IVF with donor eggs in Poland and late motherhood

Yes, this kind of consultation is available. All you have to do is to make contact with our coordinators and we can do this kind of consultation We’ve already done it. If you would like this, please just get back to us.

We only have Caucasian donors because all our donors are Polish women, who are Caucasian.

We have two possibilities. We can perform a frozen cycle and also a fresh cycle. This depends on your timeline, so if the vitrified oocytes are available from the chosen donor, we can do this, and if you wish to have fresh eggs, this is also possible.

The minimum number of visits would be not less than two because at the beginning we should meet to perform a gynaecological examination to look at all test results and to perform an ultrasonography scan. If everything is fine, and we decide to prescribe medicines, and the medicines are taken at home, then the next visit should be around seven days of preparing the endometrium. You should go to Poland the second time, which will last for a couple of days when we’ve got the decision that the endometrium is appropriate to prepare the transfer. So two visits, not less than two.

We guarantee four good quality embryos, and whether it is day 3 or 5 depends on their development, which is checked by our embryologist.

Yes, the consultation is available and it’s about one hundred Euros for a consultation. Of course, if you are interested, then you can get back to us and we can ask the doctor to contact you and we can schedule such a consultation.

The egg donation programme costs EUR3,090, but this is a promotional price. The price of the normal package is EUR4,900.

Both have an effect. The age of a donor is between twenty to thirty-two, and we know that the older the recipient and the older the patient the worse the results. However, the final result depends on the patient’s maximum age.

The maximum age of the donor is 32, and most of them are about 25 years old, because most of them have already finished higher education, or are just finishing studies, so these are all young women.

Frozen embryos have a success rate of about 60% in our programmes. We do both frozen and fresh embryos transfers, and but usually start with a fresh embryo transfer.

Yes, these are women with proven fertility.

There are studies on epigenetics, and studies have been made around the world. But, for the time being, we aren’t sure.

Yes, I agree that in the frozen cycle it is much easier for the patient to prepare an endometrium to achieve the appropriate endometrial thickness, which tells us whether the endometrium is ready to be given the embryo.

Theoretically, it is possible, but your gynaecologist should be in contact with us, and if he or she is a specialist in reproductive medicine and does these things every day and has enough experience, then it is possible. However, if the doctor is not that familiar with reproductive medicine, there might be some problems with the endometrial thickness or changing the dosage of the drugs. But, yes, it is possible under several circumstances.

Generally, we check estradiol and progesterone, but not always. I don’t know here what hormone blood tests you mean. We want to have all the hormone blood test before our first visit, so it is possible to send them to our coordinators via email.

The embryo is guaranteed on day 3 or day 5. Generally, this is day 5, but sometimes, when we see the development of the embryo, it can also be day 3.

It is possible in our programme, four embryos are guaranteed, but there’s also a program with two embryos guaranteed, and all the information is available on our website.

Yes, we do.

When we want to prepare endometrium, or when we have the frozen embryo, we can start preparing endometrium in a timeline that is good for the patient, and if we want to perform the fresh transfer, then we have to prepare the donor and the recipient at the same time.

Yes, we have semen donors in our clinic.

Yes, this is the same.

We can use four or two embryos because from one donor we can have more oocytes. We do not guarantee all oocytes from one donor. Therefore, the oocytes of one donor can be shared with a few patients.

Yes, because these are only Polish men. Therefore, it’s exactly the same as with women donors.

It is possible that you can have all the oocytes from one donor for yourself, but this is an extra cost and it is not guaranteed in every programme.

It is the matter of the doctor who is preparing the endometrium of the patient, so it is maybe a little bit more difficult, but we do it with success. Therefore, it’s not something for the patient to worry about.

It’s necessary to perform an ultrasonography scan. It is also possible that when it’s the beginning of your cycle and you send us the ultrasonography scan via email.

The success rate is the rate of pregnancy not live births because live births depend on many different factors that were mentioned in our presentation.

The oocytes can go to one patient but it costs more. This depends on the number of oocytes, but, generally, oocytes are shared.

No, we don’t have any but we’ve got a lot of patients from Great Britain.

