It includes the preparation and collection of eggs from the donor woman, its fertilization in the laboratory with the egg recipient’s husband’s sperm, and the transfer of the resulting embryos to the recipient’s uterus (infertile couple).
This is done after stimulation of ovulation using hormonal drugs and assisted reproductive treatments. Usually, stimulation of ovulation leads to the capture of multiple eggs and, as a result, the formation of more embryos than the couple needs. In this way, it is possible to use embryos (embryos) in excess of the couple’s needs for those couples whose infertility treatment is not possible with any other method.
In such cases, embryo donation must be done with the consent and written consent of the donor couple, after evaluating their health in authorized specialized infertility treatment centers and in complete confidentiality. In some cases, embryo donor couples refer to authorized centers only with the intention of donating.
All women under the age of 35 who do not have a husband and have at least one successful delivery in the past can be candidates for donation. The egg donor is examined in terms of physical and mental health. Psychiatrist consultation, blood test and preliminary examinations are done to confirm the health and then it can enter the stage of checking the health status of the ovaries and uterus. The initial visit includes afc ultrasound.
Embryo donors are couples who donate their embryos with personal consent and following the steps mentioned.
The legal standards and obligations and responsibilities of the donor couple, the principle of confidentiality and the effects and results of the donation treatment should be fully explained by lawyers familiar with the legal issues of infertility treatments in the counseling sessions and the legal questions of the couples should be answered and finally, their informed consent. To be taken for further treatment. After initial consultation and evaluation and obtaining informed consent, reproductive health and the ability to donate in embryo and egg donors are examined from the point of view of obstetrics, gynecology, embryology, andrology, and urology specialists.
Conventional health evaluation of the donor, including general clinical and paraclinical consultation and evaluation, consultation and evaluation of internal diseases, infectious diseases, genetics, and psychological-social health consultation and evaluation are also performed.
Recipients of embryos (embryos) and eggs: based on the “law on how to donate embryos (embryos) to infertile couples” and its executive regulations, whenever the infertility of legal and religious couples (either alone or both) is proven after medical procedures, the centers Infertility treatment specialists will be authorized to transfer embryos (embryos) resulting from insemination outside the womb of legal and Islamic couples and after the written consent of the couples who own the embryos (embryos) into the woman’s womb, in accordance with the Shari’a rules and the conditions stipulated in the law. Infertile couple should take action.
Also, according to the fatwas of eminent authorities, in cases where only the female factor is the cause of infertility, if the infertile couple wishes, donated eggs are used. The diagnosis and proof of couple’s infertility is confirmed after the examination and diagnosis of the specialized group, and only in the case of the absence of suitable egg or suitable embryo, alternative treatments (donations) are used. The purpose of these measures is to ensure the impossibility of treating the person through conventional treatments, other than donation, and to avoid further legal and legal problems.
Surrogate womb: One of the important causes of infertility is the mother’s (wife’s) inability to carry and nurture an embryo (fetus) in the womb. Uterine replacement becomes necessary when the couple has all the necessary factors for the formation of a child, but due to not having a uterus or a healthy uterus, the possibility of having a child has been denied to them. The ectopic fertilization technology has made it possible for such couples that the embryo (embryo) resulting from the fertilization of the mother’s egg and the father’s sperm applying for surrogacy treatment in the embryology laboratory, is transferred to a third party’s uterus in a suitable position.
