TREATMENT AND SERVICES: EMBRYO DONATION

An alternative to traditional fertility treatments such as IVF or IUI is embryo donation.  Embryo donation is a process by which embryos are created through assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and can provide infertile couple an opportunity to carry a pregnancy to term. 

Embryo donation is commonly used when both the female and male are experiencing infertility issues.  Additionally, embryo donation is used by couples who are searching for a cost effective alternative to other forms of ART or who are high risk of passing down genetic disorders but cannot pursue PGD.

Once a couple chooses this form of treatment, an embryo donor is identified.  RSI offers an on-site counselor who will help you find a suitable donor.  Once a donor is secured, an embryo transfer is performed.  The female will be given fertility drugs to prepare her body for pregnancy and will be monitored to determine the best time for the transfer to take place. 

It is important to note the legal aspects associated with embryo donation.  RSI partners with attorneys who specialize in working with couples who choose to pursue embryo donation.
