Donor Egg/Oocyte IVF

In the case of IVF with “Donor Egg” (or Oocyte), medications will be used to coordinate the recipient patient’s cycle with the cycle of the egg donor. If pregnancy occurs, the recipient patient will need to continue taking these medications through the first trimester of pregnancy.

Following retrieval, the donor eggs and recipient partner’s sperm (or donor sperm) will be processed in the laboratory to accomplish fertilization. Several days later, the fertilized eggs, will be transferred to the uterus of the recipient.
