When your own eggs can no longer help you conceive, eggs from a healthy, screened young donor can. At Bavishi Fertility Institute, one of India's trusted fertility clinics since 1998 — rigorously screened donors, and compassionate, fully confidential care help you every step of the way.

Egg donation — also called oocyte donation — is an assisted-reproduction technique in which the eggs come from a healthy, screened young donor instead of the patient's. The donor's eggs are fertilised in the laboratory with the partner's sperm, and the resulting embryo is transferred to the Recipient’s(patient’s) uterus. The recipient carries and delivers the pregnancy herself.
It is recommended when a woman cannot conceive with her own eggs — for example after menopause, with very low ovarian reserve or poor egg quality, after repeated IVF failure, or when there is a risk of passing on a genetic condition. Because the eggs come from young donors, donor-egg treatment offers some of the highest success rates in fertility care.
