Genetically necessary tests must be done, psychiatric tests must be passed (chromosomal analysis, thalassemia and sickle cell anemia, cytstic fibrosis in cases deemed necessary) and the donor’s own health and family history must be examined in detail.

And carefuled to be similar with donor. Hair color, eye color and complexion is decisive characteristic. But patient can share with us the characteristics that she wnats.
In our center donor and reciever’s credentials are kept as secret. Reciever and donor’s credentials are never shared because of law. Strict privacy policy is based on this issue.

When endometrium is enough for baby to settle, embryo transfer is planned. This pretreatment progress is nearly 15-20 days.
When sperm should be given in order to fertilized the eggs? How is the preparation of sperm done?
Sperm is necessary for eggs to fertilized. That’s why, manhas to be in our center and give sperm in the donor’s egg collection day. 3-5 days sexual diet is favorable before this progress. Sperm is taken to a special container with the masturbation method in a private sperm accordance room. Making sperm suitable for processing is done under laboratory conditions and most proper sperms are chosen for insemination.
If man cannot give sperms on the donor’s egg collection day, man can come and give sperm in advance. Sperms which are taken are frozen and kept. In insemination operation, man’s frozen sperms can be used by dissolving.
