Receive / Donate / Share Eggs
Egg donation has been a standard form of fertility treatment since 1984. It is used in women in whom the ovaries have lost the ability to produce eggs of a suitable quality, or in some cases have lost the ability to produce eggs at all, e.g. premature ovarian failure. In these circumstances there is nothing wrong with the uterus itself and patients can successfully become pregnant using donated eggs with no increased risk to the pregnancy. In fact, in egg donation the chance of pregnancy is higher than in normal IVF treatment mainly because donors tend to be younger and more fertile than women seekingIVF treatment with their own eggs. Our team has been very active in our attempts to raise awareness of the need for egg donors over recent years and we are very conscious of the enormous gift that donors are making to an infertile couple. Egg donation at our Clinic is usually anonymous but we will accept known donors (following careful consideration on a case by case basis) providing they fall within the criteria discussed in the paragraph egg donors

Who can become a donor?
All sperm donors at IVFAustralia must adhere to practices developed by the Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee of the Fertility Society of Australia, and the National Health and Medical Research Council, including:
- Donors must be older than 21 years of age and younger than 50 years of age.
- Donors must be shown by blood tests before and after three months of quarantining of the semen samples to be free of serious infection or genetic conditions.
- Donors must have never previously donated at any other fertility clinic.
- Donors must have no medical conditions or illnesses, either in himself or in his family that may be passed on to future children.
The Process:
The first step is a consultation with a fertility specialist, followed by a semen analysis and compulsory counselling. We discuss legal, social, genetic and moral implications of the donation as well as the health checks and procedures involved.
Sperm donors need to be prepared to discuss and provide the following types of information:
- Medical history – advising of all known allergies.
- Physical description.
- Lifestyle declaration – including details of any donation at other assisted reproductive treatment clinics.

FAQ's
1. What is egg donation and how does the process work?
Egg donation is a fertility treatment where eggs from a healthy donor are retrieved, fertilized with sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryos are transferred into the recipient’s uterus. This allows women who cannot produce healthy eggs to achieve pregnancy. The process includes donor selection, medical screening, fertilization through IVF, and embryo transfer under expert supervision.
2. Who should consider receiving donor eggs?
Women who have poor egg quality, premature ovarian failure, age-related infertility, or those who have undergone treatments affecting ovarian function may consider egg donation. It is also an option for women who have had repeated IVF failures or genetic conditions that they do not wish to pass on.
3. Who can become an egg donor?
Egg donors are usually healthy women within a specific age group, typically between 21 and 35 years. They must undergo strict medical, genetic, and psychological screening to ensure they are suitable for donation and do not carry any hereditary or infectious conditions.
4. Is egg donation safe for both donor and recipient?
Yes, egg donation is a safe and well-regulated process when performed under expert medical supervision. Donors are carefully monitored during egg retrieval, and recipients receive proper medical care to prepare the uterus for embryo transfer, ensuring safety and effectiveness.
5. Is egg donation anonymous or can donors be known?
In most cases, egg donation is anonymous to protect the privacy of both donor and recipient. However, in certain situations, known donors may be accepted after careful evaluation, counselling, and adherence to legal and ethical guidelines.
6. What is the success rate of egg donation?
Egg donation typically has higher success rates compared to standard IVF because the eggs are sourced from young, healthy donors. This improves embryo quality and increases the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.
7. What tests are done before egg donation?
Donors undergo comprehensive screening, including blood tests for infections, genetic testing, hormone evaluation, and general health assessments. Recipients also undergo medical evaluation to ensure the uterus is ready for implantation.
8. Are there any risks involved in egg donation?
Egg donation is generally safe, but minor risks may include temporary discomfort during egg retrieval for donors or mild side effects from medications. With proper monitoring and experienced care, complications are rare.
9. Can the recipient have a normal pregnancy and delivery?
Yes, recipients can experience a normal pregnancy and delivery. Since the uterus is capable of carrying the pregnancy, there is no increased risk compared to other fertility treatments when managed properly.
10. What support is provided during the egg donation process?
Patients receive complete support including medical consultation, counselling, legal guidance, and continuous monitoring throughout the treatment. This ensures clarity, emotional comfort, and a smooth fertility journey for both donors and recipients.
