Donor Egg IVF in Delhi

IVF using eggs from a screened, anonymous donor when your own eggs are no longer viable.

What donor egg IVF involves

Donor egg treatment is recommended when ovarian reserve is exhausted, after premature ovarian insufficiency, after repeated cycles producing no viable embryos, or where there is a genetic condition that would be passed on. Pregnancy rates depend on the donor's age, which is why they are considerably higher than own-egg cycles at the same maternal age.

This is an emotionally difficult recommendation to receive, and we never make it casually. It comes only after the evidence is clear, and always with time and counselling before any decision.

Who this is for

  • Premature ovarian insufficiency or early menopause
  • Very low ovarian reserve with repeated cycle cancellation
  • Advanced maternal age with no viable embryos over several attempts
  • Known heritable genetic disease in the female partner

Not everything on this list means you need this treatment. The workup comes first, and the recommendation follows from what it shows — not from what was booked before you arrived.

Step by step

  1. Counselling

    A dedicated session on the medical, emotional and legal aspects before you decide.

  2. Donor matching

    Donors are screened as required by the ART Act — age, infectious disease, genetic carrier status and psychological assessment.

  3. Recipient preparation

    Your endometrium is prepared with oestrogen and progesterone while the donor is stimulated.

  4. Fertilisation and transfer

    Donor eggs are fertilised with your partner's sperm and a single blastocyst is transferred.

Your results, in writing

Whatever the outcome of donor egg IVF, you leave each stage with the findings written down — what was done, what was found, what it means, and what the options are from here. Reports are issued the same day wherever the laboratory allows it.

Case study: The conversation nobody wants, arrived at honestly

43, Defence Colony · four own-egg IVF cycles · no viable embryos

What she came in with

Four stimulated cycles over two years at two different centres. Eggs were collected each time — between two and five — but no cycle had ever produced a blastocyst worth transferring. Each centre had suggested trying again.

What the workup showed

AMH 0.3 ng/ml, antral follicle count four. Reviewing all four cycle records showed a consistent pattern: eggs collected, fertilisation achieved, and arrest by day three every single time. At 43, aneuploidy rates in her own eggs would be above 80%.

What we did

We did not recommend a fifth cycle. Instead, a full counselling session on donor eggs, with time to go away and think, and an honest statement of the numbers on both paths.

Outcome

After two months they proceeded with a donor egg cycle through a registered ART bank. A single blastocyst transfer produced an ongoing pregnancy.

The point of this case

A fifth own-egg cycle would have been easy to sell and very unlikely to work. Saying so cost us a cycle's revenue and saved them a year.

Illustrative case. This is a composite of presentations commonly seen in this practice, written for explanation — it is not the record of an identifiable patient, and no individual's details are used. Outcomes vary, and nothing here is a prediction of what will happen in your case.

What is different about having this done here

Full compliance with the ART (Regulation) Act and its donor provisions

Rigorous donor screening including genetic carrier testing

Counselling built into the pathway, not offered as an afterthought

Higher success rates than own-egg cycles at the same maternal age

Treated by the consultant, not by a rotating team

Dr. Tiwari performs the scans, the procedure and the follow-up herself, and looks after any pregnancy that results. Over a long treatment course that continuity is the difference between being known and being processed.

Questions about donor egg IVF

What are the success rates with donor eggs?

Generally 55–65% clinical pregnancy per blastocyst transfer, largely independent of the recipient's age, because the eggs come from a young donor.

Can we choose the donor?

Indian law requires donor anonymity. Matching is done on physical characteristics and blood group, arranged through a registered ART bank.

Will the baby be genetically mine?

The baby will carry your partner's genes and the donor's. You will carry the pregnancy and give birth. This is exactly the conversation counselling exists for.
