Donor embryo treatment at Kanaa Fertility is created specifically for you — combining eggs from a screened egg donor with sperm from a screened sperm donor through a dedicated IVF cycle — for couples where fertility factors on both sides mean using your own eggs and sperm is not likely to succeed. Two clinics in KK Nagar & Mylapore, with in-person & online consultations.

WHAT IS DONOR EMBRYO TREATMENT

Donor Embryo — Purpose-Created, Not Reassigned

When fertility factors affect both partners, donor embryo treatment offers a path forward — built specifically for you from two screened donors.

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

Donor embryo treatment may be recommended when fertility factors affect both partners — where neither the eggs nor the sperm of the couple are likely to lead to a healthy pregnancy.

WHO IS IT FOR

Who Is Donor Embryo Treatment Recommended For?

Donor embryo treatment is usually considered when fertility factors affect both partners — often in situations like:

Combined Female & Male Infertility

When neither partner’s eggs nor sperm are likely to lead to a healthy pregnancy.

Genetic Risk on Both Sides

When there is a significant risk of passing on a hereditary condition from both partners.

Previous Failed Treatment with Own Gametes

When previous IVF/ICSI cycles using both partners’ own eggs and sperm have not been successful.

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

SUCCESS RATES

Donor Embryo Success Rates

Success with donor embryo treatment depends on the quality of the donor eggs and sperm, 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 & Sperm Quality

Screened, healthy donors generally improve the chances of a good outcome.

Uterine Environment

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

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

Donor Egg vs Donor Sperm vs Donor Embryo — What is Right for You?

How much donor support you need depends on which partner’s eggs or sperm are not likely to lead to a healthy pregnancy. Your specialist recommends whichever gives you the best realistic chance.

DONOR EGG

Donor Egg

Uses a donor egg with your partner’s sperm. Recommended when only the egg side needs a donor.

DONOR SPERM

Donor Sperm

Uses your own egg with donor sperm. Recommended when only the sperm side needs a donor.

DONOR EMBRYO

Donor Embryo

Uses both a donor egg and donor sperm. Recommended when neither partner’s eggs nor sperm are likely to lead to a healthy pregnancy.

Your specialist will always explain clearly which path applies to you, and why.

RISKS & SIDE EFFECTS

Risks & Side Effects

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

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 — Ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval are your egg donor’s 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 donors. Please call us any time you are unsure, or if anything does not feel right.
