Medical Center "Reproductive Health"

Recipient cancellation conditions:

·        anatomic problem with the uterus, such as severe intrauterine adhesions

Indications for OEP:

·        recipient could be married or single women

·        malfunction of the reproductive organs,

·        chromosomal abnormalities, genetic disorders

·        removal of the ovaries or radiation to the ovaries.

·        premature ovarian failure (menopause)

·        Very poor egg quality

·        Poor response to ovarian stimulation

·        Significantly elevated day 3 follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level

·        Donor ovum IVF is generally used only in women with significantly diminished egg quality (poor ovarian reserve)

·        Pregnancy rates with egg donation are high, particularly as compared to pregnancy rates in women with poor egg quality and quantity

·        Advanced female age, such as over about 39-40

How is egg donation performed?

1. An appropriate egg donor is chosen by our Medical Center and thoroughly screened for infectious diseases and genetically transmissible conditions.
2. Consents are signed by all parties.

3. The donor is stimulated with injected medications to develop multiple egg development. This allows us to perform in vitro fertilization with her eggs and the sperm of the infertile woman's male partner.

4. The infertile woman (recipient) is placed on medications that suppress her own menstrual cycle and stimulate development of a receptive uterine lining.

5. All procedures are totally confidential and no photographs or meeting are acceptable between egg donor and egg recipient.

 Who may donate?

·        Prospective Egg Donors should between 20 and 32 years old, educated and healthy.

·         Women who have had a tubal sterilization operation are also eligible, as are those who have an IUCD (Intrauterine contraceptive device) in place.

·        Donors must be negative for infection diseases: HIV, HbsAg, VDRL, Hepatitis A,B,C, Chlamidia IgG, IgM. Genetic screening for chromozomal abnormalities, medical history, social history, family history, psychological evaluation, intelligence test results (IQ), hormonal evaluation etc. are also required.

Who will know?

·        Anonymous Donors (from white caucasian bulgarian origine)
Many women opt to undergo the egg donation process as anonymous donors. They donate eggs to an infertile woman or couple whose identity also remains anonymous. Anonymous donors are matched as closely as possible to the criteria specified by the prospective parent.

How does it work?

Donor Application & Screening

·        To start the process, the potential egg donor completes a medical history form and genetic questionnaire. The donor must have psychological screening and blood tests for sexually transmitted and genetic diseases.

·        Treatment Cycle
As in In Vitro Fertilization, the physician prescribes hormonal therapy to stimulate the donor's ovaries to produce multiple eggs. The physician monitors progress through blood tests and vaginal ultrasounds. The entire cycle is less than 14-15 days.

·        Retrieval Process
This non-surgical procedure is performed using general sedation. The entire egg retrieval takes less than 30 min.

·        Fertilization and Transfer
After the egg retrieval, the embryologist fertilizes the donated eggs in the laboratory with sperm from the egg recipient’s partner or donor sperm. The resulting embryos are incubated for three to five days and then transferred to the uterus of the recipient.

Way of payment: 50% before starting the stimulation on appropriate donor eggs and 50% before the embryo transfer procedure takes place.
