Donor program

We provide the treatment not only to couples from the Czech Republic, but also from Europe as well as other continents, which proves the quality of our services.

As soon as we have all examinations and the suitable donor ready, it is necessary to synchronize the menstrual cycles of the egg donor and egg recipient and then apply hormone stimulating drugs.
egg collection
and fertilization
The day of egg collection of the donor is determined according to your treatment plan. The partner must provide a sperm sample for egg fertilization on the same day. In some cases it is possible to use frozen sperm or donor sperm as well. Fertilized eggs will be cultivated for 1-5 days.
embryo
transfer
Suitable embryos for transfer are selected during cultivation. Those are embryos that developed correctly and therefore have the best chances to settle down in the uterus and develop further. When there are multiple suitable embryos, it is possible to freeze them for possible future cycles. Transfer of the embryo in the uterus takes place without anesthesia and you can leave the clinic about 15 minutes later.

Pregnancy test can be taken at the earliest 14 days after embryo transfer and it should always be a blood test. Blood test is 100% reliable.

Pregnancy is confirmed with ultrasound examination about 2-3 weeks after the positive result of the pregnancy test.
Treatment with donor sperm:
Egg of the recipient and donated sperm is used in this type of treatment. The resulting embryo is then inserted in the uterus of the recipient. Although no gametes of the partner are used, it is always necessary to have his written approval of the treatment.
