Donor egg, sperm, or embryo treatment is a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) used to help individuals or couples conceive when they are unable to use their own eggs, sperm, or both due to medical, genetic, or age-related reasons.

• Donor Egg Treatment involves using eggs donated by a healthy young woman. The eggs are fertilized with sperm (from the partner or a donor) through in vitro fertilization (IVF), and the resulting embryo is transferred to the recipient’s uterus. This is often used when a woman’s egg quality is poor, she has premature ovarian failure, or is of advanced maternal age.

• Donor Sperm Treatment is used when the male partner has no sperm or a genetic condition he does not wish to pass on. The donor sperm is used to fertilize the partner’s eggs via IUI (intrauterine insemination) or IVF.

• Donor Embryo Treatment involves using embryos that were created by another couple (often through IVF) and donated for use by others. It’s an option for couples where both partners are unable to contribute genetic material.

This treatment allows individuals and couples—including those facing infertility, same-sex couples, and single parents—to experience pregnancy and parenthood with the help of donated reproductive cells. All donors are carefully screened for medical, genetic, and psychological health to ensure safety and success.
