The Donor Embryo Programme offers a compassionate path to parenthood for couples who are unable to conceive using their own eggs and sperm.
What is the Donor Embryo Programme?
The Donor Embryo Programme offers a compassionate path to parenthood for couples who are unable to conceive using their own eggs and sperm. A donor embryo is an embryo created by another couple during their IVF cycle who have generously chosen to donate their remaining embryos to help others conceive. These embryos are carefully matched, medically evaluated, and preserved through advanced vitrification to ensure safety and quality.
Once matched, the embryo is thawed and transferred into your uterus in a simple, gentle, and painless procedure — giving you a genuine chance at a healthy pregnancy.
When Is a Donor Embryo Recommended?
During your consultation, Dr Manmeet Batra reviews your health reports and family-building plans. Based on this, she helps you understand if a donor embryo is the right choice.
- Very low egg reserve or poor egg quality
- Severe male infertility where sperm cannot be used
- Repeated IVF failures despite good treatment
- Genetic or hereditary conditions in one or both partners
- Couples or individuals unable to use their own eggs/sperm
- Single parents choosing to build a family
- When both egg and sperm donation are required together
How the Donor Embryo Process Works
1. Consultation & Counselling
You meet Dr Manmeet Batra to discuss your medical history, expectations, and emotional comfort. Counselling helps you understand the ethical, medical, and psychological aspects of embryo donation.
2. Matching With Donor Embryo
Embryos are matched based on medical compatibility and basic characteristics. All donors undergo thorough screening for infectious diseases and genetic conditions.
3. Preparing the Uterus
A personalised transfer cycle is created using medications to prepare your uterine lining for optimal implantation.
4. Thawing & Embryo Transfer
On the day of transfer, the frozen donor embryo is carefully thawed using modern vitrification. Dr Batra performs the embryo transfer — a quick, painless procedure that does not require anaesthesia.
5. Pregnancy Support
After the transfer, supportive medications and follow-up care ensure the best possible environment for implantation and early pregnancy.
