Egg Donation (Oocyte Donation)
One of the most exciting and significant advances in reproductive
medicine has been the introduction of egg donation. Egg donation can help a woman
bear children, even if she is experiencing infertility due to a low number or
low quality of eggs. Egg donation was originally developed for women who had
experienced menopause (complete depletion of eggs) or for women who were born
without functioning ovaries. Today, egg donation is most commonly used by women
who are experiencing age-related infertility.
We have been facilitating egg donation for our patients since 1990, working
extensively with anonymous and known donors (usually relatives or friends of
the recipient parents). We have an in-house registry of egg donors who are local
to San Jose and surrounding cities in the Bay Area. We follow ASRM guidelines
carefully to ensure privacy and well-being for everyone involved.
