Clinica Fertia, Costa Del Sol Spain, Explains The Process Of Egg Donation

MALAGA, SPAIN, June 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) Clinica Fertia, a fertility clinic where patients can avail of egg donation in the Costa del Sol, Spain, explains the process of egg donation.

Egg donation has higher success rates than some other fertility treatments and it is a good option for women who cannot become pregnant with their own eggs. In Spain egg donation is considered to be altruistic and anonymous, with a very strict range of tests carried out on potential egg donors.

So what is egg donation and how does it work?

Egg Donation - An Overview

When a donor gives eggs for the purpose of reproductive assistance, it is called egg donation. In order to donate eggs, the donor must be screened very carefully by doctors. Egg donors and their receivers undergo extensive hormone treatment to insure a good embryo implantation.

After the eggs have been taken, they are fertilised by the sperm of the receiver's choice, in most cases, the receiver's spouse. The eggs are then placed in the uterine cavity of the receiver.

Egg donation is more successful than in-vitro fertilisation, as the egg donors are young, fertile women, who have their own children.

Egg Donations are performed for women only under certain conditions:

- Ovaries cannot produce eggs at all on their own

- Eggs produced are not able to fertilize or develop correctly

Some women may experience these issues because of chromosome issues. These issues can also be created as a woman ages, or if a women is undergoing chemotherapy or early menopause.

Egg Donation - How It Works

Blood hormone levels and ultrasound are both used to monitor the cycle, in order to select the best time for egg collection. It is best practice to perform several ultrasounds, not just one.

While the donor undergoes hormonal treatment in order to develop the eggs, the receiver follows hormonal treatment to make her uterus ready to receive embryos.

Both processes are performed in a synchronised way, to make sure that the uterus will be ready at the right time when the eggs are mature.

One or two embryos are transferred into the recipient and other good quality embryos are frozen.
