Donor egg treatment at Kanaa Fertility uses eggs from a screened, regulated donor — combined with your partner’s sperm (or donor sperm) through IVF — for couples whose own eggs are not available or are not likely to lead to a healthy pregnancy. Two clinics in KK Nagar & Mylapore, with in-person & online consultations.

WHAT IS DONOR EGG TREATMENT

Donor Egg — A Path Forward When Your Own Eggs Are Not an Option

A willing, screened donor undergoes ovarian stimulation and egg collection through IVF — and donates those eggs to help you build your family.

Image placeholder — the existing donor/recipient process graphic is reused in Section 7 instead. A dedicated overview illustration for this section is still needed.

This is the process in which a willing egg donor undergoes ovarian stimulation and egg collection — the same procedure used in a standard IVF cycle — and donates those eggs for use in your treatment. It is most often recommended when a woman has no eggs of her own, or a very low ovarian reserve.

You Still Carry the Pregnancy

Only the egg comes from a donor; you carry and give birth to your baby.

DONOR SCREENING

How Are Egg Donors Screened & Selected?

Egg donor screening and eligibility are tightly regulated to protect everyone involved — the donor, you, and your future child.

WHO IS IT FOR

Who Is Donor Egg Treatment Recommended For?

Donor egg treatment is usually considered when a woman has no eggs of her own, or a very poor ovarian reserve — often in situations like:

Primary Ovarian Insufficiency

When the ovaries stop functioning normally at a young age.

Repeated Surgeries for Endometriosis

When previous surgery has significantly reduced ovarian reserve.

Ovaries Removed Due to a Medical Condition

When surgery has removed one or both ovaries.

Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy for Cancer

When cancer treatment has affected egg quality or supply.

Post-Menopausal Women

When natural menopause means eggs are no longer available.

Not sure if it is right for you? A consultation is the clearest way to find out.

THE PROCESS

The Donor Egg Process at Kanaa Fertility

A clear, step-by-step path — every protocol personalised to you.

Donor egg process: recipient endometrial preparation, IVF, embryo transfer, pregnancy test, first ultrasound; donor ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval
1
Donor Matching

Pending legal/compliance review before publishing.

2
Endometrial Preparation

While your donor’s cycle is coordinated, hormone medicine prepares your uterine lining to receive an embryo.

3
Donor Ovarian Stimulation & Egg Retrieval

Your donor undergoes stimulation and egg retrieval, following the same careful process as a standard IVF cycle.

4
Fertilisation

Donor eggs are fertilised in the lab, using your partner’s sperm or donor sperm, depending on your situation.

5
Embryo Culture

Fertilised eggs are monitored as they develop in the lab.

6
Embryo Transfer

A healthy embryo is transferred to your prepared uterus.

7
Pregnancy Test & First Ultrasound

We check in with you, and confirm your pregnancy with a test and early scan.

SUCCESS RATES

Donor Egg Success Rates

Success with donor egg treatment depends on the quality of the donor eggs, your uterine environment, and your individual diagnosis — so no honest clinic can promise a single number for everyone. What we can promise is realistic, transparent guidance based on your own situation, and a clear conversation about your chances before you begin.

FACTORS

Factors That Affect Success

Donor Egg Quality

Screened, younger donors generally provide higher-quality eggs.

Uterine Environment

A receptive, well-prepared uterine lining is essential for implantation.

Sperm Quality

Whether from a partner or donor, sperm quality still affects fertilisation.

Embryo Quality

How well the fertilised egg develops in the lab matters for transfer.

Your Overall Health

General health and any underlying conditions can affect implantation and pregnancy.

Lifestyle

Weight, smoking, alcohol and stress all play a role — and many are within your control.

Your specialist reviews all of these together to give you an honest, personalised picture.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

Own-Egg IVF vs Donor-Egg IVF — What is Right for You?

These are two paths through the same treatment — the right one depends on your ovarian reserve and diagnosis. Your specialist recommends whichever gives you the best realistic chance.

OWN-EGG IVF

Own-Egg IVF

Uses your own eggs, recommended when ovarian reserve and egg quality are sufficient for a good chance of success.

DONOR-EGG IVF

Donor-Egg IVF

Uses eggs from a screened, regulated donor, recommended when your own ovarian reserve is very low, absent, or when there is a significant risk of passing on a genetic condition.

Your specialist will always explain clearly why donor eggs are being recommended, and answer every question you have.

RISKS & SIDE EFFECTS

Risks & Side Effects

Donor egg treatment is safe and well-established — but as the recipient, it is worth understanding clearly what applies to you and what applies to your donor.

Common and usually mild (for you, the recipient)

  • Mild bloating from hormone medication used to prepare your uterine lining
  • Spotting or light bleeding around the time of embryo transfer
  • Tiredness from hormone medicines
  • Mild cramping after transfer

Less common, worth knowing

  • Multiple Pregnancy — If more than one embryo is transferred, there is a higher chance of twins.
  • You Do Not Undergo Egg Retrieval — Risks like Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) relate to your donor’s stimulation process, not yours.
  • Ectopic Pregnancy — A rare risk with any pregnancy, monitored closely with early scans.

This is exactly why we explain each part of the process clearly — what is happening to you, and what is happening with your donor. Please call us any time you are unsure, or if anything does not feel right.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can donate eggs?
Pending legal/compliance review before publishing.
What tests should be performed on a donor before selection?
Donors undergo health screening, genetic testing, and a fertility assessment before being accepted into our registered ART bank. Your specialist can share more detail about our screening protocol.
Is donor egg treatment safe for me, the recipient?
Yes — the part of the process that carries the most physical involvement (ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval) is done by your donor, not you. Your part mainly involves hormone medication to prepare your uterine lining, and the embryo transfer itself.
Will I carry the pregnancy myself?
Yes — with donor egg IVF, you carry and give birth to your baby. Only the egg comes from a donor.
Will my baby be genetically related to me?
Your baby will be genetically related to your partner (if using his sperm) and to the egg donor, but not genetically related to you. This is worth discussing openly with your specialist.
Can we know anything about our egg donor?
Pending legal/compliance review before publishing.
How many embryos are typically transferred?
This is decided with your specialist, balancing the best chance of success with a healthy pregnancy.
What is the success rate with donor eggs?
Success depends on donor egg quality, your uterine environment, and your individual diagnosis — your specialist will walk you through a realistic estimate.
How much does donor egg treatment cost in Chennai?
Cost varies based on your individual protocol. Please contact us for a personalised estimate.
Is donor egg treatment legal in India?
Pending legal/compliance review before publishing.
