Availability of egg donors

We currently have ovum donors available that are interested in donating eggs to infertile couples. We do not currently have a waiting list for couples needing egg donors.

Success rates with donor eggs

Success rates for IVF using donor eggs varies considerably depending on several variables including the age of the donor, her egg quantity and quality, the number of embryos transferred, the quality of the recipient's uterine lining, and the particular IVF center handling the case. Pregnancy rates are generally as high, or higher than that seen with the use of eggs from very young (under 32) infertile women.

The table below is from the 2003 ART Success Rates report published by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) in Atlanta Georgia. 

This report was generated from national data from hundreds of clinics and many thousands of IVF cycles. It is not data from our center (although we are included in it). It shows the rate of live births per embryo transfer procedure by the age of the recipient of the embryos. The line connecting the white boxes shows data using the infertile woman's eggs, while the line through the dark boxes shows data from donor egg IVF cycles.

This chart is very useful in illustrating the decline in live birth rates by female age beginning at about age 31. This decline becomes somewhat more dramatic each year starting at about age 37. In vitro fertilization with own eggs rarely results in a live birth if the female is 43 or older.

An important point that is illustrated here is that there is basically no decline in live birth rates by age of recipient when donor eggs are being used. In other words, the age of the eggs is very important, but the age of the uterus is not.

The national summary (as well as clinic specific results) of IVF cycles done in the years 1995-2005 are posted on the CDC's website. Links are available on our IVF success rates page.

Some programs, including ours, have delivery rates of 60% or higher per embryo transfer procedure for egg donation cases.
