Egg Donation Program (=oocyte donation) in Prague enables women, whose ovaries due to old age or some other reason don't contain eggs capable of fertilization, to get pregnant. The egg donor is always a young woman less than 35 years old. We use synchronized cycle so the recipient receives fresh eggs and embryos. The basic legal principal states that the mother of a child is the woman who gives birth. The other principle embedded in this Act is absolute anonymity.

Should you not get pregnant we offer 2nd cycle with 20% discount and 3rd cycle with 40% discount.

"If no pregnancy occurs, we will assign to you a new dose of frozen embryos free of charge!"

Origin of donated embryos:

We use embryos stored at our institute in a frozen state. They most often come from couples that were successfully treated at our institute and do not desire more children. The second possibility of embryo origin for donation is the fertilization of eggs of a voluntary female donor with sperm from a voluntary male donor. The Czech law says that the mother is always the woman who gives birth to the child.

Brief description of the IVF process:

During IVF in Prague the egg is removed from the ovaries, fertilised by sperms in laboratory and the fertilised egg is then transferred into uterus. To have a higher probability of a successful result, one egg is not enough so we stimulate the ovarian activity with hormones, in order to have more eggs maturing at the same time. Effects of the treatment are repeatedly checked with ultrasound while checking the hormonal levels. When the eggs mature, we remove them with a needle inserted through the vaginal wall while checking the process with ultrasound, then we move the eggs to a special nutrient solution and add the sperms.

Embryo transfer:

After two to five days, we insert the embryos through vagina and uterine suppository into uterus, using a very thin catheter. The more embryos are transferred, the better chance of success there is, but the risk of multiple pregnancies is also increasing at the same time; that's why we usually transfer and insert only one or two embryos into the uterus at a time, only in extraordinary cases we transfer more embryos. The other embryos can be frozen and transferred after defrosting in one of the next cycles so there is no need for the woman to undergo neither the ovarian stimulation, nor their punction. All steps of fertility treatment in Prague are outpatient treatments without being admitted to the hospital.
