What is the program about?
Egg donation offers hope to many women who dream of becoming mothers. This program is designed for patients who are unable to use their own eggs due to age, diminished ovarian reserve, or other medical reasons. It provides:
- Exceptionally high success rates, thanks to the use of eggs from young, healthy donors under the age of 35, all of whom are required to have at least one child.
- Complete donor anonymity, protected by law. Disclosure of a donor’s identity is strictly prohibited.
- Personalized donor matching, based on your individual preferences.
Wide variety of egg donors
- Detailed donor profiles, including personal background information to help future parents make an informed choice
- Medical screening in compliance with the regulations of the Executive Agency for Medical Supervision (EAMS)
- High-sensitivity genetic testing using Bioarray Advance (High Frequency) technology, providing in-depth genetic analysis
- Guaranteed quality – 90% egg survival rate and at least 2 embryos from a set of 8 eggs
When is egg donation recommended?
Egg donation is typically considered in the following situations:
Women with diminished ovarian reserve or over the age of 40 who do not respond to hormonal stimulation (low responders)
Patients who do not produce their own eggs or whose available eggs are abnormal
Women who have not preserved eggs at an earlier stage in life
The program is initiated only after all necessary tests have been completed and based on the recommendation of your OB-GYN or reproductive medicine specialist.
