Embryo Donor Program
The embryo donor program of AdBaby IVF Centre is for those who have medical infertility for both the male and the female partner. Your choice to use donated embryos is extremely important.
For this particular reason, we aim to provide you with as much information as you need. Our fertility nurses are always on hand to answer any queries that you may wish to make concerning our Embryo Donor Program.
Donated embryos should be used when both partners are infertile and cannot be treated. They can also be considered if one partner is infertile and cannot be treated, and the other partner has donated embryos. Note that donated embryos may be used in cases where several miscarriages are suspected to be caused by the embryo. Additionally, they are a good option when at least one partner has a genetic disease or even an abnormality.
Individuals and couples belonging from different ethnic, cultural as well as religious backgrounds can become embryo donors. Different heights, shapes, and sizes, as long as they meet these prerequisites are accepted:
- The embryo donor must be 23-35 and the sperm donor must be 21-55 with at least one child (minimum 3 years old).
- Donors must be in good health. There must be no history of hereditary disease. Donors will not at all be accepted if they suffer from an illness, disease or genetic condition that poses an unacceptable risk of being passed on to any child conceived from the donation.
- Clinic recruited donors must have a permanent address and also be easily contactable for follow-up screening. They must be able to provide three identifiers and proof of a permanent address, e.g. driver’s licence, photo ID, and passport.
Types of embryo donors
There are two main types of embryo donation.
Happy Couples
This is where the donor and recipient personally know each other and there is an existing relationship between them.
Clinic-recruited donation
In the case of a clinic-recruited donation, the recipient does not know the donor, and the donor’s identity may remain unknown to the recipient.
