Egg donation is an assisted fertility treatment in which eggs from a carefully evaluated donor are used to help another woman or couple achieve pregnancy. The donated eggs are fertilized with sperm in the laboratory, usually through IVF, and the resulting embryo is transferred into the recipient’s uterus.
Egg donation may be considered when a woman has reduced or absent ovarian function, significantly diminished egg reserve, poor egg quality, or certain genetic or medical factors that make using her own eggs difficult or unsuitable.
Dr. Gargi Pal provides individualized fertility guidance to help patients understand whether egg donation may be an appropriate option for their circumstances.
Who May Consider Egg Donation?
Egg donation may be considered for women who have:
The decision is highly individual and should be made after a detailed fertility assessment and consultation.
How Does Egg Donation Treatment Work?
Dr. Gargi Pal reviews your fertility history, previous treatments, medical background, and reproductive goals. Appropriate investigations are recommended to determine whether egg donation may be suitable.
An appropriate donor is selected according to applicable medical, ethical, and legal requirements. Donor screening and eligibility assessment are carried out through the appropriate process.
The donor undergoes appropriate medical and fertility assessments. Depending on the applicable protocol, screening may include medical history, physical assessment, infectious disease screening, genetic evaluation, and reproductive assessment.
The donor may receive fertility medications to stimulate the ovaries and encourage the development of multiple mature follicles. Ultrasound monitoring and other assessments help track the response.
When the follicles are appropriately developed, the mature eggs are collected through an ultrasound-guided egg retrieval procedure.
The donated eggs are fertilized with the intended partner's sperm or other legally permitted sperm source in the laboratory. Depending on the clinical circumstances, conventional IVF or ICSI may be considered.
The fertilized eggs are carefully monitored in the laboratory as they develop into embryos. The embryology team assesses their development before deciding on the next stage.
The recipient's uterine lining is prepared to create suitable conditions for embryo transfer. Medication and monitoring are individualized according to the treatment plan.
A suitable embryo is transferred into the recipient's uterus using a thin catheter. The procedure is generally quick and does not usually require sedation.
A pregnancy test is performed at the appropriate time after embryo transfer. If pregnancy occurs, Dr. Gargi Pal provides appropriate follow-up and early pregnancy monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Donor eggs may be considered for women with significantly reduced ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, poor egg quality, repeated unsuccessful IVF cycles, or certain genetic or medical circumstances.
Yes. Donated eggs are fertilized in a laboratory as part of an IVF treatment cycle.
Yes, ICSI may be considered when clinically appropriate, particularly when there are concerns related to sperm quality or previous fertilization.
Usually, the recipient’s uterine lining needs to be prepared appropriately before an embryo is transferred. The medication and monitoring schedule are individualized.
No. Egg donation can provide an important fertility option, but no fertility treatment can guarantee pregnancy or a live birth.
With donor eggs, the child is not genetically related to the woman who provides the uterus and carries the pregnancy through the donated egg. The genetic contribution from the egg comes from the donor, while the sperm contributes the paternal genetic material.
