The Donor Oocyte Program offers women who are unable to use their own eggs (due to age, poor ovarian reserve, or medical conditions) the opportunity to achieve pregnancy using eggs from a donor. The program provides a solution for women who are experiencing premature ovarian failure, age-related infertility, or those who have failed IVF cycles due to poor egg quality. The donor’s eggs are fertilized with the male partner's sperm (or donor sperm) and implanted in the woman’s uterus.
In this program, a woman (the recipient) receives donor eggs, which are fertilized with sperm in the laboratory through IVF. The fertilized embryos are then cultured and selected for transfer into the recipient’s uterus. The donor is typically a healthy woman under the age of 35 who undergoes ovarian stimulation to retrieve eggs.

Success rates for donor oocyte IVF are generally higher than traditional IVF, as the donor eggs are typically from younger, healthy women. Success rates can range from 45% to 60% per cycle, depending on the age and health of the donor and recipient.
