Embryo Donation

There are some situations where the couples have both male and female factor infertility. Where the woman doesn’t produce eggs, and the man does not produce sperm. In these cases, one can find a sperm donor and an oocyte donor and transfer the resulting embryo to the recipient’s uterus. This method is suggested for couples who know that they cannot get pregnant with either of their gametes. Some couples choose this treatment even if only one is diagnosed as infertile.

In short, both the male would need a sperm donor, and the female would need an oocyte donor.

These situations are summarised below:

Diabetes or recurrent miscarriages are not considered to necessitate embryo donation.
