Egg Donation Greece

Egg (or embryo) donation for IVF fertility treatments, is indicated for women who, for various reasons, do not produce eggs. In these cases, it has been proven that egg / embryo donation is a very effective procedure in a wide range of problems. The indications for egg donation or embryo donation include the following conditions:

• Gonad dysgenesia, carrying an inheritable genetic disorder such as muscular Dystrophy or haemophilia. Such diseases can be passed on to their children. Rather than risk giving birth to a child who might suffer greatly and die at an early age, some women choose to have a chance of a perfectly healthy child via egg donation.
• Surgical procedures to / removal or absence of ovaries (ovarian damage following surgery, radiation or chemotherapy)
• Women born without or with under-developed ovaries (e.g. Turner’s syndrome).
• Poor response to ovarian stimulation
• Failure of multiple attempts of assisted reproduction methods (IVF, ICSI)
• Early menopause. This, however, occurs much earlier to some women, even in their teens or early twenties, before they would even have contemplated starting a family. This condition is called premature ovarian failure or premature menopause.
• Patient aged above 45 (menopause). After the menopause a woman is no longer capable of conceiving because her ovaries stop producing eggs and sex hormones.
