What Are Donor Services in IVF?

Donor Services refer to the use of donated eggs, sperm, or embryos to help couples or individuals conceive when their own gametes are unavailable or medically unsuitable. These services are a crucial option for:

  • Women with poor egg quality or early menopause

  • Men with zero or poor-quality sperm (azoospermia)

  • Couples with genetic disorders

  • Single parents or same-sex couples

  • Previous IVF failures due to poor embryo quality

At PRAVI Global IVF, we ensure that all donor processes are confidential, ethical, legally compliant, and managed with compassion and care.

 

Types of Donor Services Offered:

  1. Donor Egg Program – Healthy eggs from a young, medically screened female donor

  2. Donor Sperm Program – Quality sperm from an anonymous, certified donor

  3. Donor Embryo Program – Donated embryos from another IVF couple (with consent)

  4. Known Donor Guidance – Legal and medical support if using a known donor

Donor Egg (Oocyte Donation)

 

Donor Egg IVF, also known as Oocyte Donation, is a fertility treatment in which eggs are retrieved from a healthy, young donor and fertilized with the male partner’s or donor’s sperm in the lab. The resulting embryo is then transferred into the uterus of the woman wishing to conceive.

This process helps women who are unable to produce healthy eggs but still have a healthy uterus.


Who Needs Donor Egg Treatment?

Donor egg IVF is recommended in the following cases:

  • Women with low AMH or poor egg quality

  • Premature ovarian failure or early menopause

  • Genetic disorders that may pass to the child

  • Women aged 40+ with multiple failed IVF cycles

  • Surgical removal of ovaries

  • Poor ovarian response to stimulation

 
 

 Donor Sperm

Donor sperm is used in fertility treatments like IUI or IVF when the male partner’s sperm is unavailable, of poor quality, or carries genetic issues. The sperm is provided by healthy, anonymous donors who are medically and genetically screened.

This is a safe, ethical, and commonly used method to help couples and single women achieve their dream of becoming parents.

✅ Who Needs Donor Sperm?

  • Azoospermia (no sperm production)
  • Very low sperm count or poor motility
  • Inherited genetic disorders in the male partner
  • Repeated IVF failures due to poor sperm quality
  • Single women seeking motherhood

 Donor Embryos

Donor embryo treatment involves using a fertilized embryo donated by another couple who has completed their IVF treatment and consented to donate their remaining healthy embryos. This option offers a unique and powerful solution for couples or individuals who cannot use their own eggs and/or sperm.

At PRAVI Global IVF, we offer ethical, legal, and medically guided donor embryo programs to help you take a confident step toward parenthood.

Who Should Consider Donor Embryos?

  • Couples where both partners have infertility issues (eggs & sperm)
  • Women with repeated IVF failures and poor-quality embryos
  • Women with low ovarian reserve and no male partner
  • Couples with genetic disorders who wish to avoid inheritance risks
  • Single women wanting a child but not undergoing separate egg/sperm donor cycles
