The journey to parenthood can sometimes be more challenging than expected. When a woman’s own eggs are not viable or are unavailable, using donor eggs can be a life-changing solution. This option brings hope to many couples dreaming of becoming parents. Let’s explore how the process works and what you can expect.

The IVF Process with Donor Eggs

Consultation and Treatment Planning

The first step is an initial consultation with our fertility experts. During this session, we assess your medical history, infertility background, and determine whether donor egg IVF is the right option for you. Our specialists will also explain every detail of the treatment process and answer all your questions.

Selecting the Right Egg Donor

At Unica, we take great care to match you with the most suitable egg donor. All donors undergo a rigorous selection process, including detailed medical screening, genetic testing, and psychological evaluation. Donors are chosen based on physical and other relevant characteristics to ensure the best possible match with the recipient.

Cycle Synchronization

To maximize the chances of success, the menstrual cycles of both the donor and recipient are synchronized using hormonal treatment. This ensures that the recipient’s body is prepared to receive the fertilized embryo at the optimal time.

Egg Retrieval and Fertilization

Once the donor’s eggs are ready, they are retrieved and fertilized in our laboratory using either the recipient’s partner’s sperm or donor sperm. This process is overseen by highly experienced embryologists to ensure the best possible outcome.

Embryo Transfer

The fertilized eggs develop in the lab for several days, after which the highest-quality embryo is selected and transferred into the recipient’s uterus. This is a painless, outpatient procedure that takes only a few minutes.

The Waiting Period

Following the embryo transfer, there is a waiting period before taking a pregnancy test. This time can be emotionally challenging, but at Unica, we offer holistic support services, including psychological counselling and relaxation techniques, to help you through it.

What to Expect?

Undergoing IVF with donor eggs is one of the most effective assisted reproduction treatments available. Thanks to the selection of high-quality donor eggs and Unica’s state-of-the-art medical care, our clinic has a high success rate in this treatment. We also prioritize discretion, a personalized approach, and emotional support at every stage of the journey. However, it’s important to remember that every journey is unique and requires patience.
