Embryo Donation conception
Once couples or individuals undergoing IVF treatment complete their families, they may choose to donate their remaining embryos to another couple or individual. This may be for a variety of reasons, including:
- Not wanting to dispose of the embryos,
- Believing it is ethically preferable to donate rather than dispose of embryos,
- Feeling compassion for others struggling with infertility.
Who can receive a donor embryo
Your fertility specialist can suggest embryo donation as a possibility for you if previous fertility treatments have failed (or are highly unlikely to succeed).
The Melbourne IVF Embryo Donation Program is available to women until their 51st Birthday
