Why consider egg donation?
Women with diminished ovarian reserve, at older age groups, will have poorer outcomes if they can’t get pregnant naturally and have to do any fertility treatment. In this case, egg donation can provide access to high-quality donor eggs, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy substantially.
Premature ovarian failure
In cases of premature ovarian failure, where a woman’s ovaries run out of eggs before the age of 40, egg donation would be a very viable option to achieve pregnancy.
Genetic conditions
Couples with a history of inheritable genetic conditions may choose egg donation to reduce the risk of passing on these conditions to their child.
Age-related infertility
As female fertility declines with age, women over 40 may opt for egg donation to improve their chances of having a healthy pregnancy and baby.
Recurrent IVF failures
If traditional IVF has repeatedly failed due to poor egg quality or fertilisation issues, egg donation can offer a much higher probability of success.
Eligibility criteria for egg donation
Eligibility for egg donation varies but it typically includes:
- Women with diminished ovarian reserve
- Women with premature ovarian failure
- Women over a certain age (often 38 or older)
- Couples with a history of genetic conditions
- Couples with recurrent IVF failures
