Oocyte donation

Abstract: Oocyte donation affords women with ovarian failure, advanced reproductive age, heritable conditions or recurrent implantation failure the ability to conceive. Recipients must be medically screened carefully prior to attempting pregnancy. Egg donors should also be healthy and pose no infectious or genetic risk to the recipient or offspring. Donor and recipient menstrual cycles are synchronized so that embryos are transferred to a receptive endometrium. Donors are prescribed injectible gonadotrophins to achieve … Show more

“…Oocyte donation studies show that aging-related infertility in women can be effectively overcome through the use of oocytes from young adult donors (34,35). Additionally, postmenopausal women can carry pregnancies to term as surrogates with success rates equaling those of younger patients undergoing ART with their own oocytes (36,37).…”

“…There are other potential confounders as well. Although some studies have shown that increased maternal age is not associated with increased reproductive failure among OD recipients (3,4), it would be worth exploring as a potential confounder because of its association with BMI in this study (1). A more subtle potential source of bias is secular time.…”

“…However, pregnancies achieved with donated oocytes are associated with a high incidence of first trimester bleeding and a 2-to 3-fold higher risk of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia when compared with conventional IVF (Serhal and Craft, 1989;Abdalla et al, 1998;Sö derstrom-Anttila et al, 1998;Yaron et al, 1998;Klein and Sauer, 2002;Sheffer-Mimouni et al, 2002;Wiggins and Main 2005;van der Hoorn et al, 2010;Stoop et al, 2012). The incidences of intrauterine growth restriction, preterm birth (PTB) and birth defects have mostly been comparable with conventional IVF (van der Hoorn et al, 2010), although impaired fetal growth in OD pregnancies when compared with conventional IVF has been noted (Gibbons et al, 2011).…”
