Examples
In modern ART facilities, donor eggs are sometimes obtained from "egg banks," which preserve oocytes from young, healthy donors who get compensation for undergoing stimulation and oocyte retrieval. 
Oocytes in these procedures were retrieved from either a donor or the female patient in the couple and used for ICSI both fresh after oocyte pickup or devitrified.
