Egg donation

Outcome of egg donation

Live birth rates for egg donation is higher than that of IVF alone.

Pregnancy and live birth rates following egg donation are significantly higher compared to that achieved after IVF using the woman' own eggs. Live birth rate in the region of 25-40% per treatment cycle should be expected. There are many factors that affect success rates.

It is important to note that even if a pregnancy does occur, problems can arise such as ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. The likelihood of multiple pregnancy is about 25-30% (usually twins).

Some studies have reported an increased risk of obstetric complications such as miscarriage, diabetes and pre-eclampsia in women who conceived using donor eggs. However,  Liacer and co-workers (ESHRE 2007) reported no such differences when they compared the obstetric outcome in donor egg recipients and women who conceived by IVF using their own eggs.
