Reproductive Treatments in Italy
Egg Donation
When a woman undergoes a portion of the IVF procedure in order to have some of her eggs retrieved, she can subsequently donate those eggs to help someone else with their treatment, research, or training. Women frequently donate their eggs to someone they know, like family members who might not be able to use their own eggs. Others give because it makes them happy to be able to assist a stranger in becoming a mother to a much-needed child. Some IVF patients opt to become egg sharers, donating some of their eggs to another patient in exchange for free or heavily subsidised IVF.
In Italy:
Egg donation is a fertility treatment in Italy where a woman donates her eggs to help another woman conceive. The process involves stimulating the donor's ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs, which are then harvested and fertilized with the recipient's partner's sperm or donated sperm.
Additional:
Italy has strict regulations for egg donation, requiring donors to be between 18-35 years old and undergo extensive medical and psychological testing. Recipients can only receive up to three donations in their lifetime. Anonymity is not allowed.
