Donor Egg & Donor Sperm Programs in Mumbai | Trusted Fertility Support.

What Are Donor Egg & Donor Sperm Programs?

Donor egg & donor sperm programs are fertility treatments where eggs or sperm from a carefully screened donor are used to help couples conceive. These programs provide an option for individuals or couples who cannot conceive using their own eggs or sperm due to age, medical conditions, or genetic concerns. At Meridian IVF, all donor procedures are conducted safely, ethically, and with full medical supervision, ensuring trust and comfort throughout the process.

Who Should Consider Donor Egg & Donor Sperm Programs?

Couples or individuals may consider donor eggs or sperm if:

• Women have a diminished ovarian reserve or poor egg quality
  

• Men have very low sperm count, poor motility, or genetic concerns
  

• Previous IVF attempts using own eggs or sperm were unsuccessful
  

• Single women or same-sex couples wish to conceive
  

Using donor gametes can provide hope for those facing these challenges and significantly increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.

How Are Donors Selected and Screened at Our Sperm Donation Center?

Safety and quality are paramount in our sperm donation center and egg donor programs. Our sperm donation center follows strict medical protocols, and donors undergo:

• Comprehensive medical screening, including infectious disease testing
  

• Genetic testing to minimize hereditary risks
  

• Psychological evaluation to ensure readiness and suitability
  

• Detailed personal and family medical history review
  

Only carefully screened donors from our sperm donation center are selected, ensuring ethical standards and optimal outcomes for recipients.

How Does IVF or IUI Work with Donor Egg & Donor Sperm Programs?

The process of using donor gametes in IVF or IUI generally involves:

• Donor cycle preparation: Donor’s ovaries are stimulated to produce multiple eggs.
  

• Egg retrieval or sperm collection: Eggs are collected from the donor, or sperm is collected from our sperm donation center.
  

• Fertilization or insemination: In IVF, donor eggs are fertilized with the partner’s or donor sperm; in IUI, donor sperm is placed directly in the uterus.
  

• Embryo transfer: The resulting embryo is transferred to the recipient’s uterus.
  

• Pregnancy testing: Blood tests are done after 10–14 days to confirm pregnancy.
  

These steps are carefully monitored by fertility specialists to ensure safety and maximize success.

Is Donor Egg & Donor Sperm Treatment Allowed in India?

Yes, donor egg and donor sperm programs are legally permitted in India under the guidelines of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). All procedures are conducted ethically, and donor anonymity is maintained according to legal standards. At Meridian IVF, our sperm donation center ensures full compliance with Indian regulations while providing personalized care and support throughout your fertility journey.

What Results Can I Expect with Donor Egg & Donor Sperm Programs?

Success rates for donor egg or donor sperm programs are generally higher than conventional IVF for couples with fertility challenges, as donor eggs are typically from young, healthy donors and donor sperm comes from carefully screened, high-quality donors. Success depends on several factors, including:

• The recipient’s uterine health: A healthy uterine lining and absence of structural issues are crucial for embryo implantation.

• Overall reproductive condition: Age, hormonal balance, and previous fertility treatments can influence outcomes.

• Adherence to medical advice and treatment protocols: Following medication schedules, attending monitoring appointments, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle improve chances of success.

Fertility specialists at Meridian IVF closely monitor each cycle in our sperm donation center, ensuring that embryos are transferred at the optimal time and providing guidance on any adjustments needed. While individual outcomes vary, many couples achieve pregnancy within a few cycles. Our team provides realistic expectations, ongoing support, and thorough explanations of each step to make the process as smooth and reassuring as possible.
