The use of donor eggs via assisted reproductive technology occurred in 1983. This was the first time a woman delivered a baby conceived from a donor egg (also known as donor oocyte). Medical advances are providing infertile couples a chance to conceive a child that is genetically related. This treatment offers the opportunity for the donor egg after fertilization to be transferred to the recipient mother or a gestational carrier. This option gives the intended parent or parents a child with a genetic link.

There may be many reasons why a woman chooses to use donor egg:

• Women with advanced maternal age ~ greater than 42 years (up to the age of 50 at our Center).
• Women with premature menopause.
• Women with elevated day 3 FSH levels, rendering incapable of producing multiple eggs for infertility treatments using their own eggs.
• Women who have demonstrated poor embryo quality when using their own eggs for IVF.
• Women who have failed multiple IVF treatments using their own eggs.
• Women whose ovaries have been surgically removed, or have been exposed to radiation or chemotherapy.
• Women who are carriers of genetic disease.

At the Muasher Center, we want you to feel you have some control in this aspect of your cycle. Our staff will select a donor or donors that best suit your physical features. You will be given an opportunity to review baby photographs, a health and social assessment as well as listen to an audio interview with the donor, which will help YOU select a quality match. We continuously screen and accept donors into our program. Due to our high standards, we are dedicated to accepting only the best donors. Our Donor Egg program is anonymous and confidential. Our staff has extensive experience in all aspects of the program.

• Our Endocrine, Embryology and andrology laboratories are directed by one of the world's foremost leaders of Embryology, Jacob F. Mayer, PhD, HCLD. Dr. Mayer is a nationally and internationally recognized authority in his field and has trained many of the embryologists in the US and abroad.
• No extra legal costs.
• We coordinate your care, everything happens at our clinic.
• You get personalized treatment from one doctor and a nursing staff consisting of only registered nurses, from the time of your first consult and throughout your entire cycle.
• You will always be able to reach a live person on business days, should you ever have questions about your donor or your treatment cycle.
• We manage the egg donor's compensation, keeping fees below third party fees, which are paid by the recipient.
• Our donors are regional donors, which eliminates additional out of pocket travel expenses.

The donor egg program is one of the most successful treatments in infertility and in-vitro fertilization. Success rates can be expected to be greater than 60% in terms of clinical pregnancies. The primary reason is that the eggs are collected from young donors (ages 21-32) who are carefully screened and selected in order to assure a safe and successful treatment process.

Our staff manages both sides of donor egg's complex process. This provides for a more intimate and effective communication process throughout a recipient's cycle. This level of involvement by our center ensures a positive experience for our recipients as well as our donors.

You will find a warm and caring environment that will walk you through everything from start to finish. That is our commitment to you. You will see the same faces throughout your cycle. We will always be here to answer your questions. We are here for you.
