Can a missed abortion occur in IVF with donor eggs?

By Silvia Azaña Gutiérrez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 12/02/2022

Yes, it is true that the risk of miscarriage may be reduced in oocyte donation if the woman is of advanced maternal age, as eggs from a young donor are used. However, the risk of miscarriage would be around 25%, so it can occur.

It should be clarified that a missed or missed abortion is a gestational loss in which the embryonic remains are not spontaneously expelled.
