Egg Donation Programme Mumbai

What is Egg Donation?

Egg donation is a form of assisted reproduction in which eggs from a screened, anonymous donor are fertilised with the recipient's partner's sperm (or donor sperm) in the IVF laboratory. The resulting embryos are transferred into the recipient's uterus, which has been prepared with hormones to support implantation.

Dr. Unnati Mamtora offers a fully confidential, personalised egg donation programme for women who are unable to use their own eggs to achieve a pregnancy. All donors undergo comprehensive medical, genetic, and psychological screening before being accepted into the programme.

The Egg Donation Process: Step by Step

1
Recipient Evaluation

Detailed assessment of uterine health, hormone levels, and overall suitability for embryo transfer.

2
Donor Screening

A matched anonymous donor undergoes infectious disease testing, genetic carrier screening, ovarian reserve testing, and psychological evaluation.

3
Cycle Synchronisation

The donor's ovarian stimulation and the recipient's uterine preparation are coordinated to align transfer timing precisely.

4
Egg Retrieval & Fertilisation

Donor eggs are retrieved and fertilised with the partner's (or donor) sperm using IVF or ICSI in the laboratory.

5
Embryo Transfer

The best-quality embryo is transferred into the recipient's prepared uterus — a quick, painless procedure.

6
Luteal Support & Pregnancy Test

Hormone support continues after transfer. A blood test 14 days later confirms whether implantation has been successful.

Who Should Consider Egg Donation?

  • Premature ovarian failure or early menopause
  • Very poor ovarian reserve (low AMH, minimal antral follicles)
  • Repeated IVF failure due to consistently poor egg quality
  • Genetic conditions the woman cannot risk passing on to a child
  • Women who have undergone chemotherapy or radiotherapy affecting ovarian function
  • Older women with significantly diminished ovarian reserve

Frequently Asked Questions

The child will be genetically related to the sperm provider but not to you as the egg recipient. However, as the birth mother you will carry and nurture the pregnancy — and the uterine environment you provide shapes early development in profound ways.

Donors are anonymous volunteers aged 21–30. They undergo infectious disease testing (HIV, Hepatitis B & C), genetic carrier screening, psychological assessment, and detailed ovarian reserve evaluation before acceptance into the programme.

Egg donation IVF consistently achieves higher success rates than standard IVF because younger, carefully screened donors are used. Live birth rates per transfer can exceed 50–60% in suitable candidates.

Yes. The identity of the donor is kept strictly confidential, and the donor does not know the identity of the recipient. The programme operates under complete anonymity on both sides.

From initial evaluation to embryo transfer typically takes 6–10 weeks, depending on donor availability and the synchronisation of stimulation and recipient preparation cycles.
