Explaining IVF with Donor Eggs

The Florida Institute for Reproductive Sciences and Technologies in Weston, FL, explains that our doctor is devoted to helping couples have a family, using a donor egg if they have problems conceiving or present other issues. During this process, an egg is fertilized with sperm in a laboratory setting. Your ovaries are stimulated, producing multiple eggs that are removed.

Your eggs are placed with sperm in a laboratory setting to fertilize them, thus creating embryos. Our doctor places the embryo back into your uterus, which is monitored and hopefully develops into a baby.

Reasons for Using IVF

• Infertility
• Blocked/damaged fallopian tubes
• Endometriosis
• Ovulatory problems
• Male factor infertility, low sperm count, blockage
• Other fertility treatments failed
• Offers higher rate of fertility success
• Same-sex couples
• Serious genetic disorders
• Obtained previously frozen eggs

Success Rates for IVF Depend on Age

If you have frozen eggs, the success of the IVF process declines as you age; for example, the success rates for live births depend on the woman's age. Remember that the older the woman is during her pregnancy presents risks to her and her baby.

• Under age 35, 44.5%
• Ages 35-37 32.4%
• Ages 38-40 20.2%
• Ages 41-42 9.6%
• Over age 42, 2.9%

Success rates for live births also consider frozen versus fresh embryos. Frozen embryos, involving thawing, proved to be of lower quality. However, throughout recent years, science has improved, and new technologies in this medical field are comparable.

Data shows that first donor eggs were equal to a 41.4% live birth rate, and frozen eggs had a success rate of 39.1%. You could do better with a fresh embryo transfer.

IVF Success Rate Depends on the Following Criteria

• Age
• Egg supply
• How many eggs are retrieved
• Anti-müllerian hormone levels in the blood
• Condition of uterus
• Your weight
• Your lifestyle (taking drugs, smoking, drinking alcohol)
• Your weight
• Your daily nutritional intake, abundant fresh fruits/vegetables, legumes, beans, whole grains, decreased sugar/salt/processed foods
• Stressful life
