Egg donation is the practice of one woman—the ‘donor’—providing her eggs to another—the ‘recipient’—for use in assisted reproduction treatment, which usually takes the form of IVF. It is particularly applicable to couples having problems with egg production or quality or who have certain genetic disorders they wish to avoid passing on. Often, couples will turn to egg donation when attempts through standard IVF protocols have not borne fruit. It represents a viable alternative that can make getting pregnant a real possibility again, in situations where it could not otherwise be. Through Medical Travel, you get to ‘customise’ your donor by choosing her physical traits and blood group, which criteria our clinic will then use in the selection process. Read on to learn more.

In the case of the basic package, if at least one embryo suitable for transfer is not yielded, a new donor will be provided at no extra charge. In the case of the comfort package, a new donor will be provided if fewer than six eggs are harvested or if fewer than two embryos suitable for transfer are yielded. If the first and second fresh cycles are not successful, a third will be offered either for free (Comfort Package) or at a 30% discount (Basic Package). This will come in the form of a shared cycle, in which case we guarantee four harvested eggs and one healthy embryo for transfer. For the guarantee to apply, sperm must be of sufficient quality (in a state of ‘normozoospermia’), and the recipient must suffer from no autoimmune diseases, natural killer (NK) cells, or uterine fibroids. Also, any frozen embryos remaining from one cycle must be used before the next fresh cycle may commence.
Next attempt with frozen unused embryos (FET - Frozen embryo transfer) costs 700 EUR.

We require medical report from your doctor to see why you cannot carry and deliver child. You need to find your own surrogate mother and she needs to undergo pre-treatment tests required for egg donation treatment. We will use your own eggs and your partner sperm or donated sperm (your partner needs to agree with using sperm donor).

The first step is to fill in our fertility questionnaire and egg donation form. You can undergo required pre-treatment tests for you and your partner back home or at the GYNEM Fertility clinic. During the initial consultation with our experienced doctor, an individual stimulation protocol will be determined. Sperm can also be collected and frozen so that it is not necessary for the man to return to Prague again.
The price of the initial consultation is 150 EUR, which will be returned to you once you decide to go ahead with our Egg donation programme at GYNEM Fertility clinic.
If for personal or work reasons you cannot travel to Prague for an initial consultation, this is an alternative option. The first step is to fill in our fertility questionnaire and egg donation form, undergo required pre-treatment tests back home and send us the results. After the clinical evaluation we will provide you with Skype consultation with our fertility doctor. Our IVF coordinator will find a suitable donor for you, we will send you medicaments via post and issue a stimulation protocol for you. Online consultation is free of charge.
The stimulation of your ovaries starts on the 2nd day of your period. After 10 days from the beginning of stimulation, you must visit your personal doctor to make an ultrasound scan to check that the uterus lining height is appropriate, or it is also possible to arrive in Prague and visit GYNEM fertility clinic for ultrasound scan.
Around the 15th day of stimulation the egg retrieval of your donor will take place. On the same day, a sperm sample will be collected for fertilization (unless provided in the first visit or if donor sperm will be used). The cultivations of embryos lasts 3-5 days and we inform you every day about how the embryos are developing.
Around the 20th day from the start of the stimulation the embryo is transferred. We currently transfer 1-2 embryos. The amount of transferred embryos will be discussed and decided with the patient and embryologist. Unused and healthy embryos can be frozen and used at a later time if the first attempt is not successful.
14 days after the embryo transfer you will take a pregnancy test. If the pregnancy test is positive, you will continue taking prescribed medications until the 10th week of pregnancy. If the pregnancy test is negative immediately discontinue taking prescribed medicaments.
Short stay (2 days)
Your total stay in Prague is approximately 2 days if you wish to use frozen sperm from your first visit and if you undergo an ultrasound scan on the 10th day of your stimulation back home and send us the results via email. You will arrive one day before the embryo transfer.
Recommended stay (7 days)
Your total stay in Prague is approximately 7 days if you undergo an ultrasound scan on the 10th day of your stimulation back home and send us results via email. You will arrive one day before the egg retrieval (we need your partner's sperm).
Long stay (10 days)
Your total stay in Prague is approximately 10 days if you undergo the ultrasound scan on the 10th day of your stimulation here at the clinic. You will arrive on the day of your ultrasound scan.
The male partner’s stay in Prague can be reduced to only one day.
