Donated embryos can offer a spark of hope for those hoping to become parents with unavailable or low-quality gametes and limited chances of pregnancy. Ovumia is a pioneer in donor-gamete treatments.
In embryo donation treatment, frozen embryos from another couple are used. These embryos were originally created with the couple’s own gametes for their own fertility treatment, but they have decided to donate the remaining embryos for others to use. Using donated embryos may be a suitable option when there are challenges with both eggs and sperm. Sometimes it is impossible to determine whether poor embryo quality comes from the eggs or the sperm and in such cases, embryo donation treatment can also be considered.
There is a limited number of donated embryos available. They are donated by couples who have already welcomed the number of children they hoped for through fertility treatment and no longer need their remaining embryos. They wish to donate their frozen embryos to support others who are struggling with infertility. Couples who donate embryos undergo a medical examination and meet with a psychologist to receive guidance on the psychological and ethical aspects of donation. Their chromosomes are assessed, and infectious diseases are screened through blood tests.
Before starting donation-embryo treatment, every patient receives donor-gamete counseling and a thorough medical assessment to determine the most suitable treatment option. The actual procedure is very similar to a frozen embryo transfer. It can be carried out in a natural cycle or in a cycle prepared with hormones.
