Who are the egg and sperm donors?

Our donors are young people from Poland. We know them in person and have a good work relationship with them. They are the true picture of health, and their decision to donate eggs or sperm was motivated by their desire to help. More often than not, they have already donated blood and bone marrow.

Ultimately, only 3% of the candidates reach the final phase of the donation process. The thorough testing of donors ensures that the subsequent effectiveness of INVICTA treatments is very high.

How are donors qualified for donation?

Comprehensive medical history

We take medical history in the form of an online survey, in which the donor answers about 600 questions. The history questions include information about the candidate’s health and habits, as well as information about illnesses in the family.

Psychological qualification

A psychologist runs psychological tests to rule out mental problems. Additionally, the psychologist has a conversation with the candidate about participating in the programme, their motivations and the potential effects of such a decision on the donor’s present and future life.

Detailed examinations

First of all, female donors are tested for ovarian reserve (AMH and TSH), and male donors are tested for semen quality. This is followed by a health assessment examination and tests for infections. We also conduct genetic testing – we perform karyotyping and cystic fibrosis carrier testing (33 mutations in the CFTR gene) to reduce the risk of genetic disease transmission to the child.

Government-funded IVF program

Since June 1, 2024, a government-funded IVF reimbursement program has been in place in Poland. Its aim is to provide free access to IVF treatment for couples trying to conceive, as well as to enable fertility preservation for oncology patients.
The program covers full reimbursement of procedures and donor material, including:

  • IVF with donor eggs,
  • IVF using your own eggs or donor sperm.

Under the program, you can benefit from at least 6 individualized procedures, including up to 4 IVF cycles using your own eggs or donor sperm, and up to 2 IVF cycles using donor eggs or embryo donation.

To be eligible for government reimbursement, you must be insured under Poland’s public healthcare system (National Health Fund – NFZ).

Guarantee programme

By choosing treatment at the INVICTA Clinic, you can benefit from a guarantee of obtaining an embryo at the blastocyst stage.

If the quality of the sperm used for fertilization meets the required criteria, we guarantee that from 6 fertilized donor eggs at least one blastocyst will be obtained. If no embryo develops, you will receive additional donor eggs free of charge. The procedure is repeated until the guaranteed blastocyst is achieved.

80% of our patients obtained more embryos than the number covered by the guarantee.

* The guarantee does not apply to IVF procedures reimbursed under the government program.

Stories of our recipients

quote

I had undergone IVF with donor eggs at three different clinics before, and only here did I feel for the first time that the whole process could actually be simple. I was surprised by how quickly I could choose a donor — all I had to do was describe my appearance, and the system automatically suggested the best matches. No running around, no long waiting times, no endless emails.

We were pleasantly surprised by how many donor profiles were available. One evening, my wife and I sat down at the laptop to go through everything calmly. It was great that we could add candidates to our favorites, because after a while it became hard to remember which ones we liked the most. In the end, we chose one and reserved the package right away. The whole process took just a moment, with no phone calls or formalities.

Here we respond to your most frequently asked questions

  • Yes. The Infertility Treatment Act, which has been in effect since 1 November 2015, specifically regulates the use of reproductive cells and embryos. It stipulates the rules for qualifying patients and providing treatment with assisted reproduction methods, including insemination and IVF. The most important provisions:

    • The act provides only for the anonymous donation and reception of reproductive cells.
    • Regardless of the number of reserved donor eggs, the doctor decides on the number of fertilised cells.
    • Donor selection is based on the compatibility of phenotypic characteristics with recipients.
    • IVF treatment and insemination require qualification by a doctor at the INVICTA Clinic.
    • In vitro fertilisation and insemination procedures are only possible for a couple (a man and a woman).
  • According to the law, the donation of reproductive cells is anonymous. To ensure the anonymity of our donors, we cannot disclose their image, as this could make them identifiable.

  • According to the Polish Infertility Treatment Act, donating and receiving reproductive cells is anonymous. Donor anonymity means that the donors’ personal information is not disclosed to either the prospective parents or their child. You can only learn about the donor’s blood type, height, eye and hair colour. You will not be able to access the information that might help you determine the identity of the donor.

  • No. Your child, even after they turn 18, will not receive any information that may help identify the donor. They can only learn the year and place of birth of the donor.

  • They can learn the year and place of birth of the donor. They will also gain access to information from the donor’s qualification stage: regarding the donor’s health, including the results of laboratory and medical tests.

  • A phenotype is a set of characteristics of an organism that can be discerned and determined. Phenotypic characteristics, which help find a matching donor, include eye colour, hair colour, hair texture, height, body shape, age, skin, blood type, race and ethnicity.

  • The selection of a reproductive cell donor is made according to the recipient’s phenotype. The selected donor should have an appearance as similar to the recipients as possible and have a compatible blood type. The aim is to make the children resemble their future parents (recipients). Based on phenotypic data, the doctor confirms the similarity between the recipient and the donor of reproductive cells before using the gametes in treatment.

  • Yes. Having reviewed the situation, the doctor may give consent to incomplete phenotypic selection.

  • Yes. Contact our coordinator to help you choose and book the right material.

  • Yes, reservation of the material is free of charge for 48 hours. The payment for obtaining the selected material must be made during this time.

  • The cost of obtaining one package containing 6 eggs from a female donor is PLN 13,000.

  • The cost of obtaining one package containing 1 straw of sperm (IUI/ICSI) from a donor is PLN 1,200.

  • The number of reserved eggs depends on how many children you are planning to have. The success rate of obtaining embryos is high – 80% of patients obtain more than 1 blastocyst from 6 eggs. On the other hand, 75% of couples confirm a clinical pregnancy with the use of frozen donor cells. If you are unsure of the number of cells to be reserved, please contact us.

  • The reserved cells may continue to be stored or returned to the INVICTA Bank. A full package of 6 egg cells can be returned for a refund in accordance with the Bank’s Terms of Service. The Terms and Conditions are available to the User upon logging in and at the Clinic. If the package is incomplete, it can be returned to the INVICTA Bank free of charge.

  • Yes, if the material continues to be stored at the INVICTA Bank. The conditions for making refunds are described in the Bank’s Terms and Conditions available to the User upon logging in and at the Clinic.

  • Yes, you can transfer your reserved package to another bank or clinic. However, this is subject to formalities, preparation, and payment for transportation between the INVICTA Fertility Bank and the clinic or bank of your choice. Please contact us to discuss the details regarding transportation.

    Please remember that at INVICTA Clinic, the success rate of treatment is very high, at 75%. Additionally, as part of the in vitro program, you can take advantage of the embryo guarantee.
