Donor Eggs & Miscarriage Risk

Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month

October invites remembrance—and also questions that weigh heavy on the heart. If you’ve faced the heartbreak of miscarriage, you may wonder: could using donor eggs lessen the chance of going through that pain again? For many intended parents, the answer is yes.

Why donor eggs can make a difference
At Futura, our donors are carefully chosen for their health, compassion, and readiness to give. Their eggs are biologically young—often in their twenties—offering a higher chance of creating chromosomally normal embryos. This can significantly reduce miscarriage risk compared with embryos created from older eggs. Research has long shown that early pregnancy outcomes depend more on the age of the egg than the age of the uterus. That’s why donor-egg IVF can be such a powerful option for many families.

When donor eggs may help most

• Losses linked to chromosomal issues: If testing shows that prior miscarriages were due to abnormal embryos or embryo implantation, younger donor eggs can greatly improve the odds of a healthy embryo.

• Multiple IVF cycles without success: When egg quality is a limiting factor, donor eggs can bring renewed hope—and more viable embryos per cycle.

What to remember
While donor eggs can shift the odds, they can’t remove every risk. Miscarriage can result from uterine, hormonal, immune, or male-factor causes. At Futura, we believe in understanding every possible factor before beginning your cycle so we can give you the best chance for success.

Your journey, your choice
For some, using donor eggs is a deeply emotional decision; for others, it’s a clear next step. Either way, it’s an act of love and resilience. At Futura, we walk with you—offering clarity, compassion, and a path forward when loss has clouded the way.

If you’re considering donor eggs after miscarriage, our team is here to review your history, explain your options, and guide you toward the possibility of a healthy, sustained pregnancy.
