An oocyte, oöcyte, or ovocyte is a female gametocyte or germ cell involved in reproduction.

In other words, it is an immature ovum, or egg cell.

An oocyte is produced in a female fetus in the ovary during female gametogenesis.

The female germ cells produce a primordial germ cell (PGC), which then undergoes mitosis, forming oogonia.

During oogenesis, the oogonia become primary oocytes.

An oocyte is a form of genetic material that can be collected for cryoconservation.

Embryo donation is one option for users of in vitro fertilisation with remaining fresh or frozen embryos.

It is defined as the giving—generally without compensation—of embryos remaining after in vitro fertilization procedures to recipients for procreative implantation or research.

Most IVF users with supernumerary embryos make embryo donation decisions after completing their families or discontinuing use of in vitro fertilization.

Recipients of embryos donated for procreative implantation typically plan to transfer fresh or frozen embryos into a prepared uterus in order to facilitate pregnancy and childbirth.

Recipients of embryos donated for research typically use them for clinical training, quality improvement research, or human embryonic stem cell research.

Intended parents attend the birth of their child by a gestational surrogate.

Surrogacy is an arrangement, often supported by a legal agreement, whereby a woman agrees to delivery/labour on behalf of another couple or person, who will become the child's parent(s) after birth.

People may seek a surrogacy arrangement when a couple do not wish to carry a pregnancy themselves, when pregnancy is medically impossible, when pregnancy risks are dangerous for the intended mother, or when a single man or a male couple wish to have a child.

In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a process of fertilisation where an egg is combined with sperm in vitro ("in glass").

The process involves monitoring and stimulating a female's ovulatory process, removing an ovum or ova (egg or eggs) from their ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a culture medium in a laboratory.

After the fertilised egg (zygote) undergoes embryo culture for 2–6 days, it is transferred by catheter into the uterus, with the intention of establishing a successful pregnancy.

Infertility is the inability of a person, animal or plant to reproduce by natural means.

It is usually not the natural state of a healthy adult, except notably among certain eusocial species (mostly haplodiploid insects).

It is the normal state of a human child or other young offspring, because they have not undergone puberty, which is the body's start of reproductive capacity.
