Sperm/Egg Donation

What is Sperm/Egg Donation?

Sperm and egg donation involve the use of donated sperm or eggs from a healthy, screened donor to help couples or individuals conceive a child. This process is often part of fertility treatments like intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), making it possible to overcome infertility challenges.

• Sperm Donation involves a donor providing healthy sperm that is used to fertilize an egg in the recipient’s body or in a laboratory setting.
• Egg Donation involves a donor providing eggs, which are fertilized with sperm (from the recipient’s partner or a donor) in a lab, with the resulting embryos transferred into the recipient’s uterus.

Both procedures are conducted under strict ethical and medical guidelines, ensuring safety, privacy, and optimal results for everyone involved.

Who Can Benefit from Sperm/Egg Donation?

Sperm and egg donation are tailored solutions for specific medical and personal situations. At Mamata Fertility Hospital in Secunderabad, our experienced specialists work closely with prospective parents to determine whether donation is the right path for them. Below are groups of individuals who may benefit from sperm or egg donation:

Who Needs Sperm Donation?

1. Male Factor Infertility
   Men with very low sperm count or poor sperm quality benefit from donor sperm to achieve fertilization.
2. Same-Sex Female Couples and Single Women
   Couples or individuals pursuing parenthood without a male partner opt for donor sperm.
3. Genetic Concerns
   Men with known genetic disorders may choose donor sperm to reduce the chances of passing on genetic conditions.

Who Needs Egg Donation?

1. Age-Related Fertility Decline
   Women over 40 or those with premature ovarian failure may need donor eggs.
2. Poor Egg Quality
   For women who experience recurrent IVF failures due to egg quality issues, donated eggs are a viable solution.
3. Genetic Disorders
   Women with hereditary medical conditions can prevent passing on genetic diseases by opting for donor eggs.
4. Surrogacy Arrangements
   Egg donation is often used in conjunction with surrogacy for successful pregnancies.

Every case is unique, and our compassionate specialists take the time to discuss your needs and identify the best fertility solution for you.

The Donation Process

At Mamata Fertility Hospital, the sperm and egg donation programs are designed to ensure a smooth, safe, and ethical experience for both donors and recipients. Here’s an overview of how the process works:

1. For Sperm Donation

• Screening and Eligibility:
  Donors undergo a thorough medical, genetic, and psychological evaluation to ensure they are suitable candidates.
• Sample Collection and Testing:
  Donors provide a sperm sample, which is tested for quality, motility, and normal morphology.
• Cryopreservation:
  Qualified sperm samples are cryopreserved and stored for future use with advanced techniques to maintain their health and viability.
• Recipient Matching:
  Recipients are matched with donors based on preferences like physical traits, ethnicity, or medical history, ensuring the best possible outcome.

2. For Egg Donation

• Donor Screening:
  Egg donors undergo a thorough evaluation, including hormone tests, genetic screening, ultrasound studies, and psychological counseling.
• Ovarian Stimulation:
  The donor takes medications to stimulate the ovaries and produce multiple eggs. This phase is closely monitored to ensure safety.
• Egg Retrieval:
  The retrieval procedure is minimally invasive and is performed under sedation, where eggs are collected using an ultrasound-guided needle.
• Fertilization and Embryo Transfer:
  The collected eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryos are transferred to the recipient’s uterus.

Our team ensures that donors are treated respectfully and recipients receive top-quality care throughout this process.

Legal and Ethical Considerations
