A donor embryo program is a fertility therapy option where a woman has an embryo, from a donor couple, implanted into her uterus. Couples or individuals who have battled with infertility or genetic concerns can use this program.

Usually, a donor couple's eggs and sperm are used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) to produce donor embryos. The resultant embryos are then placed in freezers and kept there until required. The donor embryo is then transferred to the recipient woman's uterus using a minimally invasive technique after the recipient woman receives hormone therapy to get her uterus ready for pregnancy.

For people or couples who have tried all other forms of fertility treatment and are still unable to conceive with their own eggs or sperm, donor embryo programs may be an alternative. It can also be utilized by individuals or couples who want to avoid passing on a genetic condition to their offspring.
