How successful is donor egg IVF?
Success rates using donated eggs are high. This is largely because IVF using donated eggs is most successful when the donor is younger than 36, so all our egg donors are aged 35 or less. Egg Donor IVF therapy is extraordinarily successful. Using donor eggs can elevate a patient’s likelihood of achieving a successful pregnancy up to 70% in just one cycle, even if previous IVF cycles using the patient’s own eggs have failed.

How long does it take your body to recover after IVF?
Recovery from the egg retrieval procedure is minimal for many patients. Plan ahead for a relaxing afternoon and evening the day of the procedure, and expect some light bleeding and cramping that day. You may be able to work the following day, but be flexible – you may need one more day at home.
Patients with a high response to stimulation (lots of eggs retrieved or high estrogen levels in the cycle) can take longer to recover. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a risk of IVF and can involve enlarged ovaries, fluid buildup in the pelvis and abdomen, and bloating. Patients with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can be caught off guard if they assume all their symptoms will resolve with ‘getting the eggs out,’ so contact your clinic if you are having significant bloating, weight gain, or discomfort after the retrieval. If you are planning a fresh transfer, follow your instructions for starting the supporting medications.
If you’re not planning a fresh transfer, expect a period about 7-10 days after the retrieval, and warning: this period may be heavier and more crampy than normal since your hormone levels are higher and your uterine lining usually gets thicker in a stimulation cycle compared to a natural menstrual cycle.
