Does IVF Only Involve Donor Gametes? Myths and Facts
MYTH: IVF involves donor gametes only
FACT: IVF is usually done with the wife's eggs and the husband's sperms. There are chances that even women with low ovarian reserve may conceive with their own eggs.
Donor gametes are advised only in selective situations, like very advanced maternal age, premature ovarian failure, menopausal women, or where no sperm is found in the husband even after surgical retrieval.
It is very important for the clinic to get proper consents and give adequate counselling for using donor gametes.
When people hear IVF, the first assumption is often donor eggs. However, IVF is not a shortcut or a one-size-fits-all solution. Misunderstandings around age, reports and numbers can create unnecessary fear and self-doubt among women. Dr Smriti Anand, IVF Specialist, helps understand when donor eggs are actually required. Dr Anand explained that IVF decisions are based on several factors, including ovarian reserve, egg quality, overall health and individual response to treatment. She also highlighted why AMH should not be viewed in isolation. IVF is a process of evaluation, not a verdict.
