OBJECTIVE: To assess whether there is an increased risk of infertility in women that have previously undergone ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval for oocyte donation. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. PATIENT(S): A total of 194 past oocyte donors. INTERVENTION(S): Telephone questionnaire. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Incidence of infertility after oocyte donation. RESULT(S): Of the women who indicated having pursued conception after oocyte donation, 95% (57/60) became pregnant unassisted. Before oocyte donation, 41 women in this cohort had already been trying to conceive, of which 38 had delivered a child and 3 (7.3%) had needed infertility treatment. CONCLUSION(S): The data suggest that oocyte donation does not affect short-term reproductive health.
