title: Indications for oocyte donation.
abstract: Donated oocytes were transferred on 92 occasions to 87 women without gonadal function and 5 with functional ovaries. Twenty-three pregnancies were established (25% pregnancy rate), 9 after transfer of fresh embryos in 30 synchronous donor and recipient cycles and 14 after transfers of frozen-thawed embryos in 62 asynchronous donor and recipient cycles. Twenty-two pregnancies were obtained in agonadal patients (25.3% pregnancy rate) and 1 in a gonadal woman (20% pregnancy rate). Pregnant women were younger than those who did not become pregnant, but the difference was not significant. The pregnancy rate was higher when intra-Fallopian transfer was performed (46%) as compared with intrauterine transfer (21.5%) and when micronized progesterone was given intravaginally (pregnancy rate 30.3%) as compared to intramuscularly injected natural progesterone in oil (pregnancy rate 22%). Twenty healthy infants have been born including one set of twins; four pregnancies miscarried.
