Egg donors: Getting Pregnant Using Donated Eggs in the UK

egg donors in the uk

For many individuals and couples in the UK facing infertility, egg donation offers a life-changing opportunity to experience pregnancy and build a family. Whether due to age-related infertility, early menopause, or genetic conditions, IVF with donor eggs is a widely accepted and effective treatment option.

Why Choose Egg Donation?

Egg donation is a recommended solution when a woman cannot use her own eggs to conceive. Common reasons include:

  • Low or absent ovarian reserve

  • Premature ovarian failure

  • Genetic disorders

  • Repeated IVF failure

  • Age-related fertility decline

With donated eggs, intended parents have the chance to carry and give birth to their own child, even if they cannot contribute genetically.

Ukrainian law sets the limit of 8 stimulation cycles.

What can disqualify a potential donor?
