Contraception Europe

A woman who does not have any contraindication for pregnancy or delivery can opt for fertilization treatment with donated eggs.The results of fertilization treatment with donated eggs are extremely good. Donated eggs enable the conception and the birth of a healthy child in many families when this is no longer possible with the woman’s own eggs. We choose such donor for recipient whose physical features, such as the colour of hair and eyes, body build match those of the recipient.The egg donation program of the AVA clinics do not share the eggs, the recipient is given all the eggs that her chosen donor produces during one treatment cycle. The number of eggs varies depending on the donor’s reaction to the stimulation. The donated eggs are fertilized with the partner’s sperm, either fresh or frozen. We screen our egg donors carefully. They are healthy women aged 18-34, who voluntarily offer their help to grant the chance of motherhood to anonymous recipients.Most of our donors are mothers themselves and wish to share that experience with those who desire it. In many cases the donors have witnessed the grief caused by infertility among family and friends. In the process of choosing donors, the psychologists of our clinic meet and discuss with the possible donors. All our donors have been tested for any abnormalities in their chromosomes, HIV, contagious hepatitis as well as the most common sexually transmitted diseases and also have been examined by narcologist.The treatment with donated eggs is an option to conceive if a woman has failed to get pregnant with her own eggs. Fertilization with donated eggs is a big step for couples to take, and to come to terms with the idea often requires time and professional help. Therefore we recommend all of our recipient couples to discuss the issue with either our specialists at the clinic.Treatment using donor ovum provides opportunity to become pregnant if it has proved not possible by of own ovum of patient.

There are two methods of fertilization, depending on the semen quality and results of sperm function test, either by means traditional IVF method, or with a help of micro-fertilization (ICSI). Fertilization in vitro (IVF) is the type of infertility treatment when ovum is fertilized out of female body.Currently fertilization in vitro is the most efficient type of infertility treatment. If the semen is normal or close to normal in regard to the number of sperm, its motility and morphology, the conventional IVF method can be used for egg fertilization.The processed semen sample is placed in the dish in which the eggs are cultured. The sperm swim to the eggs and into a special dish attach onto their surface fertilizing them. But for fertilization there should be only one spermatozoid.
