Pretoria - More and more families affected by fertility problems have turned to egg donations as their preferred option of having children, saying they not only give them the chance to have babies, but also provide them with the chance to experience pregnancy and give birth.

The highly sensitive procedure is carefully controlled in South African facilities and is highly recommended across the world, Pretoria fertility expert Dr Becky McCullum said.

“The environment under which it is done is strictly controlled - stringent testing is carried out for both donor and recipient and discretion is granted,” she said.

The process involves a willing woman putting herself up as a potential donor; conditions attached include submitting to the required tests and being committed to the process once it starts.

At the end of their role, they would have provided a mother with eggs ready for ovulation in a trend described as highly beneficial to many families who might have lost hope.

“What we offer here is a chance at a pregnancy, we give a chance in a situation where there is none. We facilitate hope,” Baby2Mom founder Jennie Curry said
