What is donor egg IVF?
Donor egg IVF means eggs from an egg donor are used to create embryos through IVF. Those embryos may be transferred to an intended parent, a partner, or a gestational surrogate depending on the medical plan, family structure, and legal pathway.
Why intended parents consider egg donation
Egg donation may be discussed because of age-related fertility, low ovarian reserve, prior IVF outcomes, genetic considerations, medical history, same-sex male family-building, single fatherhood, or other circumstances reviewed with a fertility clinic.
Anonymous egg donation in Colombia and Mexico pathways
In Loom’s Colombia and Mexico pathways, egg donation is coordinated as anonymous donation. This means the donor’s identity is not shared as part of the standard process. Clinics and attorneys confirm consent forms, privacy, screening, documentation, and any country-specific requirements.

Intended parents may review available donor information, medical screening, availability, and clinic requirements.
Clinic planning
The fertility clinic advises on testing, retrieval timing, embryo creation, IVF with ICSI when applicable, and transfer planning.
Legal documents
Attorneys review consent, donor agreements, parentage, and documentation needed for the selected pathway.
