Many women, regardless of being in their fertile age, have a problem that does not allow them to produce eggs (oocytes) regularly, thus having reproduction issues.
This includes women whose ovaries have stopped working, or are very close to this moment, and women who, due to various diseases, have been forced to undergo ovary removal (oophorectomy).
The first group includes women with premature menopause and those close to menopause. The second group includes patients with tumors, cysts, or ovarian or breast cancer who have undergone surgical removal of the ovaries.
For both these groups, the only possibility to get pregnant is egg donation from another woman. These eggs will be fertilized through in vitro fertilization in the laboratory with the husband's sperm, and the embryos that will be formed will be transferred to the recipient woman's uterus. In this way, although the recipient female will not be the genetic mother of the child, she will still be the mother who will give birth and consequently the biological mother.

The choice of the donor is the competence of the medical team and is based on finding as much phenotypic similarity with the recipient as possible.
The donor remains anonymous; her identity is absolutely protected by the clinic.
