IVF using donor embryos 
IVF using donor embryos
Embryo donation in Prague
IVF involves joining a woman’s egg and man’s sperm outside the woman’s body. For couples who fail to conceive using their own germ cells, donated eggs and sperm from suitable anonymous donors will be used for IVF.
Book a consultation-
When a man has a low sperm count or poor-quality sperm and the woman meets one of the following conditions:
-
When the woman suffers from primary ovarian insufficiency or has no ovaries at all
-
When the woman has a low oocyte count or poor-quality oocytes
High success rate
We are very pleased that we have been able to consistently achieve a high success rate and make our clients happy parents. Your happiness is our greatest reward.
Professional care and a human approach
The size of the clinic allows our medical specialists to approach each patient individually and guide couples through the treatment process or IVF, right through to pregnancy.
We have our own donation programme
All donors are young and healthy men and women. The donation programme is voluntary and anonymous, and, by law, a child born this way has no right to learn the identity of the donors even after reaching the age of 18.
We won't keep you waiting
We completely understand your situation and we want to help you solve things right away. The whole process takes place within approx. 2 months.
Course of treatment
Egg and sperm donation are legal in the Czech Republic and subject to strict control by state authorities. Egg donors are healthy women aged from 18-35, sperm donors are healthy men aged from 18-40. All donors undergo thorough medical examinations to assess their physical and mental health. Genetic testing (screening) is an integral part of these examinations, which reduces the probability of certain genetic abnormalities in both egg and sperm donors, together with tests for sexually transmitted diseases (HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, chlamydia in donors).
Suitable egg and sperm donors are selected by our doctors on the basis of a jointly completed questionnaire. You will receive non-identifying information about the egg and/or sperm donor that preserves their anonymity (age, appearance, blood group, interests, etc.). Donation is anonymous, and, by law, a child born this way has no right to learn the identity of the sperm or egg donor even after reaching the age of 18.
Egg and sperm donors are compensated for accrued expenses associated with egg or sperm donation.
DAY 1
Preparatory phase
A) In a native cycle
- This utilises your natural menstrual cycle and ovulation.
- An ultrasound scan is performed on the 10-11th day of your menstrual cycle. If the uterine lining (endometrium) is thick enough and there is a large enough follicle on one of the ovaries, an injection is administered, which causes the follicle to rupture.
- Embryo transfer follows 4-7 days later (depending on the stage of development at which the embryos were frozen).
- This form of preparation is used for women with a regular menstrual cycle.
B) In a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycle, i.e. using medication
- Preparation takes place using hormone therapy. This form of preparation is used for women whose menstrual cycle is not regular or if embryo transfer requires more precise timing.
- Hormone replacement therapy, usually in the form of pills (e.g. Estrofem 2mg 2x a day) or patches (e.g. Estrahexal) is taken from the 1st day of menstrual bleeding.
- An ultrasound scan will be performed to measure the thickness of the uterine lining (endometrium) on the 12-14th day of your menstrual cycle.
- Embryo transfer will follow in 3-5 days (again depending on the stage of development at which the embryos were frozen).
- If the endometrium is not thick enough, you will continue taking medication and the ultrasound scan will be repeated.
DAY 1-14
Embryo transfer
Embryo transfer
- The transfer of the embryo or embryos into the uterus is performed without anaesthesia using a thin flexible catheter (tube), the end of which is guided by ultrasound for precise placement.
- The transfer is completely painless.
- The embryos are injected into the uterine cavity with a small amount of liquid (culture medium).
- You will then rest in bed for about 10-15 minutes and will be subsequently discharged from the clinic.
DAY 20
After transfer
Regimen after transfer
- Rest is recommended for 1-2 weeks after embryo transfer (no strenuous physical activity, sexual intercourse, or hot baths).
- You can go back to your normal routine after 1-2 weeks, but we still recommend avoiding strenuous physical activity.
- Take your medication regularly as indicated in the discharge report.
Pregnancy test, medication and monitoring pregnancy
- Have a pregnancy blood test 14 days after embryo transfer and let us know the result.
- If the pregnancy test is positive, continue to take the prescribed medication until the 12th week of pregnancy and make an appointment for an ultrasound (in approximately 10-14 days) with your doctor.
- After the 12th week of pregnancy, gradually taper and discontinue the medication as recommended by your doctor.
- Standard prenatal screening also takes place, together with a check-up at your gynaecologist´s.
- If the pregnancy test is negative, stop all medication and contact us. We will discuss the next steps with you and plan for the transfer of your frozen embryos.

We will suggest suitable methods following an initial consultation with a doctor. In the meantime, you can compare their effectiveness.
KIR genes and HLA-C testing
KIR and HLA-C testing helps to reveal whether the embryo's surface antigens can activate the cells responsible for the proper implantation process in the uterus.

Sanakin® (ACRS – Autologous Conditioned Serum Rich in Cytokines) is a modern laboratory method that uses the patient's own blood.
