What is Egg Donation

What is Egg Donation?

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.

Advantages

The advantages of Egg Donation

Because the eggs come from young, fertile donors, donor-egg treatment offers real, tangible advantages.

Lower miscarriage risk compared with using older eggs.
Reduced risk of age-related genetic problems in the child.
You carry and deliver the pregnancy yourself — full motherhood bonding.
Your partner contributes genetically through his sperm.
The uterine environment you provide still influences your baby's epigenetics — which of the donor's genes are expressed.
Surplus good-quality embryos can be frozen for future attempts.
The entire treatment is kept completely confidential.
Types of Egg Donation

Types of Egg Donation

Egg donation can be arranged in the way that suits you best.

Anonymous Donation

The donor's identity is not disclosed. Matching is done by our team on physical and medical characteristics.

Known Donation

Step by Step

How egg donation works

A clear, supported pathway from first consultation to embryo transfer.

01

Consultation & Planning

Your specialist reviews your history, confirms egg donation is right for you, and explains every step.

02

Donor Matching

A healthy, screened young donor is matched to you on physical and medical characteristics.

03

Cycle Synchronisation

The donor's and your cycles are synchronised with medication while your uterine lining is prepared.

04

Egg Retrieval

The donor's eggs are collected in a short, day-care ovum pick-up procedure.

05

Fertilisation (ICSI)

The eggs are fertilised with your partner's sperm in the laboratory and cultured into embryos.

06

Embryo Transfer

The best embryo is transferred into your uterus; surplus embryos can be frozen for the future.

Most donor-egg cycles span a few weeks from matching to transfer.
Donor Screening

Success & Safety

Real chances, honestly explained

Every fertility journey is unique. Egg Donation success rates depend on several medical and lifestyle factors.

Factors affecting success

  • Recipient's age and overall health
  • Uterine receptivity and lining
  • Partner's sperm quality
  • Embryo quality
  • Number of embryos transferred
  • Lifestyle factors such as smoking and stress
At Bavishi Fertility Institute, we focus on personalised treatment plans rather than one-size-fits-all success claims.

Because donor eggs come from young, screened donors, donor-egg cycles are among the higher-success fertility treatments — but outcomes still depend on the factors above and can never be guaranteed.
