WHY IS THERE A NEED FOR DONOR EGGS?

Why would a woman need donor eggs:

  • She cannot produce her own eggs
  • She doesn’t have good quality eggs
  • She experiences early menopause, which stops her producing her own eggs
  • Chemo or radiation, due to cancer, have destroyed her eggs
  • She has a hereditary disease that may be passed on to her children, so she would prefer to use healthy donated eggs
  • Her eggs may be “too old” or not good enough to be used
