Donating eggs gives the chance for other couples to be parents

Donating eggs gives the chance for other couples to be parents

In previous articles I talked about the fertility of women, addressing the issue of age and the ideal conditions for her to become pregnant. However, for various reasons, this does not always happen. But what, then, are the options for the woman who does not have adequate and adequate eggs?

Prior to the introduction of Assisted Reproduction techniques, adoption was the only option for this couple. Today, in vitro fertilization (IVF) enabled the treatment with donated eggs, ovodoation. This treatment is very similar to classical IVF and the main steps are:

Today, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) made possible the treatment with donated eggs, ovodoation.

1. Stimulation of the female ovaries 2. Collection of these eggs by the vaginal route; 3. Donation of part (in the case of the donor also being treated) from the ova to another couple; 4 Transfer of the embryos formed in the womb of the recipient woman The first question we hear is: what is the difference between ovodoation and adoption ? Although adoption is an option, there are important differences that make donor egg treatment unique. The first is that the donor has characteristics compatible with the recipient. The second is that there is the genetic participation of the man and the physiologist of the woman. The woman who receives ovules lives all pregnancy and childbirth and is able to breastfeed, creating strong bonds with her child. lives all pregnancy and childbirth and is able to breastfeed, creating intense bonds with your child. In this sense, treatment with donated eggs is positive and rewarding.

Ethics in egg donation

Obviously, this treatment follows ethical and legal aspects of medicine. In Brazil, the first point to be emphasized is that egg donation is voluntary and non-profit making, ie the woman needs to allow her eggs to be donated and can not be remunerated for it. In addition, the donation is anonymous: the donor and the recipient can not know each other. Finally, people working at Human Reproduction Clinics can not donate eggs.

How is the donor chosen?

The donor is a woman with unique characteristics. First, you need to have good quantity and quality of eggs. Then, it needs to be carefully evaluated (medical history, blood and imaging tests). Finally, you need to consent to the donation of eggs.

Unfortunately, in Brazil, there is still a lack of donors. This occurs for several reasons, but the main one is the lack of information. Giving can be a great option in some situations. An example is when the woman has many eggs, but does not want to have frozen embryos for religious, financial or other reasons. In this case, part of the eggs could be donated.

Finally, it is worth mentioning: donating eggs means giving another couple the possibility of having a child. Our message is: Donate eggs, receive life!


Non-invasive prenatal examination may detect early-stage cancer

Non-invasive prenatal examination may detect early-stage cancer

An adapted version of a test non-invasive prenatal care is able to detect some early-stage cancers in pregnant women. This was pointed out in a study published in the American Medical Association's journal of oncology. The study counted on the participation of 4,000 pregnant women. Through blood examination three genomic mutations were observed in three women that led to the suspicion of maternal or fetal cancer.
