Donor Programs in Gurgaon

A donor program uses a screened egg, sperm, or embryo donor to help you conceive when your own gametes aren't a workable option. At TheFertilife, Dr. Anshika Lekhi runs these through registered ART banks. The gametes are sourced fresh. Nothing gets reused, and nothing is ever taken from another patient's leftover samples. All of it sits inside India's Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021. The bank recruits and screens every donor. Every donor is anonymous. And the law is firm on one point. A donor can't be a relative or a friend.

To book a donor program consultation, call or WhatsApp +91 9560026697. Dr. Lekhi's team will schedule a time.

"Couples come into this conversation worried about the legal side as much as the medical side, and that's fair — the rules genuinely matter here. I walk through exactly what the ART Act requires before we talk about anything else, so there are no surprises six months into the process." — Dr. Anshika Lekhi

What Are Donor Programs and Who Are They For?

An egg donor program uses eggs from a screened bank-provided donor, fertilized with your partner's sperm or with donor sperm. It's most often suggested for diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian failure, repeated unexplained IVF failure, or when cancer treatment has affected the ovaries.

Sperm donor programs use screened donor sperm for IUI or IVF. These come up after severe male-factor infertility, after repeated failed ICSI cycles tied to sperm quality, or to avoid passing on a serious heritable genetic condition.

Where Do the Donor Gametes Come From?

This is worth being clear about. Donor eggs and sperm come only from a registered ART bank. The bank recruits the donors and screens them. Your own gametes and embryos stay yours. They're used only with your written consent, never otherwise. Every donation is fresh and bank-managed.

Is Using a Donor Legal in India?

Yes. Gamete and embryo donation is legal in India, regulated under the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021. Every donation has to go through a registered ART bank. It's anonymous on both sides, so donors and recipients never learn who the other is. You also can't pick a relative or a friend as your donor. The law rules that out. Buying or selling eggs or sperm is a criminal offense. A donor can be paid back reasonably for her time and effort, but not for the eggs or sperm themselves.

Egg Donor, Sperm Donor, or Embryo Donor: Which Program Fits You?

Egg donor: This usually fits a married woman or couple with diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian failure. It runs through the bank's donor stimulation and retrieval, then fertilization, then the embryo transfer.

Sperm donor: Typically the recipient here is a married couple facing severe male-factor infertility. The donor sample goes through IUI, or through IVF.

Embryo donor: For this one, both egg and sperm factors are limiting either partner's own gametes. The embryo gets created from bank-provided donor gametes, with proper consent.

Eligibility can shift when the rules get updated, so check your own situation with Dr. Lekhi before you assume either way.
