Donor eggs are an increasingly common fertility treatment option. The most common reasons why patients choose donor eggs are:

 

  • advancing reproductive age
  • low ovarian reserve
  • previous unsuccessful IVF attempts
  • early menopause
  • LGBTQIA+ families
  • the female partner carries a genetic problem she does not want to pass on
  • women age 45 and older who are not eligible for IVF with their own eggs
