Before proceeding with the Oocyte donation process, all potential donors and recipients undergo a comprehensive screening process to determine their suitability for the procedure. Once a donor and recipient couple have been approved and matched, the Oocyte donation process can commence.

​

Cycle Synchronization

The initial stage of the Oocyte donation process at Kulki IVF involves synchronizing the menstrual cycles of both the donor and recipient. This ensures the timely transfer of the fertilized embryo created from the donor's Oocyte to the recipient's uterus. The coordination of menstrual cycles is achieved through precisely administered medications.

​

The donor receives fertility medications to stimulate the maturation of multiple Oocytes simultaneously, while the recipient's natural cycle is suppressed. Replacement hormones are then administered to prepare the recipient's uterine lining for embryo implantation.

​

Oocyte Retrieval And Fertilization

After the donor's Oocytes are deemed ready, an Oocyte retrieval procedure is conducted using ultrasound-guided transvaginal aspiration at Kulki IVF. During this process, a needle is passed through the vaginal wall into the ovary, and gentle suction is applied to extract the mature Oocytes from their follicles.

​

This procedure typically lasts for about ten to fifteen minutes, and with intravenous sedation, patients experience minimal to no discomfort. Recovery is swift, and individuals can resume normal activities the following day.

​

Upon completion of the Oocyte retrieval, the donor's participation in the Oocyte donation program concludes. The collected Oocytes will be fertilized with the recipient's partner's sperm.

This fertilization process may involve standard In Vitro fertilization, where the Oocytes are combined with prepared sperm, allowing fertilization to occur naturally, or through intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) if necessary.

​

Embryo Placement

Once the Oocytes have undergone fertilization and have reached the required stage of embryonic development, two to four viable embryos are carefully selected and transferred into the recipient's uterus at Kalki IVF.

​

Any remaining embryos can be cryopreserved (frozen) for future use if the initial cycle is unsuccessful. To optimize the chances of success while minimizing the risk of multiple pregnancies, we adhere to transferring no more than two to four embryos per cycle.

​

The procedure for placing embryos during an Oocyte donation cycle mirrors that of a standard IVF cycle. A small catheter is delicately guided through the cervix and into the uterus. Subsequently, a thinner, softer catheter containing the embryos is introduced through the first catheter, and under ultrasound guidance, the embryos are gently deposited into the uterus.

​

This process is brief and typically involves minimal discomfort. Following the procedure, the patient rests for approximately 30 minutes before being discharged. It is advised to continue resting for the next day or two to facilitate hatching and implantation.
