Embryo Donation Success Rates: What to Expect
Embryo donation is a common solution in reproductive medicine.
As every fertility treatment, it has a certain list of indications. Embryo donation will help if the patient has no own eggs to use in IVF and is single (or if her partner cannot provide his own sperm due to infertility).
In this case, it is possible to resort to donor embryos and overcome infertility.
The success of embryo donation depends on several factors.
|
Embryo quality |
Good-quality embryo has a higher potential. The probability of getting pregnant and giving birth to a healthy child increases. The quality of embryo (embryo grade) is assessed based on the results of their development in the laboratory. |
|
Recipient's health |
The health of the woman undergoing a fresh or frozen embryo, the reproductive system and the readiness of the uterus for implantation. The criteria determining the success of ET and live birth after it. |
|
Clinic and technologies |
The experience and technologies used by the clinic's specialists play an important role in the fight against infertility. Highly qualified reproductive specialists, gynecologists and modern equipment increase the chances of success. |
NGC Clinic is a leading center in the field of reproductive medicine and embryo donation. It has advanced technologies, modern equipment and highly qualified personnel. The experienced team consists of reproductive specialists of top qualification.
In reproductive medicine, the success of embryo donation means:
- A positive pregnancy test. This is the first indicator that the procedure was successful.
- Confirmation of a viable pregnancy via ultrasound. Recording and confirmation of fetal development and its cardiac activity.
- Birth of the child. Expected, desired and final result of embryo donation.
Important. The concept of a healthy embryo and the success of donation varies depending on objective data about the patient's health. Women under 35 have normal fertility and the chances of successful conception reach 50%, while for women over 40 this figure drops to 20% or less.
The use of donor eggs and sperm for in vitro fertilization cycles demonstrates impressive results. When young and healthy women and men provide gametes, the probability of achieving pregnancy is as high as can be. It reaches:
- 62% (genetically screened embryo – PGT-A/NGS)
- 50% (regular embryo)
Endometrium preparation and embryo transfer procedure are the 2 main parts of a complex and multi-stage process. In order to reach the goal, a careful approach and professional supervision are required.
It is crucial to make sure that the patient’s uterus is in the optimal condition, as well as check breast using ultrasound or X-ray. Cervical screening test (PAP test) has to be performed according to guidelines. The patient should visit a GP doctor to check their cardiac function in order to exclude the risk of any somatic complications.
In order for an embryo to successfully implant, the recipient's uterus and endometrium must be properly prepared. Sometimes it is reasonable to begin with a "dummy" cycle to see if endometrium can reach the required thickness.
There are several protocols of preparation for embryo transfer. A lot of data has been gathered on natural and HRT-regulated cycles: both yield great results if managed properly. The final choice depends on the patient’s individual situation.
- Natural cycle and modified natural cycle. Requires ultrasound monitoring of follicle and endometrium growth. Small dosages of progesterone are used after ovulation.
- Artificial cycle. Endometrium grows due to estrogens in tablets or gel. The thickness of the endometrium is monitored. Progesterone support begins when the endometrium reaches the optimal thickness.
Embryo donation programs cause debates on ethical aspects. Issues attributed to donation are rich in content.
- Genetics. The lack of genetic link between the mother and the baby is not an obstacle to joys of parenthood. The special bond starts developing straight after a successful implantation. The woman’s body and her positive mindset during pregnancy have a huge influence on child’s development.
- Anonymous vs open donation. There is much debate about whether donor information should be confidential or accessible. In any scenario, this is decided by the patient individually. At NGC, you can access both anonymous and open donation programs.
- Monetary compensation. The fact that donors are reimbursed may be misinterpreted. However, we consider remunerating donors for their generous act to be absolutely normal and acceptable.
- Donor recruitment methods. NGC doesn’t use advertisement to recruit new donors. Instead, our good reputation is what attracts new candidates as many of our active donors recommend us to their friends. We use a simple feedback form on its website where potential donors can leave their contact information.
The problems of the ethics of IVF may require some mental adjustment. Still, most of the questions arise due to limited knowledge.
