Efficacy of sharing oocytes from compensated donors between two recipients
Purpose: To see if sharing of donated oocytes from a compensated donor lowers outcome following embryo transfer compared to recipients keeping all oocytes. Method: Retrospective review. Recipients have the option of keeping all oocytes or sharing to reduce costs. Results: There were equal clinical, and ongoing/delivered pregnancy rates and implantation rates in the two groups. There were almost twice as many frozen embryos available to recipients who did not share for potential future use. Conclusions: Sharing of oocytes between two recipients reduces the financial burden for the recipient without affecting efficacy Such a policy would make more oocytes available to recipients and thus shorten the long waiting times.
