Oocyte donation programs face donor shortages. This study details a successful recruitment method using university students, ensuring donor health and informed consent for ethical oocyte donation.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Human Reproduction
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Oocyte donation is a rapidly expanding assisted reproductive technology.
  • A significant challenge in oocyte donation programs is the scarcity of available oocytes.
  • Effective donor recruitment strategies are crucial for program success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and evaluate a methodology for recruiting and selecting oocyte donors.
  • To address the shortage of oocytes by establishing a reliable donor pool.
  • To ensure the safety and ethical integrity of the oocyte donation process.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective donors were recruited from university students aged 18+.
  • Informed consent was obtained following comprehensive counseling.

  • Donors underwent medical history review, gynecological examination, ultrasonography, and extensive blood testing (syphilis, HIV, Hepatitis B/C, coagulation factors, fetal hemoglobin, karyotype).

    • Main Results:

    • Out of 554 initial candidates, 215 (38.8%) were ultimately accepted as donors.
    • Rejection rates included 10.5% for medical history, 7% for gynecological/ultrasound findings, and 4.9% for blood test abnormalities.
    • The described methodology proved effective in selecting healthy, informed donors.

    Conclusions:

    • The described recruitment and screening process for oocyte donors is effective and ethical.
    • University students represent a viable donor population.
    • This methodology offers a sustainable solution to oocyte donor shortages in reproductive programs.
