IVF with donor eggs

Every woman is born with a certain number of eggs which “get used up” over her lifetime. Some women have more eggs at the beginning of their lives, others less, but there are also women who have no eggs in their ovaries. The exhaustion or lack of your own ovarian reserve is one of the most common reasons for using IVF with donor eggs.

Loss of eggs may result from oncological treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgical removal of the ovaries). After recovery, you can freely plan your pregnancy using the donated eggs.

Another reason for the lack of eggs is menopause. It is a natural and physiological stage in the life of a woman in her 50s. However, there are times when this process occurs earlier, known as premature menopause. Premature menopause affects one in a hundred women under the age of 40 years and one in a thousand women under the age of 30 years.

Have you already tried IVF procedure with your own eggs in another clinic and the treatment has brought a negative pregnancy outcome? You may be interested in new options. At INVICTA, we always analyze the documentation of previous treatments and draw conclusions to increase your chances at the next try. If the failure was related to low egg quality or it was not possible to obtain eggs, you may consider IVF with donor eggs.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) enables detection of the most common chromosomal aberrations (e.g. Down syndrome) and single gene disorders (e.g. cystic fibrosis).

However, if you are a carrier of a disease resulting from the interaction of many genes and environmental factors (e.g. schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease), you can use donated reproductive eggs to prevent passing the disease to your child.

In a situation where you both have low gamete quality or none, you can use both donor eggs and donor sperm. This is an alternative to embryo donation from patients who have already completed IVF treatment.

You choose both donors separately according to your phenotype. Then our embryologist performs IVF to obtain embryos for you.

Our team of embryologists has developed precise quality guidelines for the partner’s sperm to guarantee a healthy embryo in the IVF process. In order for the treatment to have the best chance of success the sperm should come from the ejaculate. The minimum number of sperm in 1 ml is 10 million, and the total number of moving sperm should be 25%. The vast knowledge and many years of practice of our embryologists in IVF processes allow us to obtain an embryo even with the use of sperm with parameters lower than the standards specified by WHO.

If your partner has no sperm or the quality of the sperm does not allow to obtain a healthy embryo, you can use sperm from an anonymous donor from the INVICTA Sperm Bank.

In a situation where no blastocyst is formed, you will receive another packet of eggs for free. We repeat fertilization until a blastocyst is obtained – we are fighting for your success.
