Ovum Donor

Overview

Ovum (Egg) is the female reproductive cell released from the ovary during ovulation and plays a key role in conception. When fertilized by a sperm, the ovum develops into an embryo, leading to pregnancy.

Ovum (Egg) Donor Programme

The Ovum Donor Programme is an advanced fertility treatment in which healthy eggs donated by a young, screened woman are used to help another woman conceive through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). This programme is recommended when a woman is unable to produce healthy eggs of her own but wishes to experience pregnancy and childbirth.

At Naarayani, the ovum donor programme is carried out with complete confidentiality, ethical practices, and personalized medical care.

Who Needs an Ovum Donor Programme?

An ovum donor programme may be advised in the following conditions:

  • Poor ovarian reserve or low egg quality

  • Premature ovarian failure or early menopause

  • Advanced maternal age

  • Repeated IVF failures

  • Genetic disorders that may be passed to the child

  • Surgical removal or non-functioning ovaries

How Does the Ovum Donor IVF Process Work?

  1. Initial Consultation & Evaluation
    The fertility specialist evaluates the recipient’s medical history and uterine health.

  2. Donor Selection & Screening
    Egg donors are carefully selected and undergo thorough medical, genetic, and psychological screening.

  3. Ovarian Stimulation & Egg Retrieval
    The donor receives medications to stimulate egg production, followed by egg retrieval under medical supervision.

  4. Fertilization
    Donor eggs are fertilized with the recipient partner’s sperm (or donor sperm) in the IVF laboratory.

  5. Embryo Transfer
    A healthy embryo is transferred into the recipient’s uterus through a simple, painless procedure.

  6. Pregnancy Test & Follow-up
    A blood test confirms pregnancy, followed by ongoing prenatal care.
