Donor egg in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology used to help women who cannot conceive using their own eggs or prefer to use donor eggs. It involves fertilizing an egg provided by another woman through IVF and then transferring the resulting embryo(s) to the woman's uterus. The demand for donor egg IVF is growing owing to factors such as growing infertility rates, increase in average maternal age, rise in same-sex marriages and relationships, and social acceptance of donor conception.
