Combined program (own IVF cycle + Frozen egg donation)

The combined in vitro fertilization program combines your own IVF cycle with the use of frozen donor eggs. It is the optimal solution for patients who want to increase their chances of pregnancy. This approach makes it possible to simultaneously use one’s own oocytes and provide a backup option with high-quality donor material.

Who Is the Combined Program Suitable For?

This program is designed for women who want to utilize all the possibilities of modern reproductive medicine to achieve pregnancy. It is an optimal choice in the following cases:

1. Limited ovarian reserve. If the number or quality of your own eggs is reduced, an additional supply of frozen donor oocytes can significantly increase the effectiveness of treatment.
2. Previous unsuccessful IVF attempts. The use of two approaches simultaneously increases the likelihood of successful embryo implantation.
3. High risk of receiving a small number of oocytes. The body of some women produces an insufficient number of eggs even after stimulation, so it is important to have additional donor material.
4. Genetic risks. If there is a threat of transmission of hereditary diseases, the possibility of using donor oocytes provides additional protection.

Main Stages of the Combined Program

The initial stage involves a consultation with a reproductive specialist, during which the expert assesses the patient’s reproductive system, identifies potential risks, and determines the most effective treatment strategy. Next, ovarian stimulation is prescribed to obtain an optimal number of the patient’s own eggs, which will later be used for fertilization.

At the same time, donor oocytes are carefully selected. To guarantee the best possible result, the selection is based on phenotypic characteristics and genetic compatibility.

After obtaining your own eggs and preparing donor oocytes, the fertilization stage begins. In the laboratory, oocytes are combined with the sperm of a partner or donor, after which embryologists monitor the development of embryos, selecting those with the best characteristics. And then the most important thing happens – the transfer of the embryo into the uterine cavity. The doctor chooses the most promising embryo for implantation. If necessary, the rest of the high-quality embryos can be saved for future use.

And the final stage is the support of the luteal phase, which contributes to the implantation of the embryo and the further development of pregnancy. 10-14 days after the transfer, a pregnancy test is performed to determine the success of the procedure and allow for further monitoring of the woman’s condition.

Advantages of the Combined Program (own IVF cycle + Frozen egg donation)

What does the combined program offer? First, it maximizes the chances of success. The combination of the patient’s own eggs and donor oocytes significantly increases the likelihood of pregnancy. Second, it provides the option to choose between embryos. Doctors can select the highest-quality embryos, regardless of their origin.

One should not forget about psychological comfort. The patient retains the option of using her own oocytes, but at the same time has a backup option. Moreover, the use of frozen donor eggs is less costly compared to performing a new donor stimulation cycle.
