  OHSU Infertility Program

Becoming an egg donor requires a time commitment and a responsibility to follow through with the procedures outlined by our physician. This process requires taking injectable medication to stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs, and monitoring your response by ultrasound and measurement of blood estrogen levels. An ultrasound guided office procedure is performed to retrieve your eggs with sedation by an anesthesiologist. During the egg donation cycle monitoring appointments of 15 -20 minutes will be needed. This happens during a window of about 10 -14 days and will require you to come into the clinic between the hours of 7:30 am and 10 am. for about 4 to 5 times. A flexible schedule for these 15 -20 minute appointments is very helpful. We are sensitive to the fact that donors are making a sacrifice of time and a commitment to their recipients so the clinic opens each morning at 7:30 a.m. to accommodate donors who may need to get to work or school on time. You will need to take a day off from work or school on the day of the egg retrieval. You are welcome to have someone accompany you during the egg donation cycle appointments including the egg retrieval. You will also need someone to drive you home after this procedure as you will have been sedated, and cannot drive.

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection is now an established technique for the treatment of male based infertility in the context of assisted reproduction. Originally developed by groups in Norfolk, Virginia, and Belgium, it has gained international recognition. Encouraged by worldwide success, the IVF lab at OHSU helped pioneer the technique in the Northwest in 1994.

ICSI is particularly of benefit to patients with severe male-factor infertility. It enhances the likelihood of fertilization in even the most difficult of cases, including extremely low sperm counts and motility's, sperm abnormalities after vasectomy reversal, and sperm recovered from epididymal or even testicular aspiration.

The technique is based on depositing or "injecting" a single sperm into the egg, thereby bypassing many steps in the fertilization process. ICSI has proven that these steps are not required for successful fertilization, the establishment of a pregnancy, and the birth of a healthy baby.

Oregon Reproductive Medicine

IVF involves removing eggs and sperm from the body, combining them in the laboratory to achieve fertilization, and then transferring the resulting embryos back into the uterus through the cervix. Candidates for IVF include women with tubal disease, unexplained infertility, and male factor infertility.

OK, you've decided to seek help after unsuccessful attempts at conceiving a child. One of the first things a specially trained reproductive health care team will do is thoroughly assess each partner's reproductive system. In addition to looking at the couple's history, a series of tests initially determines whether or not all the integral parts of each partner's reproductive system are working properly. The assessments include: uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix, and the sperm quantity and quality for the male partner. Once the team has diagnosed the problem (if any), we then discuss treatment options with the couple -- helping them take an active role in the decision-making process about their health care choices.

Once all the tests have been completed and a couple decides to pursue treatment, it's time to enhance chances of conception. Depending on diagnosis, we will increase the number of eggs that are released from the ovaries starting with first oral medications and then moving to injectable medications if oral were unsuccessful. If these more simple forms of treatment do not work (or they are not suitable for the diagnosis), we must move to the next level of treatment: in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Northwest Surrogacy Center

NNorthwest Surrogacy Center supports your desire to assist a family in their pursuit of becoming parents. It is an incredible gift that will bring joy to another family for years to come. Our goal is to find and match our surrogates with the ideal intended parents to ensure a pleasant and mutually beneficial experience.

Whether you are in search of an intended family or have already established a relationship with an intended family, we bring over fifteen years of working with experienced and highly qualified legal and medical professionals to assist you. A unique aspect of our services is our ability to provide structure and flexibility to enable you and the intended parents to design your own program and relationship by providing the outline and tools to allow you to do so.

Most intended parents want to have contact with their surrogate during the pregnancy because they want to experience as much of the pregnancy as possible. They would love to be invited to attend your obstetrical appointments, ultrasounds, and the birth. Surrogates and intended parents vary in their desire for a continued relationship after birth. Some families and surrogates become very close and choose to continue their relationship. Others choose not to have much contact. NWSC tries to match families with surrogates who desire the same level of future contact.

Most first time surrogates receive a base fee of $20,000, but in addition, you will also receive payments for the mock cycle, embryo transfer, a monthly allowance, maternity clothing allowance that will increase your fee to approximately $24,000. There are also other amounts paid to you for various items, such as an additional fee for carrying multiples, additional fees for undergoing a cesarean section or invasive procedures, and medical and life insurance if you do not have coverage. If you are required to reduce your work hours because of the pregnancy or are placed on bed-rest you will receive lost wages, childcare, and housekeeping. Intended parents will also pay the expenses for your medical and psychological screening, medical expenses at the fertility clinic, uninsured medical expenses during pregnancy, counseling, and attorney fees.
