WHAT IS OVUM AND WHAT WE DO We are a group of consultants gynaecologists, biologists and midwives that have long and wide experience in the field of infertility with special interest on egg donation programmes. OVUM runs one of the largest egg donation programmmes in Greece co operating with IVF centres that fully comply with Greek legislation and the Greek Authority for Assisted Human Reproduction service standards. We provide:
THE OVUM POINT The traditional concept of motherhood where the genetic (giving her DNA), physical (giving birth) and social (raising) mother is one and the same person is gradually evolving. Women and couples who reach the difficult decision to use donated eggs (or sperm), are persons determined to become parents “at all cost”. OVUM stands next to these women and couples to support encourage and assist their endeavour to have a healthy child, paying particular attention to the welfare of the child itself. WHO NEEDS DONATED EGGS AND WHY Some women need to receive donated eggs to become pregnant. Women who despite treatment with maximal doses of infertility drugs in IVF are unable to produce enough eggs to give a reasonable chance of pregnancy. Women whose ovaries stop functioning at much earlier age than might be expected (less than 40 years old). These are women with premature ovarian failure/premature menopause and have no eggs. Women who are carriers of diseases such as Haemophilia or Duchene’s Dystrophy. These diseases are passed on by women to male children. Rather than risk having an affected child a woman may opt for donated eggs. Women older than 45 years old. Women with repeated failure in previous IVF treatments. FERTILITY TREATMENTS AVAILABLE Apart from standard treatments (IVF, ICSI, Blastocyst transfer, Assisted Hatching, Surgical sperm retrieval) a wide range of options are available:
Our work is fully orientated and tailored around patients seeking treatment abroad. We offer
Egg donation is well acknowledged in international literature as the form of fertility treatment providing the best results as compared to standard IVF/ICSI. As success mainly depends upon the age of the donor and the accuracy of cycle co-ordination, OVUM has excellent results to report, well above the national average of several European countries. We document our results on a 6monthly basis and we persistently reach more than 70% additive positive clinical pregnancy rate in 3 treatment cycles. An updated and structured copy of our results is enclosed in each information pack. A regularly updated page with detailed results figures per age group may also be found on our website |
