Embryo donation
What is embryo donation
Donor Embryo Transfer is an assisted reproduction technique (ART) where an embryo donated by another couple is transferred to the recipient woman’s uterus.
What are the phases of the treatment
The process from the beginning of the treatment until the embryo is transferred lasts about one month and consists of the following stages:
Gynaecology visit
Endometrial preparation
Frozen embryo thawing and culture
Embryo transfer
Who it is for
Donor Embryo Transfer is recommended for:
- Couples with mixed-factor infertility: where the women’s own eggs cannot be used and there is a serious male factor.
- Couples with immunological incompatibility problems.
- Couples who have not achieved pregnancy even after several IVF cycles.
- Couples prone to recurrent miscarriages or repeated implantation failures.
- Single women who wish to have a child.
- Women in a homosexual relationship who wish to have a child.

Testimony
Mercedes, Sant Just Desvern (Barcelona)
My partner is five years older than me and we got married two years ago. We both wanted to have children and we tried in vitro fertilization, because I was 43 years old and my gynecologist advised me to do so. But we had no luck, as he also had fertility problems. We were very discouraged. At Dexeus Mujer they told us about the possibility of opting for embryo donation instead of egg donation. The advantage in our case was that it greatly increased the chances of obtaining a good result, and also shortened the treatment time by not having to look for a donor. So we decided to give ourselves another chance, and it worked! Our son Pablo has just turned one year old, so we could not be more grateful to the entire medical team.
