What is egg cell adoption?

Egg cell adoption is a procedure in which oocytes (egg cells) are used for in vitro fertilisation. Adoption enables women unable to provide healthy egg cells themselves to experience motherhood.

 

The egg cells come from a donor who has passed serological, gynaecological, genetic, and psychological tests. Fertilisation is performed by ICSI. Subsequently, the resulting blastocyst-stage embryos are delivered into the uterus of the recipient patient (embryotransfer) and, if a larger number of embryos are acquired, frozen.

evaluation of ovarian reserve (AMH, FSH, LH, Estradiol)
cytology test – valid 12 months
test for vaginal cleanliness (biocenosis) -valid 6 months

tests for infections (Rubella IgG, Toxoplasmosis IgG and IgM, Cytomegalic inclusion body disease IgG and IgM, Anti-HIV 1,2, HBsAg, Anti-HBc, Anti-HCV-Ab,VDRL) – valid 6 months

tests for infections (Anti-HIV 1,2, HBsAg, Anti-HBc, Anti HCV-Ab,VDRL Cytomegalic inclusion body disease IgG and IgM, chlamydia DNA PCR) – valid 6 months

additionally, for surgery under general anaesthesia: Blood count, APTT, PT, sodium, potassium
In order to carry out the in vitro fertilisation procedure, it is necessary to adequately prepare the cycle, perform the above tests, and complete the necessary documentation by both the female and male partner.

Egg cell adoption programme

 

We operate our own cell bank and work with two foreign banks. Anonymous donors are young women, and the procedure for qualification, collection, and freezing of oocytes is always performed after a prior gynaecological examination, as well as genetic and serological tests, in accordance with provisions in force.
The IVF program with adopted donor egg cells runs in accordance with the requirements of the Regulation of the Minister of Health dated 23 October 2015 on health requirements for a candidate for a donor of reproductive cells for partner and non-partner donation, and for a recipient of reproductive cells and embryos, and the detailed conditions for collecting reproductive cells for use in the procedure of medically assisted procreation.
The program covers:

  • selection of oocytes, based on phenotypical characteristics, in accordance with the Infertility Treatment Act dated 25 June 2015 (Journal of Laws of 31 July 2015, item 1087) and the Regulation of the Minister of Health with regards to the Act
  • accepting cells to the bank,
  • establishing a deposit of reproductive cells as per the above provisions,
  • drafting relevant documents, release of cells from the bank to the embryology laboratory for fertilisation and embryo creation
  • preparing oocytes for fertilisation (procedure of identification, thawing, incubation and evaluation of cells)
  • coordinator’s support,
  • possibility of psychological counselling.
Cost of the stage: PLN 2 100

This stage includes the procedure for the preparation and handling of sperm for fertilisation, the procedure for the fertilisation of cells using assisted fertilisation (ICSI or IMSI) and embryo culture.

Cost of the stage: PLN 6 400

This stage includes the procedure for transferring the embryo into the uterine cavity.

Cost of the stage: PLN 1 800

This stage involves cryopreservation of the created embryos using a vitrification method, and the first year of their storage at the Bank of Reproductive Cells and Embryos.

Cost of the stage: PLN 950 for the first embryo + PLN 350 for every additional embryo

  • costs of the packages of cells from an external bank,
  • cycle synchronization and monitoring; the cost of drugs used to synchronise the cycle and during cycle monitoring and post-transfer the cost of examinations required by the Regulation of the Minister of Health dated 23 October 2015 on health requirements for a candidate for a donor of reproductive cells for partner and non-partner donation, and for a recipient of reproductive cells and embryos, and the detailed conditions for collecting reproductive cells for use in the procedure of medically assisted procreation
  • cost of hormonal testing during treatment; time-lapse embryo culture (Embryoscope)
  • additional embryological procedures (Embryoscope, FertileChip, Assisted hatching, EmbryoGlue or UTM transfer medium)

The entire adoption process is managed

by our female medical coordinator, who knows you and your case and stays in touch with the cell and embryo banks and coordinates the medical team throughout the adoption programs.

Donor egg cell adoption is beneficial to couples where the woman does not have her own oocytes, or where they are of poor quality and therefore do not have the potential for pregnancy.

In vitro fertilisation with ova from an anonymous donor provides an opportunity to have offspring for women who:

– have no active ovarian reserve and/or are menopausal,

– have experienced premature ovarian insufficiency,

– have a history of failed in vitro fertilisation attempts or multiple miscarriages.

– have undergone ovarian removal surgery,

– have a genetic disorder that prevents pregnancy

– have undergone cancer therapy

How patients see us

I would like to wholeheartedly thank the ARTVIMED staff for making our dream of becoming parents come true. Our beloved baby son was born on 15 May this year.

Thanks to the physicians at the clinic, the whole IVF procedure was successful on the first try 🙂 We received the best care at each step. I had the opportunity to meet several doctors at the clinic during my appointments, and each one proved to be an outstanding professional.

Thanks to the Doctor, we welcomed our son into the world 2 weeks ago.

We found this doctor after several years of struggling to conceive a child and being treated by specialists who knew nothing about infertility. The doctor immediately outlined a definite plan of action, ordered the right diagnostic tests, and referred us to the hospital for testing. As a result, the treatment progressed in the right direction.[…]

The best doctor we could have come across; she managed our pregnancy with great commitment.

Patient and taking every moment to help or clear up doubts if necessary. Thanks to the Doctor, we are parents of a 5-month-old miracle baby. Highly recommended

Dr Baran is by far the gentlest, most thorough gynaecologist interested in the patient’s concerns that I have ever encountered.

Immense knowledge of endometriosis, the skills to provide complete ultrasound testing for it and the know how to guide a patient dealing with this unpleasant disease. […]

I highly recommend pregnancy management. My past experience with other doctors was that there was little to be gained from the appointments, the doctors were reluctant to tell me what they saw, unwilling to answer questions, and Ms Joanna answered every single one, demonstrating an enormous amount of patience. Highly recommended.

Although our little sunshine is already 6 years old, so far, when I look at her, I still have Dr Chrostowski and the Artvimed clinic in my mind… Dr Chrostowski has got that something about him that, when you are in his office, you know that you couldn’t have found a better place. I will always highly recommend ARTVIMED to everyone.

Ps. I still am in awe of how the embryologists work…how they ‘managed’ to create such a miracle… 😉 Thank you for being there

We would like to thank the entire ARTVIMED Team – our little miracle was born 2 weeks ago. Many thanks are due, in particular, to Dr Posadzka, through whom the right diagnostic work began, and to Dr Chrostowski, who guided further treatment, punctures, and transfer. I also had the pleasure of dealing with most of the doctors during the course of my diagnosis and each one showed a great deal of support and professionalism. We would also like to thank the Embryology Team – without you, our son would not be here. Thank you for the beautiful work of the whole clinic!
