Egg Donor Program
Egg Donation is designed to assist women, who have specific reproductive problems, to have a baby. Many of these women have undergone premature ovarian failure, either due to natural cessation of ovarian function, or due to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. In addition, some women have ovaries that cannot be adequately stimulated for In Vitro Fertilization, while other women have transmissible genetic problems, which precludes the use of their own eggs.
The Fertility & IVF Center of Miami introduced the first Egg Donation program, in South Florida, in 1992. Since then, the Center has maintained excellent pregnancy results, and through continued recruitment efforts, has available a wide variety of donors, reflecting the cultural and ethnic diversity for which Miami is known. Our specially trained nurses are sensitive to the issues involved with Egg Donation and will guide the recipient couple through the selection process, with sensitivity and discretion.
During the donation process recipient couples complete testing for infectious diseases, genetic screening, and other diagnostic testing. Couples also consult with a psychologist familiar with issues relating to egg donation and assisted reproductive technologies.
Recipient couples meet with an egg donor coordinator to discuss the donation process and the characteristics they are searching for in a donor. Egg donor coordinators search the donor database for matches and provide the couples with donor profiles containing medical history, family background, and personality profile.
