Why use an egg donor

The main causes that lead women to opt for egg donation treatment in order to become mother are the following: Advanced maternal age over the years, the number and quality of eggs decreases. After the age of 35, it is more common for eggs to begin to accumulate mutations, which compromises the viability of embryos or can even lead to repeated miscarriages. Low or no ovarian function due to primary ovarian failure, premature ovarian failure, menopause, or ovarian surgery. Genetic mutations in cases of hereditary genetic disease that can be transmitted to the offspring and that cannot be detected by preimplantation genetic diagnosis. Repeated IVF failures with own eggs, low response to ovarian stimulation, poor egg and/or embryo quality (as in the case of patients with endometriosis), fertilization and/or implantation failure or repeated miscarriages are the main reasons why pregnancy may not be achieved in IVF treatment.
