Egg donation

In July, 1978, Louise Brown, the world's first baby to be conceived outside the human body, was born in Britain as a result of the work of the pioneers of IVF, Dr. Steptoe and Dr Edwards.

The first transfer of a fertilized egg from one human to another resulting in pregnancy was reported in July 1983 and subsequently led to the announcement of the first egg-donation-produced human birth on February 3, 1984. This procedure was performed at the Harbor UCLA Medical Center under the direction of Dr. John Buster and the University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine.

First baby following ICSI in Georgia was born in 2004 year. ICSI is generally performed in addition an in vitro fertilization procedure to extract often several oocytes from a woman. This is used when sperm have difficulty penetrating the egg, and in these cases the partner's or a donor's sperm may be used. ICSI is also used when sperm numbers are very low. It can be used for females who have already gone through menopause.  If the fertilization is successful, the embryo will be transferred into the uterus, within which it may implant.
