Ovum recipient

Infertility is a disease like any other and society needs to understand that, in the same way that all diseases are treated, infertility must be sought in the same way.

Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article.

Egg Receptor

• 1. Frustration for the desired motherhood
• 2. Accept the oocyte donation
• 3. Synchronization of donor and recipient of ovules

In recent years, infertility has ranked fourth in health worldwide, behind problems of vision, hearing and stress. So it is not a topic to be treated lightly, it is necessary to invest in education and treatments to combat reproductive problems.

Donated ovules

On the other hand, infertility can not be compared to another disease such as cancer or an organ transplant, since it is solved or not, the patient does not put his life at risk. In our case, it is at stake to bring another new life to this world.

Frustration for the desired motherhood

Even so, the couple that suffers from infertility or sterility, has a very special way of living it. For them it is a disease that must be solved first and the degree of anxiety that can be achieved with each failure in the search for pregnancy is maximum. That is why it is considered that the psychological support, a part adhered to the treatment, can help the couple to overcome the day to day of the treatment.

It is true that not all couples need psychological help and that some of them see fertility treatment with optimism, facing it as a step to become parents.

Accept egg donation

At the moment that the couple who comes to the center of assisted reproduction, is informed that the oocytes of the patient do not have the sufficient quality or simply that there are no ovules, it is when the term Receiving Couple is defined. In the same way, we can define the term Egg Receptor as a woman who, due to the absence of valid oocytes in her body, needs other female gametes from an anonymous woman, who altruistically gives them to them when making a donation of ovules .

The acceptance that the feminine genetics in the future baby, is not going to be of the own pair that looks for the pregnancy, requires of time to accept it, since it is an important decision and that in the majority of the cases it is determined only by having delayed motherhood to such an extent that, at the moment in which the work position, the couple and the environment in general, is adequate, the oocytes are no longer and this must be assumed.

Synchronization of the egg donor with the recipient

Most of the time maternity is postponed in order to achieve the ideal status and thus offer the future baby all the comforts he needs, but at the moment that can be offered, the greatest possible disappointment is that they find they can not have children with their own gametes.

Once the egg donation has been accepted, the treatment to be followed is very simple, but it will only begin when a donor is found that is adapted to the physical characteristics of the recipient of the ovules.

When you have the right donor, you start the synchronous preparation of both.

Synchronization of donor and recipient of ovules

The recipient will need to prepare the endometrium by an injection of a GnRH analog on day 22 of the patient's menstrual cycle to desensitize the pituitary and at the time that menstruation falls, it will be combined with estrogen at increasing doses.

That would be enough to achieve in approximately 13 days the appropriate endometrial thickness, which can be assessed by means of a vaginal ultrasound. Once the endometrium has grown, the process of embryo transfer can be carried out, which will be accompanied by progesterone to favor the implantation of the embryos.

Because of all this, the donor's figure and the synchronization with the receiver are so important.
