Donor Egg Program in IVF is indicated in a woman with advanced age, premature ovarian failure or diminished ovarian reserve. In this process, the egg donor is given hormonal injections to stimulate ovaries to produce a number of mature eggs which are retrieved and then fertilized with the male partner's sperm. The resultant embryos are transferred to the female partner's uterus.
