Gamete donation is an essential part of assisted reproductive technology (ART), offering a solution for individuals and couples who are unable to conceive using their own eggs or sperm.
This process involves the donation of oocytes (egg donation) or sperm (sperm donation) from a healthy, pre-screened donor to help intended parents achieve pregnancy.
Gamete donation is recommended in various situations, including:
-
Women with premature ovarian insufficiency, poor ovarian reserve, or genetic disorders.
-
Men with severe male infertility, azoospermia (absence of sperm), or genetic conditions that could be transmitted to offspring.
-
Couples who have experienced repeated IVF failures due to poor gamete quality.
- Individuals or couples in need of donor conception, including same-sex couples and single parents by choice.
A Path to Parenthood
For many, gamete donation represents a unique opportunity to build a family. It is a deeply personal and meaningful process that provides hope to those facing infertility. With the guidance of experienced specialists, recipients can navigate this journey with confidence and reassurance.
