Evaluating the recipient's couple
The doctor will review the medical and family history and perform a general and internal examination. In addition, the doctor will outline the treatment and the procedures involved. A semen analysis may be requested.
Currently freezing eggs is impractical, therefore all potential recipient couples should be offered the options of freezing and quarantining embryos derived from donor eggs for six months, with release after the donor has been retested taking into account that frozen embryos may have a lower success rate. Alternatively, they may be offered fresh embryo transfer.
