Abstract:
Donated oocytes inseminated with partner's semen or donated embryos were transferred on 95 occasions in 28 women without ovarian function and in 21 with functional ovaries. Overall, 22 pregnancies were established, 13 after the transfer of fresh embryos and nine after the transfer of frozen-thawed embryos. Eleven of the pregnancies were established in women without ovarian function and 11 in women with functional ovaries. Nine of the pregnancies were established with donated oocytes inseminated with partner's semen and 13 with donated embryos. Fifteen healthy infants were born including one set of twins; three pregnancies are progressing normally and five miscarried.
