CSP supports both women and men on their path to parenthood. Egg donation is often part of this path. Together, egg donation and surrogacy offer hope for many people who simply want the chance to at last bring a baby home. Intended parents might require the use of donor eggs for several reasons.
Same-sex male couples We support all same-sex male couples and single men using egg donation as part of their surrogacy journey.
Females over age 35 Females over 35 with poor quality eggs or low ovarian reserve might need to work with their doctor to consider donor eggs. An ultrasound and blood test can confirm if they are a good candidate for using a egg donor. Recurrent failed IVF Donor eggs may be considered for parents who have had difficulty conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy, either due to miscarriages or failed cycles of IVF.
Cancer survivors For some females, cancer or cancer treatment can result in the loss of the ovaries or reproductive function. In these circumstances, donor eggs make motherhood possible.
Selection of a donor agency There are many options for choosing egg donor agencies. You can choose fresh or frozen donors. It’s important to speak with your doctor to decide which one is best for you. Often you can browse the agencies’ donor database and decide which one is the best fit for you. Most agencies will provide a free consultation to help you decide if they are the right fit for you.
Selection of an egg donor It’s beneficial to discuss what is important to you and in a donor. While looks are important, it is often easier to look at values and traits that are important to you or that you would like to see instilled in your child. This will help narrow the search. Here at CSP we feel it is important to look at proven, successful donors. That means a donor has done a cycle before and a previous cycle has resulted in a successful pregnancy and birth. We like to minimize risk, and this is one way to do that.
Process with your donor You will complete legal contracts with the help of your donor agency. Once legal has been completed the donor will see your fertility doctor for screening and retrieval. We recommend you have your donor see your Reproductive Endocrinologist so that they have the full scope of your fertility journey. They will also advise you of the different testing available to you for your embryos. Some of these tests look for genetic abnormalities, which also reveals the gender of each embryo. It will allow you to know which ones are the strongest and healthiest.
Transferring the embryo Prior to your surrogate’s transfer date you will discuss which embryo you want to transfer to your surrogate. Your embryo or embryos will be thawed out and transferred into the surrogate’s uterus. After the transfer it will take a few weeks before a pregnancy test is administered via bloodwork. You may also have your surrogate test at home, but as a reminder, a positive home test does not mean a totally successful transfer. Once you receive a positive blood test, they will take one more, then schedule your ultrasound to confirm heartbeat.
