One Way to Overcome Secondary Infertility

As a parent, your day-to-day life is filled with numerous small battles like missing stuffed animals, spilled cups of milk, and arguments over whether your child is tired enough to take a nap.

While you’re caught up in these minor issues, it can be difficult to consider major problems that might arise—like secondary infertility.

When you’ve successfully had a child and are interested in having another, you don’t think you’ll be considering IVF treatments or visiting websites like Donoreggbankusa.com to educate yourself on donor eggs.

Unfortunately, approximately 3 million women in the United States struggle with secondary infertility at any given time. With such prevalence amongst hopeful parents, it’s crucial to find a variety of treatment options to help you achieve the family of your dreams.

One of the most successful options for many women is frozen donor egg IVF.

Who are the Ideal Candidates for Donor Egg IVF Treatment?

Most women don’t think of egg donation as their top choice in treating their secondary infertility. If there’s a chance of conceiving with their own eggs, that’s the route most will take.

However, in certain situations, a woman’s eggs are simply no longer viable or safe for pregnancy.

For instance, if a woman is trying to get pregnant after 40, there’s a significant chance her egg quality or the number of eggs available has dramatically diminished. Additionally, it would be more likely she could suffer a miscarriage or stillbirth if conception does occur.

For reasons such as these, many fertility specialists like Cryos International suggest women over 40 consider using donor eggs as a safer, more successful method of getting pregnant.

There are several other reasons a woman might benefit from donor egg IVF, including:

  • Early-onset menopause
  • Premature ovarian failure
  • Genetic conditions
  • Irregular hormone levels
  • Multiple IVF failures

How Do You Choose a Frozen Egg Donor?

If you’ve previously conceived a child without assistive reproductive technologies (ART), the realization you suddenly need them can be overwhelming.

This is especially true when a woman discovers she can’t use her own eggs to get pregnant.

RELATED: The Answer to “When Are You Having Kids?”

It’s understandable that an individual or couple may struggle with figuring out how to go about choosing a frozen egg donor. Thankfully, reputable clinics and organizations like Donor Egg Bank USA make the process as simple as possible.

Most certified frozen donor egg storage facilities require each of their potential donors to undergo a rigorous screening process before their eggs can be collected. This part of the egg donation experience involves medical screenings, background checks, psychological examinations, drug tests, and more.

Once they’ve passed the various screenings, their eggs are collected and cryogenically frozen using a state-of-the-art technology known as vitrification. This process eliminates the possibility of ice crystal formation and prevents the eggs from deteriorating during storage.

To choose their donor, individuals and couples will be given information about each donor. This includes physical traits, family and medical history, education, and professional experience. After the intended parent decides what they’re looking for in a donor, they can choose a candidate who meets their requirements.

Winning Your Battle with Secondary Infertility

Once a frozen egg donor has been chosen, the hopeful mother will undergo a traditional IVF cycle. This will include medical screenings, a protocol of medications (often progesterone and estrogen), monitoring, egg fertilization, and finally, their embryo transfer.

With any hope, this transfer will lead to the new baby your family has worked so hard to have.

Across the nation, there is an approximate success rate of 52% with donor egg IVF; this is higher than any other infertility treatment option. When a mother or couple is desperate to add to their family, these odds simply can’t be beaten.

There’s no denying that secondary infertility is a difficult road to travel. While it may not be the experience you imagined when you decided to give your little one a brother or sister, it’s not one riddled with impossibility.

Thanks to advanced treatments like frozen donor egg IVF, having more children is still entirely plausible. The way you get to them might just be a little bit different then you were expecting.
