Psychology: Psychological aspects in anonymous and non-anonymous oocyte donation

Abstract: A study, in which 110 patients were screened by a psychoanalyst, included 69 recipients who chose non-anonymous oocyte donation, i.e. they received oocytes from a known donor, most frequently a sister or a close relative. Another 41 recipients received anonymous oocytes, but had to bring a donor. Psychological motivations for either choice are reported, and significant topics such as attitudes towards confidentiality and links to the child are compared.

“…While the oocyte donor's preference for disclosing has been suggested as a factor in disclosure decisions (5), the extent of control in this case by the donor is unknown and little research exists that could enhance understanding in this area.

The differing experiences of known and anonymous donor oocyte recipients and how choice of donor type impacts disclosure is unclear and warrants further investigation.…”

“…For example, Weil and associates questioned 41 anonymous oocyte recipients and reported 26% of the recipients plan to disclose the nature of the conception to their offspring (12), while Pettee and Weckstein found 88% of the 17 known donor recipient's queried plan to inform their child (13).…”

“…Sur le plan psychologique [24][25][26], au cours des tentatives de don d'ovocytes anonyme, nous avons remarqué certaines particularités : les receveuses, par rapport aux patientes FIV, paraissent peu anxieuses. À l'inverse, les donneuses, aussi motivées soient-elles, trouvent assez souvent la tentative pénible tant du point de vue psychologique que physiologique.…”
