Donor Egg IVF: A Path to Parenthood for Many

For many individuals and couples struggling with infertility, donor egg IVF is one of the most successful fertility treatments available. This advanced reproductive technology helps those who are unable to conceive with their own eggs, offering a high success rate and the chance to build a family.

At Boston IVF, we specialize in donor egg IVF, offering compassionate care and cutting-edge treatment options tailored to each patient’s unique fertility journey. Please note that all New York patient donor egg IVF treatments are performed at the Albany, NY center.

What Is Donor Egg IVF?

Donor egg IVF is a process in which eggs from a healthy, screened donor are fertilized with sperm in a state-of-the-art IVF laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the recipient’s uterus to achieve pregnancy.

Egg donors can be:

  • Anonymous donors from an egg donor bank
  • Known donors, such as a friend or family member

At Boston IVF, we provide comprehensive screening for all donors to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Understanding Egg Quality and Fertility Decline

Egg quality naturally declines with age, and some individuals experience diminished ovarian reserve earlier due to medical conditions or treatments like chemotherapy.

This makes donor egg IVF a powerful option for those who:

By using donor eggs, recipients have a significantly higher chance of achieving pregnancy, regardless of their own ovarian health.

This fertility treatment may be recommended for individuals experiencing:

  • Advanced maternal age (typically over 40)
  • Premature ovarian failure or early menopause
  • Multiple unsuccessful IVF cycles with their own eggs
  • Poor egg quality or recurrent pregnancy loss
  • Genetic disorders that could be inherited
  • LGBTQ+ family-building needs

If you’re exploring fertility treatment options, Boston IVF’s Donor Egg Program can provide a highly successful pathway to parenthood.
