Donor egg options at Nashville Fertility Center
Donor eggs can turn parenthood dreams into reality. By considering donor eggs, you’re making a proactive step in family-building—and you’re supported every step of the way. At Nashville Fertility Center, we offer expert guidance, compassionate care, and proven treatments from initial consultation to embryo transfer and early pregnancy monitoring.
What is donor egg treatment?
Donor egg treatment is a type of IVF where eggs from a carefully screened donor are fertilized and transferred to the recipient’s uterus. Our method integrates medical, psychological, and legal safeguards to protect donors and recipients and to promote the best possible outcomes.
In Tennessee, egg donation is popular among LGBTQIA+ couples, single parents, and those needing donor eggs due to infertility. Nashville Fertility Center works with several national donor egg banks including Fairfax Egg Bank, so patients can more easily find an egg donor who feels like the right fit to help them grow their families.
IVF with donor eggs is highly effective and recommended for women facing fertility challenges. Single men and same-sex male couples also use IVF with egg donation and a gestational carrier. Donor eggs, from healthy young donors, often result in high-quality embryos and better success rates than IVF with older eggs. Individual outcomes depend on factors like uterine health and medical history. We offer clear success rate counseling and tailored protocols to optimize IVF results with donor eggs.
Reasons to Use Donor Eggs
Donor eggs are essential for male couples using IVF and are ideal for addressing certain medical issues. Common reasons include:
- Premature ovarian failure
- Premature menopause
- Diminished ovarian reserve
- Poor response to fertility medications
- Presence of an inheritable genetic condition
- History of miscarriages or IVF failures
- Absence of ovaries
Our donor egg specialists help evaluate if donor eggs are suitable for you, streamlining the process to bring home a healthy baby.
The Donor Egg Process
Our donor egg process is designed to be straightforward, compassionate, and tailored to your goals. Here is how it typically works:
Consultation and testing: You will meet with a reproductive endocrinologist to review your medical history, discuss treatment options, and complete recommended testing. If donor eggs are the best option, we will review timing, costs, and expected success rates for IVF with donor eggs, so there are no surprises.
Donor exploration: Choosing a donor is a deeply personal decision. Our team helps you consider medical history, genetic screening results, physical characteristics, education, interests, and prior successful donations. Some recipients prioritize blood type or ethnic background. We encourage focusing on health and compatibility, while honoring your preferences and values throughout donor egg treatment.
Treatment planning: Your personalized donor egg treatment plan is created. Our embryology team fertilizes the donor eggs with partner or donor sperm. Embryos are cultured and, when appropriate, genetically tested according to your plan. We generally recommend single embryo transfer for safety and success, with additional suitable embryos cryopreserved.
Pregnancy monitoring: About 9–11 days after embryo transfer, you will take a pregnancy test and begin early monitoring with our clinicians.
