Unofficial statistics indicate that every 5th marriage in Ukraine is unfruitful. Every day, hundreds of families are forced to seek medical help for solving their problems with natural conception.

In many cases, infertility is associated with the lack of eggs in women or in their poor quality. In such a situation, only the use of donor’s genetic material allows conceiving and giving birth to a long-awaited baby. By participating in a donor program, the family gets a chance to have an offspring genetically related with at least one parent and to fully enjoy the fatherhood and motherhood.

How Is Donating Eggs Related to Infertility Treatment?

• Synchronization of donor’s and recipient’s menstrual cycles;
• Stimulation of the ovulation in the oocyte donor with the help of medications;
• Obtaining the eggs by an ovarian puncture;

How Is the Donation Process Performed?

The procedure for collecting eggs takes about 10-15 minutes, and it is carried out in a manipulation room under general anaesthesia. IVF specialists extract mature eggs from the ovaries by inserting a thin needle through the wall of the vagina directly into the follicles, while controlling this process via the screen of an ultrasound machine. The needle has a slightly larger diameter than a needle for collecting blood from a vein. After the eggs donation process, the donor will have to rest for several hours in a special room. Then she can receive payment for her services and go home.

How Much Is a Donation Fee?

Before starting the program, an agreement is made with a donor. Donors with a Rh-positive blood factor are paid $500, and donors with a Rh-negative blood factor get $700 on the day of the eggs puncturing, regardless of their number and quality.
