The egg donor undergoes several fertility procedures to produce eggs. These eggs are then harvested and&nbsp;fertilised in&nbsp;the laboratory by the semen of the egg recipient&rsquo;s husband or&nbsp;partner (or a sperm donor). The fertilised eggs become embryos, and&nbsp;one or&nbsp;two of these embryos are replaced back into the uterus (womb) of the egg recipient to create pregnancy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" align=\"right\" alt=\"egg harvesting donor egg cell\" border=\"0\" class=\"ui\" height=\"136\" src=\"\/t\/i\/egg_cell01.jpg\" width=\"191\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>At&nbsp;O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic, any extra embryos of excellent quality can be frozen to be used for&nbsp;another attempt. They now&nbsp;become the property of the recipient and\/or her partner. After&nbsp;successful pregnancy development, the egg recipient gives birth to the child and&nbsp;becomes the child&rsquo;s mother. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Differences between IVF and&nbsp;IVF with egg donation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The main difference between &lsquo;normal IVF&rsquo; and&nbsp;&lsquo;egg donation IVF&rsquo; is that&nbsp;one more person is needed to help in&nbsp;creating pregnancy. This is the egg donor, whose eggs are harvested and&nbsp;used if&nbsp;the would-be mother (the egg recipient), for&nbsp;some reason, cannot use her own eggs to get pregnant. The egg donor takes the usual drugs commonly used in&nbsp;IVF treatment to make her ovaries produce eggs. She then has the eggs harvested under anaesthetic, just like in&nbsp;usual IVF treatment. After&nbsp;this, the egg donor has no further role in&nbsp;the procedure.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" alt=\"egg donor childs lower limbs\" border=\"0\" class=\"ui\" height=\"136\" src=\"\/t\/i\/baby_feet03.jpg\" width=\"191\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The eggs are put in&nbsp;a dish in&nbsp;the fertility laboratory, where&nbsp;they are inseminated using the sperm of the egg recipient&rsquo;s husband, or&nbsp;partner or&nbsp;a sperm donor. Once&nbsp;fertilised, they become embryos. At&nbsp;O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic, the embryos are kept in&nbsp;the laboratory for&nbsp;several days in&nbsp;order to choose the embryos of the highest quality. The embryologist determines their quality each day during the cultivation period to see which&nbsp;ones will have the highest chances of implanting and&nbsp;resulting in&nbsp;a pregnancy. When&nbsp;the desition on&nbsp;which embryos are best is made, one or&nbsp;two of the embryos are replaced into the womb (uterus) of the egg recipient. Any remaining embryos may be frozen, and&nbsp;become your property if&nbsp;you wish. (You can choose who&nbsp;will be the owner: the recipient, the recipient and&nbsp;her partner, or&nbsp;only her partner.) In&nbsp;order to provide the embryos with a good environment for&nbsp;development, the egg recipient takes hormones which&nbsp;make her body fit for&nbsp;the pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>If&nbsp;all goes well, one (or both) of the embryos will implant in&nbsp;the egg recipient&rsquo;s womb and&nbsp;the pregnancy then develops further. The egg recipient continues to take hormones until&nbsp;the placenta produces enough of them itself to keep the pregnancy going. Just&nbsp;as&nbsp;with any other pregnancy, her body nurtures the growing child, thereby creating a strong mother-child connection. After&nbsp;giving birth, breastfeeding can further make her closer with her child.<\/p>\n<p>At&nbsp;O.L.G.A. Fertility Clinic, we had a 60% success rate in&nbsp;2008. This was the confirmed clinical pregnancy rate after&nbsp;replacing two fresh embryos at&nbsp;the 5-day-old blastocyst stage. The number of children born through egg donation is increasing each year as&nbsp;more women become informed of this form of treatment.
