Some people name the In Vitro Fertilization process as a new fangled type of conception, as well as a "the new technique of reproduction". The process of the In Vitro Fertilization requires the hard work of a great number of specialists and special medical facilities, but unfortunately there are no guarantees that the result will be positive for pregnancy or the child born will not have any problems with the health.
Many families who for different reasons have problems with conceiving may apply for In Vitro Fertilization procedure. There is a variety of types with or without donor egg or semen and even with the help of surrogate mothers. Women with some problems in producing healthy egg (oocytes) may become pregnant with the donor egg after the egg recovery process.
The donor must be a healthy woman between the age approximately of 20 and 35. The families have the right to choose their own donor. It can be an anonymous person or somebody of their relatives or acquaintances.
For increasing the chances of retrieving several mature and healthy eggs, all the candidates must undergo a medical examination and pass numerous tests: the general state of health, physical tests, psychological evaluation, genetic examination, and of course, tests for infectious and venereal diseases.
With the help of ultrasound guidance and blood tests the physicians determine how the eggs develop. Before egg recovery they give an injection of hormonal in order to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs. When the oocytes become mature and ready for the process of fertilization they can be retrieved. The procedure is performed without surgery.
The egg recovery process is performed with the help of ultrasound facilities and is called sonographic egg recovery. The physician put a special ultrasound probe into the vagina and a special guided needle takes the egg from the ovaries. The picture is screened on the monitor. The egg recovery procedure is absolutely painless and will be completed within less than one hour. The fluid removed from the ovaries will be tested under a microscope for eggs presence.
After the eggs recovery, the oocytes are fertilized in the laboratory conditions in a special fluid media. If the development of the new appeared embryo is going well, after a couple of days it will be transferred in the uterus of the recipient and the pregnancy will be going on as in the normal case, but of course under medical observation. Sometimes it can be reasonable to transfer more than one embryo at once, but the practice shows that this may increase the change for pregnancy and a multiple birth may occur as well.
Hormone medications are continued for supporting the pregnancy.
According to the statistics, a lot of women who did their best for becoming pregnant but failed in the absence of oocytes due to different reasons used the donor eggs and the results were perfect. Currently the development of science helps women suffering from such problems and gives them the hope for having a happy family and healthy welcome children. The internet has a list of individuals who will be glad to donate eggs.
