Egg Donation
For many of our patients, successful treatment may require consideration of non-genetic alternatives. At Kentucky Fertility Institute, we offer full spectrum of third-party reproductive solutions, including the use of egg donation for women who cannot use their own eggs to achieve pregnancy.
What is Egg Donation?
Egg donation is when a woman volunteers to give her eggs to another woman to help her become pregnant through the in vitro fertilization process. In other words, egg donation is an infertility therapy that allows women who cannot use their own oocytes (eggs) to become pregnant and deliver a child of her own. There are many reasons why some women may not have viable oocytes. The most common reason to use donor oocytes is due to advanced female age, and this will be a common treatment option for women in their early 40s and beyond. Younger women with premature ovarian insufficiency, diminished ovarian reserve, or certain genetic risk factors may also choose to use oocyte donation for their care.
How Successful is Egg Donation?
Egg donation is one of the most successful types of fertility treatment. The national average live birth rate for egg donation typically exceeds 50%, accordingly to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART).
"Dr. Hunter and the entire KFI staff were fantastic to work with. Infertility can be a very sensitive matter, but I never felt uncomfortable throughout the process."
— KFI Patient
How Do You Choose an Egg Donor?
At KFI, patients have the option to either use a known or anonymous egg donor. Known egg donation is when patients select a family member or close contact to serve as her egg donor. Anonymous egg donation is when the donor is unknown to the patient, and is typically recruited through an agency or commercial egg bank. KFI works with a number of reputable egg banks to ensure a safe and diverse selection of egg donors for our recipient patients.
