Sperm donation is very common but what is egg donation all about? Why would we need donor eggs? Who will need donor egg and who can donate eggs? These are some of the common questions which arises when you are first time hearing the term “egg donation”. To start with, just like sperms for men, egg is for women. The quality of egg determine the fertility health of a woman. Though female infertility is less common than male infertility, it has equal impact on conception and is complicated than male infertility.
According to a fertility clinic in Mumbai, the number of couples opting for surrogacy and egg donation are increasing day by day. So answering the questions we have asked before, egg quality is very important for any women to conceive. Egg quality is determined by hormones and chromosomes. Poor egg quality can be associated to poor chromosomal abnormality in embryos also known as aneuploidy. This is the major reason for poor quality of eggs.
If your fertility doctor diagnoses you with aneuploidy, then he or she will suggest you go for an egg donor. Weak uterus is also a reason for poor egg quality. In the case of a week uterus, the suggestion may further extend to surrogacy, in which a female counterpart is chosen to carry the embryo and help in delivery. These people are called surrogate mother. Not everyone can donate eggs or become a surrogate mother. There are surrogate programs and egg donation programs in which you need to register yourself. All these are legal procedures which will help childless couples, overcome their complication and bear a child.
All fertility clinic in chennai, have these programs which will help you get a donor or a surrogate mother. There are way to bring back your egg quality but it is time consuming. When couples are desperate and not in a position to wait to pressure from society and family, they generally opt for egg donation. In the case of egg donation, the donor eggs will be checked and will be used in the regular IVF procedure in which the embryo is developed in a test tube and then after 2 weeks will be inserted into the uterus of the female counterpart. There is no surrogate mother involved in this. The female counterpart will undergo the regular pregnancy cycle like any other pregnant women.
