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
