[Complications of pregnancy after oocyte donation]

Abstract

Oocyte donation is a remarkably effective method of treatment even in difficult cases, which encourages couples. However the data in literature express an increased risk of complications in pregnancies particularly for older women. Maternal-fetal outcome is fortunately usually favorable. Medical teams must respect the autonomy of informed couples, but also be able to deny access to oocyte donation when age is exceeded or where there are risk factors.
