What we do
What is Donor Egg IVF?
Donor egg IVF is a fertility treatment in which eggs from a donor are fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are monitored, and an embryo may be transferred to the recipient’s uterus when the clinical team considers the timing appropriate.
The donor’s egg collection and the recipient’s endometrium preparation are coordinated according to the treatment plan. The exact schedule, medicines and transfer timing vary for each patient.
- Individual assessment and counselling before treatment
- Donor screening and eligibility checks under applicable requirements
- Monitoring of the recipient's uterine lining
- Embryo development assessment and a personalised transfer plan

Which couples may consider Donor Egg IVF?
Donor egg IVF may be discussed after a fertility specialist reviews the couple’s medical history, test results and previous treatment.
Reduced ovarian reserve
When the number of available eggs is low and the specialist considers donor eggs among the options.
Egg quality concerns
When egg-related factors may be affecting treatment outcomes, after appropriate assessment.
Previous IVF outcomes
For some patients, donor eggs may be discussed after reviewing previous treatment and other relevant factors.
Medical or genetic factors
In selected circumstances where a specialist advises that donor eggs may be an appropriate option.
Repeated egg-related concerns
When further assessment suggests that egg-related factors need to be considered in the treatment plan.
Individual circumstances
Eligibility depends on medical needs, informed consent, local regulations and the treating team's assessment.
Step by step
What is the Donor Egg IVF process?
The process is similar to IVF but includes coordinating the donor’s egg collection with preparation of the recipient’s uterine lining.
Consultation & planning
The fertility team reviews reports, discusses options and explains consent, screening and treatment timing.
Endometrium preparation
The recipient's uterine lining is monitored and prepared with medication according to the specialist's protocol.
Donor stimulation & collection
The donor receives monitored stimulation medication. Eggs are collected when the clinical team determines the appropriate time.
Fertilisation & transfer plan
Eggs are fertilised in the lab, embryos are assessed, and transfer or freezing is planned based on clinical factors.
Have questions about the treatment timeline?
Your specialist can explain how donor stimulation, uterine-lining preparation and embryo transfer are coordinated in your case.
Related treatment options
What if sperm count and egg-related factors are both a concern?
In selected cases, the fertility specialist may discuss donor eggs together with ICSI, depending on the sperm assessment and the couple’s clinical needs.
What is ICSI?
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is a laboratory technique in which one sperm is injected into a mature egg. It may be considered as part of donor egg IVF when clinically appropriate.
Can embryos be frozen?
Suitable embryos may sometimes be frozen for future use. The embryology and clinical team will explain suitability, storage arrangements, consent and applicable costs.
Donor screening
How are donor eggs selected?
Donor screening and selection are important parts of the donor egg IVF process. Clinics should follow applicable medical, genetic, consent and legal requirements when assessing donors.
At your consultation, ask the Jilla IVF Center team about its current donor screening process, what medical information is available, and how donor suitability and matching are assessed.
- Review of relevant medical history
- Screening and eligibility checks as required
- Discussion of consent, confidentiality and applicable regulations
- Clear explanation of the treatment plan and available options