Yes, we guarantee these four embryos, and there are also other possibilities, but all the details can be sent by e-mail because it depends on what you would like to be guaranteed.

This is for a single cycle.

We do not perform any additional tests here in Poland. We ask you about your general health condition, and if there any other diseases or chronic diseases. All the consultations should be done in your own country, and then if there is an additional problem, you’re asked to show us this kind of consultation, because we want to know that the pregnancy won’t be dangerous for you.

Generally, there’s no difference between a woman that is pregnant with frozen eggs compared with one who fell pregnant naturally, so there are no extra things that the patient should be careful about.

Achieving a live birth, no. We do not have many patients over 50. Most of our patients are over 40 years old, and the success rate depends on other things, not only on the oocytes because the oocytes originate from young women.

No, because nobody will get worse eggs, because this is guaranteed in our package. All eggs are good quality. What we guarantee are the embryos, two or four good quality embryos. The matching is a very important part of our work, and matching between the donor and the patient is done by a coordinator.

As I mentioned before, the donors are about 25 years old, and the average age of our patients is about 40.

We do not give patients oocytes to guarantee good quality. We guarantee four embryos, and this does not depend on the number of oocytes. If it’s necessary, we perform more oocyte fertilization just to have these four good quality embryos.

No, it is impossible, because the donation is anonymous.

Yes, and in some way, it is possible, of course.

Generally, it is said that pregnancy after the age of 35 becomes a little bit riskier, but a healthy woman, even in their forties or later become pregnant, and if they are healthy and this happens, there are no complications during pregnancy or labour.

Yes. If we guarantee four embryos, the patient must be given four embryos, and it’s on our side how we do it.

That would be the same donor.

We can send you all the documents that are necessary for us. However, you will have to come to us for the first visit on your own, so that we can also sign all those documents.

Well, it would be better if he came here just one time and then we will perform semen analysis and freeze the sperm, and then later we’ll use this frozen semen in our procedures. We know that sometimes it doesn’t work very well. After transportation, there might be some problems, and we do not take responsibility for the quality of this kind of sperm, so it’s advisable to come to us.

Of course, in one egg donation, the success rate is 60%. However, as we know our patients are very different, and we are talking about donation programmes in older patients, we must be aware that sometimes one transfer is not enough for the patient. Sometimes, it is, but if we take the population of older women, it will a little bit decreased.

No, we don’t perform double donation.

I don’t know what you mean by “how strict” because we’ve got our own procedures. Patients fill in a special questionnaire where they tell us about the phenotype. We also look at the phenotype. We perform tests, blood tests and so on, and the same things concern our donors. We do this to engineer the best similarity between our patients and our donors.

If you want to adopt an embryo, it is also possible.

Well, it is possible, but it is similar as with frozen semen, in that we don’t want to take responsibility for the quality of the embryos transported. We had cases of embryos that arrived to us that were not of good quality, and therefore the success rate was not as high as we would like, so we want to perform the procedures ourselves.

These include blood type, phenotype features, height, weight, colour of eyes and hair and so on.

Yes. So it is possible that we’ve got the donation of eggs and sperm from the anonymous donor and the embryo adoption is allowed.

These are also embryos of very good quality, so the success rate is over 50%. Whether it’s cheaper depends on what you would like to achieve. If it’s not possible to have your own gametes, for example, sperm, when your own eggs are of very low quality, then you can use donor’s eggs and your partner’s sperm, or you can have an adoption with donor’s eggs and the sperm of the donor, so this will be a little bit more expensive.

In some cases, we do recommend this to patients after consultation, if it is recommended by doctors of another speciality.

Yes, it happens, and we’ve got these kinds of embryos from couples that have already achieved their own pregnancy and donated embryos.

Yes, we do perform additional diagnostic tests and almost all procedures are ICSI procedures, dedicated to male factor.

Yes, it is anonymous. You will have no information about your donor.

Of course, it depends on the AMH results. Here it is 8.9 is, because it might be in nanogrammes. If it’s nanogrammes, and the antral follicle count is 12, even at the age of 39, I would recommend IVF with her own eggs.
