The egg donor program is suggested in the case of the following conditions

• Severe female factor infertility like severe endometriosis, big ovarian cysts, ovarian cancers, severe
• PCOD
• Premature ovarian failures
• Anti-ovarian antibodies
• Recurrent IVF failure
• Hyperprolactinemia

Egg donors are treated in our own clinic and are chosen after a series of blood tests conducted. We have to strictly follow the ICMR norms while choosing and treating egg donors. The donor has to remain anonymous.

This procedure is similar to egg donation. However, instead of borrowing the egg and the recipient’s male partner’s sperm for fertilization, both the egg and the sperm are derived from donors.

There are selected groups of patients to whom embryo donation is recommended:

• When both the partners are infertile
• Couples who are at a high risk of passing on genetic disorders to their offspring.
• Women with recurrent IVF failures

Under the sperm donation program, a donor sperm is used instead of the male partner’s sperm and insemination is carried out.

• Azoospermia in the male partner – in this particular condition the sperm production is nil
• In cases where testicular aspiration is nil or couples who do not want to opt for testicular aspiration (severe male factor infertility)
• Men with known genetic disorders or in cases where there is a risk of transmitting disorders to the future off spring
• Couples having severe male factor infertility and cannot afford an ICSI cycle, can opt for artificial insemination using donor sperm
• Recurrent miscarriages

The donor sperms are obtained from semen banks. Semen banks are commercial centre’s which store various semen samples which can be used for assisted reproduction. Semen samples are collected from selected professional donors who are screened for various parameters. All semen banks have to adhere to ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) rules and regulations and as per ICMR norms semen donor program should be anonymous at all times.
