There is not a full and happy family without children. According to statistics up to 15 percent of people suffer from different forms of both male and female infertility. Many clinics offer there own services for treating infertility.

But, how do you distinguish a good center with sophisticated equipment and qualified doctors form a new clinic with poor service and dubious doctors. The way to do this is to find out everything about the center's services and to examine the advice of other people who used their professional services.

If all the attempts to treat the infertility have failed, then a patient can resort to donor program services. Today, there are many programs offered. One of them is the donation of eggs and sperm, which are female gamete cells and male gamete cells. One of the most famous and most used donor program services is extracorporeal fertilization, when the donor eggs are fertilized outside the woman's body and later a produced embryo is transferred into the receipt's uterus.

Recruiting new egg donors isn't an easy task. The couple can choose their own donor from the family and friends. But, in many cases, the donors are anonymous and are appointed according to the donor program services. The donor must be a healthy woman between the ages of 20 to 35 who is ready to give her eggs to a recipient for a small fee.

They must undergo many medical observations and pass a number of difficult tests including, a test of their general state of health, physical and psychological tests, genetic examinations, and tests for infectious and venereal diseases. They receive special donors instructions and after have passed all of the tests successfully; they begin to prepare for the egg recovery procedure.

The most important thing at the stage is to stimulate the donor ovaries to produce multiple oocydes because it will increase the chances of having healthy embryos and a pregnancy will occur. Special hormones are used for this purpose. Eggs are removed from the donor body in different ways. The most widespread method is sonographic egg recovery, where the guidance of ultrasound is used to retrieve oocydes. A special ultrasound is placed into the vagina and the guided needle takes the fluid with the eggs from the ovaries. In a laboratory environment, the eggs are prepared for insemination. Usually, the fertilization process takes place outside the woman's body, and that's why this method is called extracorporeal fertilization. Once embryos appeared and are developed well, they are transferred to the recipient's body.

The problem of using donor eggs for fertilizations is discussed worldwide. Some countries prohibit the donor program services. In Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy, the donation of oocydes are totally forbidden.
The United Kingdom, France, Denmark and Spain prohibit to using the donor eggs of close family and friends.

Russia is one of the countries that have no restrictions on these programs. In our time, people who have babies but for some reason they failed, they have the chance to use cells that are not theirs to give birth.
