What is the Donor Egg Programme?

The donor egg programme is a supportive path for women who need healthy donor eggs to conceive. It is beneficial for women who are unable to use their own eggs for IVF. It is a safe, well-established treatment in which carefully screened donor eggs are used to help you achieve a healthy pregnancy.

Under the guidance of Dr Manmeet Batra — a gynaecologist and IVF Specialist — the entire journey is handled with compassion, transparency, and medical precision.

When Does Your IVF Doctor Recommend Donor Eggs

Donor eggs are usually recommended when your own eggs may not lead to a healthy pregnancy. Such cases include:

  • Have low ovarian reserve or poor egg quality.
  • Are above 40 and facing an age-related decline in fertility.
  • Have a genetic condition that could be passed to your baby.
  • Have had repeated IVF failures due to egg-related factors.
  • Have undergone ovarian surgery or cancer treatment impacting egg function.

 

How the Donor Egg Process Works

1. Donor Selection & Screening

Egg donors are thoroughly screened for medical history, fertility health, infections (including HIV, Hepatitis B/C), and genetic risks. Only healthy, qualified donors are included.
You may choose an anonymous or known donor based on your comfort and clinical needs.

 

2. Synchronising Your Cycle

Your menstrual cycle is prepared using medication so the embryo can be transferred at the right time. Dr Manmeet Batra monitors your endometrial lining closely to ensure the best conditions for implantation.

 

3. Fertilisation & Embryo Development

The donor eggs are fertilised using your partner’s sperm (or donor sperm if needed).
The embryos are cultured in a controlled embryology lab using modern techniques such as:

  • ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
  • Blastocyst culture
  • Embryo grading

 

4. Embryo Transfer

A healthy embryo is gently placed into your uterus through a painless, short procedure.
Most women find this step smooth and comfortable.

 

5. Pregnancy Support

After transfer, you receive supportive medications and follow-up visits to ensure implantation and early pregnancy progress
