Egg Donation in Spain

What is egg donation and how does it work in Spain?

At our egg donation clinic, egg Donation is an efficient reproductive solution for patients who cannot have children with their own eggs. It is an in vitro fertilisation (IVF) procedure where the fertilised oocytes come from an anonymous donor.

How are egg donors selected at Vida Fertility?

Egg donors selection process

At our egg donation clinic in Spain, we follow rigorous processes for selecting our egg donor candidates. Around 40% of candidates for egg donation are ultimately suitable for entry into our programme.

We analyse their fertility, physical and psychological health, personal and family history, and carry out a genetic study to rule out they can carry any serious illnesses.

• Phenotype and immunological Matching

• Genetic Matching

• Egg donors between 18 and 31 years old

• Checked mental health

• Checked general and genetic health

The choice is yours:

  • Egg Donation with the up-to 2 blastocysts guarantee
  • Egg Donation with the up-to 3 blastocysts guarantee
  • Egg Donation with the up-to 5 blastocysts guarantee
  • Egg Donation with PGT-A and euploid guarantee

Step-by-step process of an Egg Donation in Spain

The first consultation is carried on online or at the clinic, depending on your availability. The Docteur will study your medical history, assess your case and establish a personalised treatment plan. Your personal assistant will then send/give you all the documents you need to make your decision and start your treatment from home.

At Vida Fertility, we have the right technology to select the ideal donor for you, taking into account not only clinical compatibility and genetic safety, but also meeting the expectations of each patient. Our team of donor selection specialists fully understands the implications of choosing the right donor and the fears and doubts our patients may have. That is why we are perfectly aligned with the other specialists involved in your treatment to select the donor who best suits you.

The Vida Fertility team has over 10 years’ experience in managing synchronised egg donation cycles for patients from all over the world.

To ensure that treatment dates can be tailored to your availability, we will prescribe medication. This medication will enable us to synchronise the donor’s cycle with the patient’s cycle.

At the beginning of her cycle, the patient will begin her endometrial preparation by taking estrogens. The objective is to reach an adequate endometrial thickness for the embryo implantation. At the same time, the donor will begin her ovarian stimulation to enhance follicular growth and obtain a good number of oocytes.

The mature oocytes are fertilised in the laboratory (with sperm from the couple or a donor) to obtain embryos. Generally, fertilisation is performed using the ICSI technique of sperm microinjection to increase the fertilisation rate. The embryos obtained are kept under observation in the laboratory incubators until they reach the blastocyst stage (day 5 or 6 of embryo development).

The embryo transfer is performed on the 5th or 6th day of the embryo development to increase the implantation rates. It is a simple procedure with no need for any type of anesthesia. Embryo selection follows very strict quality criteria in order to achieve pregnancy in the fewest number of attempts possible.

Fertility Evening:

We regularly organise fertility information evenings, during which you can freely ask any questions you may have on Assisted Reproductive Treatments in Spain.

Types of Egg Donation in Spain

Egg donation with the partner’s sperm

Egg donation with partner sperm allows the couple to keep the man’s genetic material in the embryos. Sperm quality will be analysed to optimise the fertilisation. The sperm may be previously frozen or fresh.

Double donation

Double donation follows the same process than the egg donation treatment. The only difference is that the sperm used for fertilisation will come from an anonymous donor.

Egg Donation with PGT-A

Egg Donation + PGT-A may be recommended when the partner is over 50, after several unsuccessful attempts, or at the patient’s request. The embryos obtained are checked for chromosomal abnormalities before being transferred.

The good feeling will certainly have contributed to the success of the treatment.

When we first contacted the clinic, I didn’t expect to become a mum so quickly, and now I even have hope that we might be able to create a sibling for our son with the remaining blastocysts. 

Thank you!

FAQ about Egg Donation in Spain

The price of an Egg Donation treatment in Spain can vary greatly depending on the characteristics and background of each patient. At Vida Fertility, we understand that each case is unique and that every patient requires a completely personalised approach and techniques. Therefore, if you are considering this treatment and want to know the cost of IVF with donor eggs at our fertility clinics in Madrid or Alicante, we recommend booking an appointment with our experts. During this initial consultation, you will receive a detailed diagnosis and a tailored quote.

Egg donation is an option when the number of eggs available is not sufficient to conceive naturally. It considerably improves the chances of success in situations where the eggs are of poor quality and the ovarian reserve is low.

Advanced donor selection methods help to face the pregnancy process, by ensuring that the eggs are compatible and healthy.

However, opting for this fertility route means facing the emotional challenge of not sharing genes with your future baby, a process known as genetic grief. At Vida Fertility, we offer the support and advice you need to make this important decision.

Egg donation treatment at Vida Fertility generally lasts 2 to 3 months, from donor selection to embryo transfer.

The total duration may vary depending on the timing of menstrual cycles and the preparation of the uterus of the recipient mother-to-be.

In the case of egg donation, the baby’s DNA comes from the egg donor and the father or a sperm donor. The mother does not therefore transmit her genetics directly to the baby.

However, the maternal influence during pregnancy can modify the baby’s epigenetics, i.e. the way in which its genes manifest themselves. Parameters such as diet, lifestyle and hygiene of the mother can influence the baby’s genetics.

In fertility, the age of the woman and the age of the man are crucial factors, especially for women. With age, the quantity of eggs diminishes, as does their quality. From the age of 38, this decline becomes more drastic and, after the age of 40, the difficulties of conceiving naturally increase significantly.

However, thanks to techniques such as egg donation, women can become mothers even beyond this age. Spanish legislation authorises ART up to the age of 50. This opens up a window of opportunity for those who wish to become pregnant later in life, offering them options to overcome the biological limits of ovarian reserve.

At Vida Fertility, we believe that consistency and trust are key to getting the best results. That’s why your treatment will always be monitored by the same doctor, from your first visit to the end of the first trimester of your pregnancy.

Your specialist will have a full understanding of your history, your tests results and every detail of your treatment, allowing us to offer you fully personalised and comprehensive medical care.

Only in exceptional cases – for circumstances beyond the clinic’s control – might another member of the medical team attend to you, always with the same professionalism and under the supervision of your regular doctor.

Egg donation has a success rate of around 90% in complex cases, particularly in couples where the woman has a low ovarian reserve and is over the age of 40.

At Vida Fertility, we take an individualised approach to optimising the chances of success of egg donation treatments, giving our patients the best chance of achieving pregnancy.
