EMBRYO DONATION

Who is Embryo Donation For?

Embryo donation is a life-changing option for couples facing significant challenges in achieving pregnancy with their own eggs and sperm. This treatment is ideal for you if:

You and your partner are dealing with combined infertility, such as low egg quality and male azoospermia (absence of viable sperm).

You and your partner have experienced repeated IVF failures with their own gametes.

You are a couple with genetic issues where other methods, like preimplantation genetic testing, fail to produce healthy embryos.

You are a woman with premature ovarian failure, low-quality eggs, or no ovaries.

You are a couple at risk of transmitting a serious hereditary illness.

You and your partner prefer donor embryos over donor sperm or eggs for various reasons.

Up to 70% Proven Success Rate

With a success rate of up to 70%, embryo donation offers real hope if you have struggled to conceive. While not every cycle may result in pregnancy, we work with transparency and dedication to adjust treatments and explore alternative approaches when necessary. We have helped up to 90% of couples achieve their dream of becoming parents.

The Embryo Donation Process

The process of embryo donation is seamless and designed with your convenience in mind:

1. Embryo Creation and Freezing:

Donated eggs and sperm are combined in our lab to create embryos, which are then frozen for later use.

2. Hormonal Preparation:

The recipient undergoes hormonal preparation to optimize the uterus for implantation.

3. Embryo Transfer:

Around the 20th day of your cycle, the embryo is carefully thawed and transferred to your uterus using a thin, flexible catheter. The procedure is painless and does not require anesthesia.

4. Post-Transfer Care:

Medications are taken at home to support implantation and early pregnancy. A pregnancy test is done two weeks later to determine the outcome.

Timeline and Visits

Initial Consultation:

Online or in person (optional). This includes a gynecological examination, ultrasound, and blood tests for you and your partner.

Embryo Transfer:

Typically scheduled during a second visit, lasting 1–2 nights in Prague.

Who Are the Donors?

We work with anonymous, rigorously screened donors under 35 years old to ensure the highest quality embryos. Donors undergo extensive genetic and health testing, including:

• Test for cystic fibrosis
• Sexual health screening to avoid any risk of AIDS, hepatitis B, hepatitis C

Genetic examination:

• Karyogram (Structural analysis of the chromosomes)

Screening of autosomal recessive gene mutations:

• CFTR (cystic fibrosis),
• SMN1 (gene mutation for spinal muscle atrophy)
• GJB2 (inherited hearing loss)

Requirements for the Couple

Treatment is available to heterosexual couples with a female partner under 48 years of age. Due to local legislation, single women and same-sex couples cannot be treated.
