Donor Egg & Donor Sperm Treatments
While egg donation and sperm donation treatments are currently not available in Mauritius due to legal restrictions, our Medical Director, Dr Goswamy, provides these services abroad, primarily in India for couples of Indian origin and in Cape Town for other races, where donation is legally practiced. All treatments are conducted with strict confidentiality and full anonymity of donors and recipients.
Donor Egg Treatment
Egg donation is often recommended for women who are unable to produce eggs due to:
- Premature ovarian failure
- Menopause (natural or early)
- Poor egg quality
- Medical treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy
- Surgical removal of ovaries
- Endometriosis or genetic conditions
Donor eggs come from healthy women under 30 who already have a child and no known genetic conditions. All donors are screened for HIV, Hepatitis B & C, STIs, and other health concerns. Blood group and racial characteristics matching is done between the donor and recipient couple.
The recipient’s menstrual cycle is synchronised with the donor’s using oestrogen and progesterone, and embryo transfer is performed once the uterus is ready. Spare embryos can be frozen for future use.
You’ll typically need to stay abroad for 7-10 days during treatment. A pregnancy test is done two weeks after embryo transfer in Mauritius.
In some cases, a “dummy run” may be recommended before treatment to check endometrial readiness via hormone therapy and a biopsy.
Donor Sperm Insemination
Sperm donation is offered for men with:
- Azoospermia (no sperm)
- Genetic conditions
- Failed fertilization with previous treatments
Before insemination, the female partner is assessed via blood tests and ultrasound. We aim to match donor sperm to the male partner’s features: racial characteristics, eye and hair colour, build, ethnicity, and blood group. If that’s not possible, we match based on the female partner. A brief donor profile is also shared with the couple before treatment.
Discreet & Personalised Care
All donor-assisted fertility treatments are performed, in collaboration with Dr. Goswamy abroad, offering confidential and highly personalized experience. Our team will guide you every step of the way, from the initial consultation to post-treatment care.
