An evaluation of the efficacy of using oocyte donors aged 36-39
Purpose: To determine if oocyte donors aged 36-39 can provide adequate pregnancy rates for recipients. Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical, ongoing/delivered pregnancy and implantation rates for a group of recipients receiving oocytes from a pilot group of older donors. Results: Comparable pregnancy and implantation rates were found in recipients transferring embryos derived from donors aged 36-39 as recipients using oocytes from donors ≤35. Conclusions: The demonstration of adequate outcome following embryo transfer from embryos derived from fertilization of oocytes from donors aged 36-39 should expand the pool of donor oocytes and reduce the long waiting times for recipients.
