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
Counselling
A dedicated session on the medical, emotional and legal aspects before you decide.
Donor matching
Donors are screened as required by the ART Act — age, infectious disease, genetic carrier status and psychological assessment.
Recipient preparation
Your endometrium is prepared with oestrogen and progesterone while the donor is stimulated.
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.
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.

Areas we see patients from
Both clinics are in South Delhi. Patients travelling from further out have appointments grouped to cut down the number of trips.
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.
