Description

Embryo donation is a process utilized when a couple who cannot conceive through IVF technology using their own egg and sperm. This could be because there are problems associated with either the recipient's egg or the recipient's sperm or both. How does donor IVF work ? The egg donor is put under sedation and her doctor uses an ultrasound guided needle inserted into each mature follicle to retrieve each egg. The lab will attempt to fertilize several eggs in a laboratory using the recipient's partner's sperm or selected donor sperm. This process is in vitro fertilization (IVF).
