Frequently Asked Questions
It is relatively quick. Once a match is found and your cycle is synchronized, the preparation of the uterus takes about 2-3 weeks, followed immediately by the transfer.
Yes. In India, strict laws ensure that the identity of the donors is kept confidential and is never revealed to the recipients or the child.
Success rates for embryo donation are typically high, often ranging between 50% and 60%, because the embryos usually come from younger donors with proven fertility.
No. Under Indian law, all donors must be anonymous, and their identity must be kept strictly confidential. Therefore, you cannot meet your dono
Yes. As the selected donor is anonymous, their identity is kept completely private. All legal agreements ensure that their information is never shared.
The main document is a Donation Agreement, signed before treatment. Our team guides you through all legal steps.
No, absolutely not. The process involves providing a semen sample through masturbation, which is painless and non-invasive.
Donors usually donate once or twice a week. It is recommended to have 2-3 days of abstinence between donations to ensure high sperm count.
No. The male body produces millions of new sperm every day. Donating sperm does not run out your supply or affect your ability to have your own children later.
Yes. In India, donor anonymity is mandatory. Your identity will never be revealed to the parents or the child.
Sperm can be stored in liquid nitrogen indefinitely. However, clinics usually store it until the donation limit for that donor is reached or for a specific number of years as per clinic policy.
No, the procedure itself is not painful because it is done under mild sedation (anesthesia). You will sleep through the 15-minute process. You may feel some mild cramping, similar to period pain, for a day after the retrieval.
The active medical part of the process takes about 2 to 3 weeks. This includes the 10-12 days of injections and the egg retrieval day.
Under the current ART (Regulation) Act, 2021 in India, a woman can donate her eggs only once in her lifetime. This regulation is in place to protect the donor’s health.
No. A woman is born with millions of eggs. In a natural cycle, only one matures while hundreds die off. Egg donation simply “rescues” those eggs that would have been lost naturally that month. It does not deplete your reserve or affect your ability to have children in the future.
Yes, anonymity is mandatory under Indian law. Your identity, name, and address will never be revealed to the recipient couple or the child, and you will not know their identity either.
Fertility preservation refers to the medical techniques used to protect and store reproductive tissues, such as eggs, sperm, or embryos, to enable individuals to have children in the future, even if they face health challenges or age-related fertility decline.
Fertility preservation is essential for cancer patients undergoing treatments that may affect fertility, individuals with specific health conditions that could impair reproductive function, and those who are choosing to delay parenthood for personal or professional reasons.
Various conditions, such as problems with sperm production, sperm transport, or structural abnormalities in the reproductive organs, can cause male infertility. Common causes of male infertility involve low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm morphology, or blockages in the reproductive tract. Hormonal imbalances, genetic factors, and lifestyle habits can also contribute to male infertility. Men should undergo a thorough evaluation to determine the specific causes of male infertility and explore treatment options.
The most common methods include freezing eggs, sperm, or embryos, as well as preserving ovarian tissue for future use.
Male factor infertility refers to infertility that is primarily caused by factors related to the male partner. It can include problems with sperm production, sperm quality, or sperm transport. Male factor infertility can significantly impact a couple’s ability to conceive, and both partners need to undergo a comprehensive analysis to identify the underlying causes and develop an appropriate treatment regimen.
Various methods can help diagnose male infertility. Alongside a meticulous medical history and physical examination, a semen examination is a vital diagnostic tool. This analysis evaluates sperm count, motility, morphology, and other factors that may impact fertility. Hormonal tests may also assess testosterone levels and other hormone imbalances that could contribute to infertility.
There are several treatment options available for low sperm count. Depending on the underlying condition, lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy weight, lowering alcohol consumption, quitting smoking, and stress management can be beneficial. Certain medications can stimulate sperm production, and assisted reproductive techniques such as IUI) or in vitro fertilisation (IVF) can bypass low sperm count issues.
Nil sperm count, also known as azoospermia, can be treated depending on the specific cause. Surgical interventions like testicular sperm extraction (TESE) or micro-dissection TESE can retrieve sperm directly from the testes. These sperm can then be used in procedures like intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) during IVF. In some cases, donor sperm may be an option.
Success rates for fertility preservation vary significantly based on the chosen method and individual health factors. It is crucial to discuss these rates with a fertility specialist to understand personal chances.
