Egg Donation Program – for the Recipient

An alternative and effective method of conceiving for your family.

Candidates for this approach have advanced ovarian age, elevated FSH, multiple failed IVF attempts, or premature ovarian failure. Pacific Reproductive Center’s egg donation program locates and screens donors who can provide healthy eggs for women unable to conceive using their own eggs. The egg donation process involves the use of retrieved eggs from our carefully selected donor pool. Your husband’s sperm fertilizes the donor’s eggs and the resulting embryos are implanted into and later delivered by you, the recipient.

Egg donation offers many advantages over alternatives such as adoption:

1. The characteristics of your donor are selected by you to provide an approximate match to your own characteristics.
2. The fetus is grown and nurtured in an environment you know and trust (your own body!).
3. The success rate per retrieval is very high (over 50% delivery rate).
4. You have the opportunity to create a life.
5. There are often extra embryos that may be used to create a second child in the years to come.

We know the decision to use donor eggs can be an emotionally difficult decision to make. Pacific Reproductive Center understands how to work closely with you and your donor to prepare you for a successful implant and pregnancy. Please feel welcome to contact June at (310) 376-7000 orsend an email to discuss the process and to review your specific issues and concerns.
