Title

Egg reception: a multidisciplinar approach

Objective

Demonstrate, through numbers, the experience of egg reception patients, with a multidisciplinary approach, in a particular assisted reproduction clinic.

Methods

Retrospective analysis of the follow-up of patients who sought an in vitro fertilization treatment with egg reception, highlighting aspects related to evaluation of psychology and nursing.

Results

A total of 131 patients were indicated and underwent a treatment of egg reception between 2021 -2022 in a private reproductive medicine clinic in Belo Horizonte/Brazil. The average age of people who underwent treatment was 43 years. 127 (96,9%) patients did the treatment with anonymous egg donation; 11 (8,3%) patients did the treatment with egg and semen donated; 04 (3,0%) patients did the treatment with egg donation and surrogacy and 03 (2,2%) patients did the treatment with family egg donation. All of them had psychological and nursing consultations. Treatment outcome resulted in 64 (48,8%) positive result in the first treatment and 27 (20,6%) in another attempt; 17 (12,9%) gestational loss; 35 (26,7%) negative results. The patients with gestational loss and negative result had a return with doctor, psychology and nurse, 15 (11,4%) patients decided to take a new treatment and 11 (8,3%) decided gave up treatment.

Conclusion

Receiving donated eggs raises several feelings and doubts about the treatment and its possibilities. When patients are welcomed by a specialized and trained team a space is opened, so that the questions can be verbalized and validated and the acceptance and outcome of the treatment can be more favorable.
