Egg donor program
Egg Donation is designed to help women with specific reproductive problems to have a baby. Many of these women have undergone premature ovarian failure, either due to natural cessation of ovarian function, or due to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. In addition, some women have ovaries that cannot be adequately stimulated for In Vitro Fertilization, while other women have transmissible genetic problems, which precludes the use of their own eggs.
Recipient couples meet with
an egg donor coordinator to discuss the donation process and the
characteristics they are searching for in a donor. Egg donor coordinators
search the donor database for matches and provide the couples with donor
profiles containing medical history, family background, and personality
profile. Initial consultations and egg donor selection is also available via
e-mail sarmite.spigule@egv.lv
All our donors are fertile and have at least 1-2 children. The average age is 29. We screen
donors for HIV 1 and 2, syphilis, A, B, C hepatitis and common STD, as well as do the karyotype test . It is also possible to make additional genetic tests
upon recipient’s request. Every donor is examined and given final approval by a
medical doctor.
