donor eggs
Donated reproductive cells
Donor eggs are ova provided by one woman for use by another in assisted reproduction.
A woman who cannot produce viable eggs of her own may use donor eggs fertilized with her partner's sperm, carrying the resulting embryo herself.
They decided to pursue IVF with donor eggs after several failed attempts.
The egg donor may be anonymous or known to the recipient.
