Transvaginal ultrasound-directed oocyte retrieval was performed on eight women functioning exclusively as gamete donors for 10 patients with ovarian failure. Donors included sisters, personal friends, and compensated participants selected by the recipient couple. Oocyte donors underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and transvaginal oocyte aspiration. Thirteen initiated cycles resulted in 11 embryo transfers and six ongoing pregnancies. There were no complications, and all donors stated a willingness to undergo the procedure again. The use of nonanonymous oocyte donation appears both efficacious and efficient and is recommended as an option for achieving pregnancy in women with ovarian failure.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
D009926 Organ Preservation The process by which organs are kept viable outside of the organism from which they were removed (i.e., kept from decay by means of a chemical agent, cooling, or a fluid substitute that mimics the natural state within the organism). Organ Preservations,Preservation, Organ,Preservations, Organ
D010062 Ovulation Induction Techniques for the artifical induction of ovulation, the rupture of the follicle and release of the ovum. Ovarian Stimulation,Ovarian Stimulations,Stimulation, Ovarian,Stimulations, Ovarian
D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D004624 Embryo Transfer The transfer of mammalian embryos from an in vivo or in vitro environment to a suitable host to improve pregnancy or gestational outcome in human or animal. In human fertility treatment programs, preimplantation embryos ranging from the 4-cell stage to the blastocyst stage are transferred to the uterine cavity between 3-5 days after FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.
