What is donor egg IVF?

Donor Egg IVF is an advanced fertility treatment where eggs from a healthy donor are fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryo is then transferred into the recipient's uterus to establish pregnancy. Also known as egg donor IVF, this treatment provides an effective solution for women who cannot use their own eggs due to medical or age-related reasons. The donor egg IVF process involves careful donor screening, ovarian stimulation of the donor, egg retrieval, fertilisation, embryo culture, and embryo transfer. Donor egg IVF has become one of the most successful fertility treatments worldwide, especially for women with diminished ovarian reserve or repeated IVF failures.

Who needs donor egg IVF?

Women who are not able to use their own eggs for IVF may be advised to have donor egg IVF treatment.

Suitable candidates are those who have:


  • Poor egg quality and quantity decrease with age in women
  • Who have low AMH or poor ovarian response
  • Egg Donor IVF for early menopause or problems with their functioning ovaries
  • Inherited genetic diseases that may be passed on to her child
  • Multiple Failed IVF Cycles
  • Surgical Removal of Ovaries
  • Same Sex Male Couples and Single Men

What is the step-by-step egg donor ivf process?

Knowing a bit more about the donor egg IVF process can help ease some anxiety and help you prepare for the treatment.

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Your medical history, past fertility treatments and general health are assessed by a fertility specialist.
Investigations may include:

  • Blood tests
  • Hormone evaluation
  • Ultrasound scan
  • Semen analysis
  • Uterine assessment

Step 2: Donor Selection

Donors are thoroughly screened.
The evaluation includes:

  • Medical history
  • Genetic testing
  • Infectious disease screening
  • Psychological assessment
  • Fertility evaluation
  • Legal and ethical criteria used to choose donors

Step 3: Donor Ovarian Stimulation

  • The donor is given fertility drugs to help more no of eggs to grow
  • Monitoring regularly will help achieve optimum follicle growth

Step 4: Egg Retrieval

  • Minimally invasive procedure, during which the mature eggs are collected
  • The procedure will normally take 20 to 30 minutes

Step 5: Recipient Uterine Preparation

  • Recipient is given hormonal treatment to prepare her uterus for embryo implanting
  • The thickness of the endometrium is monitored during ultrasound

Step 6: Fertilisation

Donor eggs are harvested and then fertilised with:

  • Conventional IVF
  • ICSI if required
  • Lab to grow embryos for a few days

Step 7: Embryo transfer

  • One or more healthy embryos are placed in the woman's uterine cavity
  • It is an easy procedure and generally doesn't require any anaesthesia

Step 8: Pregnancy Test

  • A blood pregnancy test is performed around 10-14 days
  • Follow-up scans are performed to check the early development of pregnancy

What is the donor egg IVF timeline?

The entire donor egg IVF procedure timeline is typically 6-10 weeks, but actual treatment duration may vary based on the donor and individual medical requirements.

Week 1 – 2: Consultation and Fertility Assessment

Your initial visit starts with detailed consultation, fertility testing and a review of your health history. With the outcomes, the fertility specialist designs an individual donor egg IVF procedure plan.

  • Initial consultation
  • Fertility testing
  • Treatment planning

Week 2 - 4: Donor Matching and Recipient Preparation

After careful screening of an appropriate egg donor, the recipient begins taking hormones to thicken the uterine lining for embryo transfer.

  • Donor matching
  • Recipient preparation
  • Hormonal monitoring

Weeks 4 - 6: Donor Stimulation and Egg Retrieval

Donor is given fertility drugs to grow eggs and regular scans to check egg growth. When mature, the eggs are retrieved with a relatively benign technique.

  • Donor stimulation
  • Monitoring
  • Egg retrieval

Week 5 – 6: Fertilisation and Embryo Development

The retrieved eggs from the donor are then fertilised with sperm in the IVF clinic and the embryo is closely monitored for its healthy development for the next few days.

  • Fertilisation
  • Embryo development
  • Laboratory monitoring

Week 6 – 7: Embryo Transfer

An embryo that is healthy is chosen and carefully placed in the recipient's uterus with a very simple and minimally painful process. The embryo continues to be helped to implant successfully by hormonal support.

  • Embryo transfer
  • Continued hormonal support

Week 8: Pregnancy Test

A blood pregnancy test is done 10-14 days after the embryo transfer to determine if the embryo has implanted and pregnancy has occurred.

  • Pregnancy blood test
  • Initial pregnancy assessment


What is the average cost of donor egg IVF in India?

The donor egg IVF cost in India generally ranges from ₹2,50,000 to ₹5,50,000 per cycle. However, the exact cost varies based on the individual's treatment plan and medical requirements.


The overall package may include:

  • Initial fertility consultation

  • Donor screening and matching
  • Donor ovarian stimulation
  • Egg retrieval

What is the success rate of donor egg IVF?

Donor egg IVF is one of the most successful fertility treatments, with approximately 50% - 70% available today. Because donor eggs come from young, healthy women with healthy ovarian function, the likelihood of pregnancy is much greater than with conventional IVF for women having poor egg quality.

Several factors in donor egg IVF affect its success, such as:

  • Recipient's Uterine Health
  • Donor Egg Quality
  • Sperm Quality
  • Embryo Quality
  • Laboratory Standards
  • Age and Overall Health
