The first oocyte donor bank and "Oocyte Donorship" program realization

During three years (1996-99)266 women of the reproductive age addressed our Center expressing the wish to be oocyte donors. Äs a result of the 2-phase selection only 45 zvomen (20-33 years of age) were admitted into the “oocyte donors bank”. In order to study the reaction of ovaries for gonadotropic stimulation of healthy women with normal reproduction function we carried out the analyses of the results of superovulation in the group of 14 donors participating in the program for the first time.

The group of recipients consisted of 22 women (26-57years of age). The average age of the group zvas 39,2 years. For 15 patients it was the first experience of using donor’s oocytes in the frame of IVF program.

In order to define the factors affecting frequency rate of pregnancy development all recipients were split into 2 groups: 1^st group was formed by the women with pregnancy developed, 2^nd with pregnancy not developed. In the both groups most recipients (72%) suffered hypergonadotropic insufficiency of ovaries.

The“ Oocyte Donorship” program proves its high efficiency and allows providing 50% frequency rate of pregnancy development.
