Donor Egg IVF

In Donor Egg In Vitro Fertilisation, also known as IVF with egg donation, the donor eggs are fertilised with the sperm in the laboratory and the embryo is then transferred to the patient’s uterus.

Donor Egg IVF is the treatment with the best success rates.

For whom?

It is an optimal option for those patients whose eggs are not of sufficient quality to achieve an evolving pregnancy, either because of their age or other circumstances (menopause, early ovarian failure, genetic causes, cancer treatments, etc.)

Success Rate

The pregnancy rate per cycle refers to pregnancies achieved with embryos generated in a single puncture or oocyte retrieval. This includes the transfer of fresh embryos and any frozen embryos. In the case of IVF with donor eggs, our pregnancy rate is 91.5%.

These excellent results have been achieved by transferring a single embryo in 90% of the treatments. In this way, we have shown that the transfer of a single blastocyst (embryo on its fifth day of development) improves success rates.

How does it work?

The embryo transfer is carried out ‘fresh’, without freezing it. This requires a great deal of coordination and synchronisation between the donor and the future mother, but it also offers the best results. Even so, either by decision of the patient or by medical indication, we can also do the embryo transfer in deferred, freezing the embryos obtained to transfer them in a later cycle.

Our Donors: The Perfect "Match"

In Barcelona, and as a project of Institut Marquès, we have our egg and sperm bank with more than 2,000 donors. They are anonymous donors since the Spanish law 14/2006 of May 14, on assisted human reproduction techniques, establishes that donation must be done anonymously, voluntarily, informed and unpaid.

As we have our own gamete banks, we know the donors and select only the best. They are young people who decide to donate to help other people start a family and who must pass exhaustive medical and psychological tests. We also have all the phenotypes to find the most suitable for each case. It is the doctor himself who will be in charge of choosing the most suitable egg donor and sperm donor for you, taking into account their physical characteristics and the hereditary traits of their personality. We look for the perfect match.
