There is an ongoing need for donor eggs
Why do some women need donor eggs?
Children are the happiness and meaning of life for most families. Through no fault of their own, some people are not able to conceive the child they wish for without outside assistance. Some 15–20% of couples at a fertile age will experience unintended infertility at some stage of their life. Luckily, most of them could be helped with fertility treatments. And thats why egg donation is so important.
There are numerous reasons why patients need donor eggs. Just a few of them are:
- Impaired ovarian function or declined reserve
- Continuous unsuccessful IVF processes due to low quality mature egg cells
- Risk for a child to inherit a genetic disease
- Chemotherapy
Whatever the reason why someone needs or chooses to use an egg donor, they are extremely appreciative of the young woman or women who helped them build their family. It truly is an incredible gift to another person or couple.
What is egg donation?
Egg donation is a form of fertility treatment in which a donor anonymously gives her eggs to an infertile woman to help her create a family of her own.
Who can apply?
Healthy women aged 20–33 years are the most welcomed to donate eggs. Having your own children is preferred, but also women without children may donate. Egg donors undergo psychological and medical screening, which includes a thorough medical history, physical exam, and ovarian reserve assessment.
Donating eggs in Estonia
In Estonia, the donation of eggs and sperm is legally controlled by the Artificial Insemination and Embryo Protection Act which entered into force in 1997. Donating cells does not require you to become a parent of the child or give you any entitlement to it. The eggs obtained from one donor may be used in order to conceive babies to be born to up to 6 different women in Estonia. The donor may not know who received their cells, and the parents of the children resulting from the treatment are not entitled to learn the identity of the donor.
