The egg donation process is an important part of infertility treatments and most IVF cycles (30% to 40%) use egg donor-assisted ART treatments.
Currently, approximately 1.7% of all babies born in the USA each year are conceived using Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART). Of these nearly 25% of IVF cycles are done with an egg donor. Egg donor requirements are increasing every year as infertility is on the rise and more and more people are opting for infertility treatment. In this article, we will have an infographic representation of how the egg donation process works.
Who needs an egg donor?
A childless couple needs an egg donor or egg donor IVF in the following conditions:
- Premature ovarian failureis a condition in which a woman has menopause earlier than usual.
- The reduced ovarian reserve. That means the eggs are of low quality and fewer in number.
- Because of genetically transmitted disease. No parent wants to pass on a genetic abnormality to a child. So, using an egg donor is the obvious choice.
- A couple of failed IVF cyclesespecially when your doctor thinks the quality of your eggs may be the problem
How does the egg donation process work?
Egg donation refers to the process by which a female egg donor readily agrees to donate her unfertilized eggs to a clinic or recipient (in this case the intended parent). The eggs received from the donor are clinically fertilized and the resulting embryos are transferred through IVF to a carrier who can be a mother or a surrogate as arranged by the clinic.
How much does egg donation cost?
It really depends on the type of egg donor you use. Also, the country where you can find an egg donor. In the USA, the average cost of egg donation is in the range of $15,000 to $25,000. This is due to the high egg donor compensation.
On the other hand, the cost of egg donation in European countries is around $80,000 to $12,000. The low cost is associated with low compensation of egg donors, fewer legal fees, and coordination fees or egg donor agency fees.
