Choosing to donate eggs, what are the biggest risks for prospective parents?

The purpose of buying eggs is to get normal embryos that pass PGS. The egg is only a semi-finished product, and the embryo is the goal. The ultimate goal is to successfully give birth to a child. The biggest risk is that in the end, embryos that can be transplanted are not cultivated. This reason is difficult to define. It may be that the number of eggs taken is relatively small, or that the quality of the egg/sperm is poor. Of course, this risk is relatively low. Generally speaking, the success rate of egg donation is the highest. The cost of egg donation plus the cost of an IVF clinic is about $6. The last thing you want to see is the money spent and no embryos.

What if the genetic screening results are abnormal?

The requirements of each clinic are different. Some check the genes of dozens of diseases for egg donors, some check dozens of genes, and the most check more than 280. The more you check, the greater the probability of finding the problem. Like more than 280 items, one or two genes are carried, which is relatively common. Usually these genetic diseases are very rare. If the prospective father does not carry the same disease-causing gene, the child will not get sick in the future, and he can continue to use this donor. Of course, children may carry disease-causing genes in the future. If it happens that the prospective father also carries this disease-causing gene, there is a 1/4 probability that the child will get sick in the future, then it is generally not recommended to use this egg donor. If the donor is carrying a more common single-gene recessive genetic disease, such as thalassemia, usually the clinic will also recommend changing the donor, of course, the final decision of the prospective parents.

Why is the donor's compensation more expensive than experienced?

If you have the previous successful egg retrieval experience, there are a large number of eggs, many embryos, and even embryos have been transferred and successfully conceived, which proves that the donor’s body is very good, and similar results may be obtained if the egg is retrieved again. , Which reduces the risk

Experienced egg donors are familiar with all aspects, and generally do not exit midway. The high degree of cooperation also reduces the risk.
