Donation and surrogacy programs are advanced achievements in reproductive medicine, providing a solution for families facing difficulties with conception or carrying a pregnancy. These methods address infertility by enabling the use of donor eggs, sperm, or embryos. They restore lost or limited reproductive functions, offering a high probability of successful conception and childbirth.

Surrogacy programs are particularly valuable for couples unable to carry a pregnancy. Surrogate mothers undergo rigorous screening and medical supervision, ensuring a safe process at every stage. Their participation enables families not only to achieve conception but also to successfully welcome their long-awaited child.

What Is Egg Donation?

Egg donation is a process where a woman provides her eggs for use in fertility treatments. It is an essential solution for women who cannot use their own eggs due to medical reasons, offering them a chance to conceive through assisted reproductive technologies.

In a healthy woman, approximately 400,000 eggs are produced, but only about 400 reach full maturity. By donating her eggs, the donor is offering those that would not have been used in her own reproductive process, making egg donation a crucial option for individuals facing infertility.

Donors undergo thorough medical screening to ensure they are healthy and suitable for the program, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of fertility treatments.

When Is Egg Donation Required?

Donor oocytes are necessary in cases such as:

• premature menopause or diminished ovarian reserve;

• congenital anomalies, such as Turner syndrome;

• effects of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgical interventions;

• risk of transmitting hereditary diseases to the child;

• multiple failed attempts at IVF with the patient’s own eggs.

How the Egg Donation Program Works

Donor Selection
Donors are selected based on phenotypic characteristics, compatibility, and medical criteria. They may be anonymous participants or relatives of the recipient.

Donor Examination
Donors undergo a thorough medical evaluation, including:

• genetic tests to rule out hereditary diseases;

• blood tests for infections (HIV, hepatitis, etc.);

• consultations with a psychiatrist and general practitioner;

• pelvic ultrasound to assess ovarian reserves.

Ovulation Stimulation and Egg Retrieval
Donors receive medications to stimulate ovulation, enabling the retrieval of multiple mature oocytes. Egg retrieval is performed under ultrasound guidance in a day-stay clinic.

Fertilization and Embryo Cultivation
The retrieved oocytes are fertilized with sperm, and the embryos are cultured for 5–7 days. Genetic testing may be performed to ensure chromosomal normality.

Embryo Transfer
One embryo is transferred to the recipient’s uterus, while the remaining embryos are cryopreserved for future use.

Surrogacy

Surrogacy is a reproductive method in which a woman carries a child for another family. It is often employed when a woman cannot carry a pregnancy due to medical reasons.

What Is Surrogacy?

Surrogacy can be:

• Gestational: The surrogate has no genetic connection to the child.

• Traditional: The surrogate uses her own egg.

Gestational surrogacy is the most common approach, as it eliminates any genetic link between the surrogate and the child.

When Is Surrogacy Used?

Surrogacy is an effective solution in cases such as:

• absence of a uterus (due to congenital conditions or surgical removal);

• repeated failed IVF attempts;

• severe medical conditions that prevent pregnancy.

How the Surrogacy Program Works

Surrogate Selection
Surrogate mothers are rigorously screened for medical and psychological health. They must have prior successful pregnancies and meet age requirements.

Preparation for Pregnancy
Before embryo transfer, the surrogate undergoes hormonal preparation to synchronize her cycle with the recipient’s.

Embryo Transfer and Pregnancy Monitoring
Following the embryo transfer, the surrogate receives continuous medical monitoring, including ultrasounds and regular check-ups, to ensure the health of both mother and child until delivery.

Program Effectiveness

The effectiveness of these programs depends on the quality of donor material, the recipient’s health, and adherence to medical guidelines. The likelihood of a successful clinical pregnancy using donor eggs reaches up to 79.8% when genetic testing is performed on embryos.

Advantages of Donation and Surrogacy Programs

• Provides the opportunity to have a child even in complex medical situations.

• Offers personalized care and comprehensive medical support.

• Ensures a high probability of successful conception and pregnancy.

• Utilizes advanced technologies such as cryopreservation, ultrasounds, and genetic testing.
