Women may choose egg donation for a variety of reasons. Some women have tried to become pregnant for years without success, mainly because they do not produce good quality eggs of their own. This often includes women over the age of 40 who have failed other fertility treatment attempts.
Previous chemotherapy, ovarian surgery, premature menopause and absence of ovaries at birth are some of the reasons why ovaries are absent or function poorly. Additionally, some women carry a genetic disorder that they do not want to transmit to a child.
Women may choose to use an anonymous or known oocyte donor.
