Donor Egg Program
The physicians of the Washington Fertility Center were involved
in the first successful egg donation cycle resulting in the
birth of a baby, in the Washington DC area. Since that time,
they have continued to successfully develop their program
into a premier fertility center, including a private network
of egg donors. Over 150 egg donors*
are currently available from most ethnic groups.
Egg donation is a treatment option for women unable to produce
their own eggs.
Some of the reasons for ovarian failure include:
-
Decreased
Ovarian Reserve due to premature menopause
-
Previous
ovarian surgery
-
Previous
radiation or chemotherapy
-
Chromosomal
or genetic disorders
-
History
of poor or inadequate response to fertility drugs
Additional
information about the WFC Donor Program:
-
It
is important to the team at the WFC to treat each woman,
whether recipient or donor, with the time necessary to
provide individualized care. The egg donation process
is quite complicated, and we are always available for
any assistance or support while participating in the program.
-
WFC
specializes in recruiting donors of multi-ethnic and
cultural
backgrounds. We currently have over 150 healthy, young
women from most ethnic groups. They have been carefully
recruited and thoroughly screened by our Center and
additional
local and national agencies. All donors undergo complete
medical, genetic and psychological evaluations.
-
The
program is anonymous, although WFC also works with known
donor cycles.
-
Once
the pre-screening work-up is completed the process takes
approximately six weeks to go through an actual cycle.
-
Our
Donor Egg Coordinator is available for free consultations,
to answer your questions about the donor process at WFC.
