Who Needs Donor Eggs?

There are 3 broad groups of women who will need donor eggs

• Women who are menopausal and no longer have any functional eggs, irrespective of their age. (Natural menopause or premature menopause or resistant ovary syndrome)
• Women who still have eggs but despite many attempts at treatment including IVF and ICSI have never been successful and have never had a live birth (poor responders, failed fertilisations, unexplained failed implantations, "poor egg quality")
• Women who have their own eggs but do not wish to use them for fear of transmitting serious genetic disease to their offspring
