Donor Program
At Eva IVF & Women’s Centre, we understand that infertility can be an emotional challenge, but thanks to our Donor Program, couples and individuals who require donor eggs, sperm, or embryos can fulfill their dream of becoming parents. Our Donor Program provides carefully screened egg, sperm, and embryo donors, ensuring the highest quality and safety standards. Whether you are an intended parent looking for a donor or an individual considering becoming a donor, this guide will walk you through the process, benefits, pre-treatment preparations, and post-treatment care.
What is a Donor Program and Who Needs It?
Our Donor Program includes:
✔ Egg Donation – Women with poor egg quality or premature ovarian failure can conceive using a donor’s eggs.
✔ Sperm Donation – Intended parents with male infertility or single women wishing to conceive can use donor sperm.
✔ Embryo Donation – Couples who cannot conceive with their own gametes can use donated embryos.
Who Should Consider Using a Donor?
✔ Women with poor egg quality, low ovarian reserve, or early menopause
✔ Men with severe male infertility (low sperm count, poor motility, or no sperm in semen)
✔ Couples who have genetic disorders and wish to avoid passing them to their child
✔ Women who have undergone chemotherapy or radiation affecting fertility
✔ Same-sex couples and single individuals looking to conceive
💡 Our donor program provides a safe and ethical way for families to have biological children.
Step-by-Step Donor Program Process
💡 Excess embryos can be frozen for future use (Frozen Embryo Transfer – FET).
Success Rates of Donor Programs
📊 Donor eggs, sperm, and embryos often have higher success rates than traditional IVF.
✔ Egg Donation Success Rate: 50-70% per cycle
✔ Sperm Donation Success Rate (IUI/IVF): 30-60% per cycle
✔ Embryo Donation Success Rate: 40-60% per cycle
💡 Donor eggs and embryos often lead to higher pregnancy rates because donors are young, healthy individuals with high fertility potential.
How to Prepare for a Donor Cycle?
✔ Follow a Healthy Diet – Protein, Folic Acid, Iron, and Omega-3-rich foods
✔ Take Prenatal Supplements – Vitamin D, CoQ10, and Progesterone Support
✔ Maintain a Healthy Weight – Avoid being underweight/overweight
✔ Quit Smoking, Alcohol & Limit Caffeine – Improves implantation success
✔ Reduce Stress with Yoga, Meditation, or Therapy
What to Do After Donor Embryo Transfer?
✔ Rest for 24-48 hours after the transfer – Avoid stress & excessive movement.
✔ Avoid Heavy Exercise, Lifting, or Sexual Intercourse – Allow the embryo to implant.
✔ Eat Implantation-Friendly Foods – Avocado, Nuts, Whole Grains, Leafy Greens.
✔ Stay Hydrated & Take All Medications as Directed.
✔ Monitor Symptoms – Mild cramping or spotting is normal, but report any severe pain.
When to Take a Pregnancy Test?
