekar is some of the Best Fertility Specialist in Thane West.

Egg donors are young women who are married and have at least one child of their own. Their age is between 23 to 30 years. Donors are recruited through donor agencies. They are scanned to confirm that they have good egg reserve. A thorough background check along with detailed clinical history as well as family history evaluation is done before recruiting any donor. The egg donor then undergoes a battery of investigations(blood tests) to make sure she is fit and healthy. She also undergoes thalassemia screening to rule out thal trait. This ensures she will not pass on thalassemia(a genetic disorder) to the child. She also undergoes tests like karyotype in selected cases.

Once all the reports are normal hormonal injections are given to the egg donor from D2 of her menstrual cycle. Simultaneously endometrial preparation is done for the recipient with the help of estrogen tablets. The egg donor undergoes ovum pick up under anesthesia when her follicles get ready. The eggs retrieved are fused with the sperm of the patient’s husband using the technique of ICSI. The resultant embryos are cultured in the IVF lab. One or two best embryos are selected and transferred inside the womb of the patient. The remaining surplus embryos are frozen for future use.
Beta HCG check after 15 days will tell if the embryos have been implanted. The chances of success in such treatment are fairly well.

Donor egg treatment

Many women who have poor egg quality or poor ovarian reserve have found a way to become mothers by using donor eggs treatment. The uterus may be restored to healthy and childbearing even in menopausal women with hormonal therapy, and donor egg IVF offers a high probability of success to become pregnant.

Sources of Donor Eggs and Their Profiles:

• Quality egg donors are selected or identified from verified agencies.
• All required blood tests, including HIV and Thalassemia profiles, have been completed.
• The egg donors are chosen only after a thorough screening process.

What is the procedure for donor egg treatment?

The eligible egg donor is chosen by matching essential physical features such as height, weight, skin color, eye, and hair color. The goal is to have the kid appear as much like the future parents as possible. However, just as siblings and sisters from the same family might look significantly different even when biologically born to the same set of genetic parents, IVF may not always produce a child that looks like them. Donors come from all across the nation to help us match the physical characteristics of each couple that comes to us.

How to Choose an Egg Donor?

• The procedure starts with a Gonadotropin injection to stimulate the donor for 10-12 days, followed by egg retrieval.
• The procedure is only started if the recipient’s screening tests, including blood tests and ultrasounds, have come back normal.
• To prepare the recipient, Estrogen pills are administered. 
• On the day of the egg retrieval, a sample of the sperm is taken. The embryos are then transplanted to the recipient’s uterus a few days later after the egg and sperm have been fertilized in the lab.

What is the Estimated Time to Complete the donor egg treatment?

The therapy is normally started one month before your expected IVF cycle month and is matched with the donor’s cycle, as well as endometrial preparation. The endometrium might take from 2 to 6 weeks to prepare for the procedure.

What is the number of visits and length of stay in the hospital for donor egg treatment?

Embryo transfer is a day-care procedure and does not require overnight hospitalization, the total number of needed visits ranges from 3 to 6 visits.

What is the Success Rate Of Donor egg treatment?
