| DONOR
GAMETES
For couples and individuals who experience a lack of eggs or sperm,
or whose eggs or sperm will not allow development into viable embryos,
using donated eggs or sperm (or both in some cases) is a course
of treatment worth consideration. Donors are usually anonymous,
though not necessarily so - as in cases using family members or
significant others.
OOCYTES (egg)
Egg donation is a viable option for women whose ovaries no longer
produce eggs or whose eggs cannot develop into viable embryos. It
is also an option for these couples who wish to maintain a biological
link, using the partner's sperm. Click here
to learn about PRIDE, our egg donation program.
SPERM
Sperm donation has been around for many years and has been socially
acceptable for some time. Not only can a single woman, or women
who do not have male partners, become pregnant using donated sperm,
but males who have severe sperm abnormalities, or no sperm at all,
or even potentially serious genetic traits he does not wish to pass
on, can benefit. Donors are screened for STDs, heredity and genetic
diseases and blood disorders. Donors can be found who closely physically
and mentally match the recipient. The CNY Fertility Center does
not maintain a donor sperm program, however, we can work with the
facilities listed below. If you choose a facility not listed below please confirm that they are licensed by the New York State Department of Health before purchasing or shipping donor sperm.
