Oocyte (Egg) Donation

Today women over forty tend to be fit and healthy. Advances in medical science improved treatment of many medical ailments and patients are happy to fully enjoy life More women in forties and fifties are fit for motherhood. Are the forties ‘new thirties?’ Perhaps not, but older mothers make a new trend in our society. Many well-liked celebrities lead by example as they had her children later in life with facts to prove it: Nancy Grace and Geena Davis; both twins at 48, Marcia Cross and Jane Seymour, both twins at 44, Holly Hunter pregnant at 47, Cheryl Tiegs, twins at 52 and that list is growing

Premature Menopause

Menopause is premature for women who lost menses under age of 40 and typically is preceded by diminished ovarian reserve, AMH less then 1, and with less and poor- quality eggs. Menopausal ovaries, including premature menopause, produce no eggs and no hormones needed to sustain menstrual cycles necessitating egg donation to become pregnant

Pregnancy with Donor Egg

Donor egg pregnancy is more appealing option then ADOPTION for many patients ready to start new family. Women after menopause who want to get pregnant utilize donor eggs (oocytes) the most. Donated oocytes come from healthy, young women known to the recipient (directed donors), usually family members and friends or from anonymous (donors unknown to recipients) with pregnancy rates 60- 65% in our oocyte recipients that resulted in live births, and higher than national rates (below 45%). Our oldest first- time mother was 55 and with pleasure we report that she is very happy to enjoy her son childhood!

Positive attitude and compliance with instructions are crucial for successful outcome

What is Egg Donation?

Egg (oocyte) donation is IVF treatment where healthy egg is provided by a female donor for the individual or couple (recipients) seeking pregnancy. Donated oocytes come from healthy, young women known to the recipient (directed donors), usually family members and friends or from anonymous donors (unknown to recipients)

Egg is fertilized in the IVF laboratory with partner sperm to create embryo. Embryo is implanted in the patient uterus to conceive and carry pregnancy

Doctor Hanna’s Egg Donor Services offer expert guidance and personalized care to help patients become parents through egg donation.  Women who cannot produce healthy eggs, same- sex couple, single parents and women after menopause who want to get pregnant, utilize donated eggs the most

Pregnancy with Donated Eggs

  • Pregnancy with donor eggs is more appealing option then ADOPTION for many patients ready to start new family. More important, YOUNG AND HEALTHY EGG is the safest choice for older women to get pregnant
  • In Egg Donor IVF there are three elements needed; donor oocytes, patient (recipient) uterus and partner sperm

Doctor Hanna Donor IVF Step by Step

Donor Screening and Selection

  • Each donor is screened for genetic, infectious, social and women health- related factors
  • Preferred, that egg donating women already have children

Preparing Uterus for Embryo Transfer

  • Recipient (patient) uterus is treated with medications to receive and support growing embryo
  • Individually– designed protocols for each patient to meet her unique needs

Egg Retrieval and In- Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

  • Donor undergoes oocytes retrieval. Eggs are fertilized with partner sperm in the IVF laboratory to create EMBRYOS. In blastocyst stage, embryos are transferred into recipient uterus. Excess embryos are cryopreserved (frozen)

           Follow-up and Support

  • Protocols are ndividually designed for each patient. After- transfer care is monitored with blood tests for hormonal levels until pregnancy test

Donor IVF Pregnancy Rates Success

Doctor Hanna Egg Donor Program helped many patients to have family through egg donation. Our program is very successful with live birth rates 60- 65% and above national 45% rates   Using fresh eggs, superior to frozen, help more patients to get pregnant with single treatment cycle

Ovarian Aging

  • Ovarian aging and menopause are determined genetically. Women are born having set number of eggs, approximately 500, 000 in both ovaries
  • With each ovulation, over 1000 eggs is lost and at menopause there is no eggs left
  • Best eggs ovulate earlier in life. Women in their twenties have best quality eggs and achieve pregnancy easier and faster than later in life

Female Fertility Decreases with Age

First significant drop in egg quality and ovarian fertility happens around age of 30. Egg quality drops again at 35 and at 40 leaving less and less good eggs in the ovary

Poor quality eggs cause miscarriages and genetic birth defects. At 35, risk for birth defects is already ten times higher with steady increases every year afterwards

Are the Forties ‘New Thirties?’

Perhaps not, but older mothers make a new trend in our society. Women enjoy motherhood alone or with often new and younger partner. 

Well-liked celebrities lead by example as they had her children later in life with facts to prove it: Nancy Grace and Geena Davis; both twins at 48, Marcia Cross and Jane Seymour, twins at 44, Holly Hunter pregnant at 47, Cheryl Tiegs, twins at 52 and that list is growing

Pregnancy After Menopause

  • Menopause is premature for women who lost menses under age of 40 and typically is preceded by diminished ovarian reserve with less and poorer quality eggs.
  • Menopausal ovaries, including premature menopause, produce no eggs and no hormones to sustain menstrual cycles.
  • Egg donation is needed to become pregnant after menopause. Doctor Hanna egg donor program will be a part of the solution

More Women in Forties and Fifties are Fit for Motherhood

Today women over forty tend to be fit and healthy. Healthier lifestyle and advances in medical science improved treatment of many medical ailments. Free of chronic health problems, women include motherhood and children into fully enjoyed life. Doctor Hanna egg donor services helps those dreams become reality:

  •  Women age is the most common reasons patients turn to egg donation
  • Our oldest first- time mother was 55 and we report that she is very happy to enjoy her son childhood!

Preserve Your Oocytes (Social Freezing) for Future Use

Egg freezing earlier in life (Social Freezing) became a valuable option to prolong fertility and becoming mother later in life with own, cryopreserved eggs. Social freezing performed under 35 brings best results. In the late thirties or forties, when oocyte count and quality are lower, social freezing is less successful

Know Your AMH

  • AMH (Anti- Mullerian Hormone) blood testing is an important fertility test
  • AMH less than 1 indicates lower ovarian reserve, a ‘red flag’ for female fertility
  • Age, low AMH and medical conditions may negatively impact your desire for children and family
  •  If you have no children by 30 or 35, don’t wait any longer! Test your AMH (ovarian reserve). Every ovary is different with variable number of eggs for same age women
  • Over 35 and/or low- AMH makes social freezing less successful
