Who can benefit from Donor IVF?
- Low egg reserve: If your ovaries don't produce many eggs, donor IVF offers a chance to use healthy donor eggs.
- Poor egg quality: Even if you have eggs, their quality might be low, hindering fertilization. Donor IVF provides a solution.
- No ovulation: If you don't ovulate (release eggs), donor IVF bypasses this hurdle altogether.
- Advanced maternal age: After the age of 35 years and further after 40 years of age, egg number and quality goes down, then donor eggs increases the success rate.
- Menopause: After menopause, natural pregnancy isn't possible. Donor IVF offers a path to motherhood.
- History of failed IVF cycles: If past IVF attempts using your own eggs haven't worked due to egg quality, donor IVF increases success rates.
