The eligibility criteria for recipients of egg donation can
also vary depending on the country and fertility clinic. However, there are
some general considerations regarding potential recipients. Please note that
these criteria are not exhaustive, and it's important to consult with a medical
professional or fertility clinic for specific guidelines and regulations in
your area. Here are some factors that may affect eligibility for egg donation
recipients:
Infertility: Egg donation is often considered for
individuals or couples who are unable to conceive using their own eggs due to
factors such as advanced maternal age, diminished ovarian reserve, or certain
medical conditions.
Same-sex male couples: Same-sex male couples who desire to
have a child may opt for egg donation in order to have a biological child. In
this case, a gestational surrogate would also be required to carry the
pregnancy.
Genetic disorders: Some individuals or couples may choose
egg donation to avoid passing on certain genetic disorders or conditions that
could be inherited.
Previous unsuccessful fertility treatments: Individuals or
couples who have undergone multiple unsuccessful fertility treatments using
their own eggs may explore the option of egg donation.
Premature menopause or surgical removal of ovaries: Women
who have experienced premature menopause or have had their ovaries surgically
removed may consider egg donation to achieve pregnancy.
It's important to remember that the eligibility criteria for
egg donation recipients can vary, and it's best to consult with a fertility
specialist or a reputable fertility clinic to understand the specific
guidelines and requirements in your situation.
