egg donation
Reproductive cell transfer
Egg donation is the process by which a woman provides her eggs to another person or couple for assisted reproduction.
The donor undergoes hormonal stimulation and a medical procedure to retrieve eggs, which are then fertilized and implanted in the recipient.
They conceived through egg donation after years of infertility.
The resulting child is genetically related to the donor, not the birth mother.
