Ovum donation

Ovum donation involves a woman donating healthy eggs to assist others in conceiving. The donor undergoes ovarian stimulation, similar to IVF, to produce extra eggs, which are then retrieved through a minor procedure. These eggs are fertilized with the recipient’s partner’s sperm or donor sperm in a lab. The resulting embryo is transferred into the recipient's uterus, helping her achieve pregnancy. Ovum donation is a valuable option for women who have limited or no viable eggs due to age, medical conditions, or genetic concerns, offering hope for biological motherhood when other methods are not suitable.
