Egg Donor Program at Blastocyst Center (卵子提供 タイ) is available to help intended parents from all over the world to find the right donor and to provide the IVF-treatment at our own clinic. This all-in-one service will eliminate hidden costs. In Thailand, egg donor programs are readily available to women up the age of 55 and are very economical with less complicated clinical practice policy.
The success rates of our egg donor program average 72%, which compares very favorably with other programs anywhere in the world. Besides, you can have all the process done in a very short space of time - often as little as 6 weeks.
The Egg Donation Process
The egg donor "donates" her eggs by having them retrieved, as described below. The technique of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) is then used to unite the eggs with the intended father's sperm. One or more of the resulting normal embryo(s), formed in the laboratory, are then transferred to the recipient uterus for continued growth and development.
Egg donation in the IVF process is accomplished on an outpatient basis and occurs in the following phases: Hormonal Stimulation
On day 2 of menstruation, the donor will be given injection of fertility hormones to stimulate her ovaries to produce more number of eggs. The injection will continue daily for about 10 -14 days. The development of the egg is monitored by blood test and sonogram. Donor Egg Retrieval
Egg retrieval is accomplished non-surgically using a vaginal ultrasound probe to guide a needle into the ovaries. The procedure is performed with just simple intravenous sedation. As a result, the experience is not painful and the recovery is rapid. Once the aspiration is complete the donor is required to remain in the recovery room for 1 to 2 hours. In Vitro Fertilization
All viable eggs produced in a single donor cycle are fertilized with your partner's sperm, and will be cultured for 5 days until the embryo reach the Blastocyst stage. At this stage, the embryo has developed two different cell types and a central cavity. The surface cells, called the trophectoderm, will become the placenta, and the inner cells, called the inner cell mass, will become the fetus. A healthy blastocyst should begin hatching from its outer shell, called the zona pellucida by the end of the sixth day. Within about 24 hours after hatching, it should begin to implant into the lining of the mother's uterus.
The ultimate goal of Blastocyst culture and transfer is to provide high quality embryos which are capable of continued normal development, ready to implant and result in live births.
Blastocyst culture and transfer is the most advance in the ART technique. Traditionally, IVF technique, embryos have been transferred to the uterus on the second or third day of development after in vitro fertilization and initial embryonic cell division.
Embryo Transfer
Your menstruation cycle will be coordinated with the donor cycle to obtain a fresh embryo transfer. Synchronization of cycles includes using a series of medications to facilitate a hospitable uterine environment for transfer of embryos.
The embryos are transferred via a thin plastic tube through the cervix into the uterine cavity. They are then deposited in the upper part of the uterus and the catheter is withdrawn. This is generally a painless procedure and the patient remains immobile for 2 hours. As implantation will occur in the following 2 or 3 days, the patients is instructed to rest during this time after the transfer. Light activities allowed without stress and most sleep well at night.
All embryos belong to you. If there are more embryos than required for your transfer you can store your extra embryos using Cryopreservation. Cryopreserved embryos can be used for subsequent attempts at pregnancy whether or not your fresh transfer is successful.
In general, any woman with a medical or genetic indication for using an egg donor can be a recipient, as long as there are no medical contraindications to pregnancy.
If a male problem also exists, donor egg IVF with ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection into the eggs) is also available. Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) can be used with ICSI if the male partner has had a vasectomy and wishes to avoid surgical reconstruction, or if there are other complications as absence of sperm in the ejaculate. Pregnancy Test
14 days after the embryo transfer you will have a serum (blood) pregnancy test. This can be performed at our clinic if you remain in Thailand or with your local doctor when you return home. It is important to rest and relax for two days after the transfer but after that you can travel home. You will continue with both oral and vaginal progesterone and oral estrogen until the pregnancy test. If the pregnancy test is negative you will discontinue all medications and will probably begin a period within the next week. If the pregnancy test is positive you will need to continue the estrogen and progesterone for another 12 weeks. Egg Donors
We offer you donors which match your individual requirements and are ready to start treatment at any time. We have a pool of over 200 pre-screened Asian donors available such as Thai, Chinese Vietnamese, and Japanese. However, if we do not have a donor in our program who meets your needs, our donor service will help you find an egg donor from egg bank providers. This means you can plan your treatment, travel dates and pregnancy around a schedule which suits you.
Our donors are mostly from Thai backgrounds and are all:-
• Young (20-30 yrs)
• Healthy
• Fertile
• Intellectual
• Highly educated mostly university students or graduates
• Fully screened for infectious diseases and chromosomal disorders.
