No, I don’t think so, because the egg still needs to be fertilized by a sperm cell to develop into an embryo.

Now if the sperm cell were from the same donor I don’t know what would happen

Probably nothing special except some inbreeding with the loss of 25% of genetic material of the donor individual (each gamete containing a random 50% of the donor's genetic material). Not sure how fast this level of inbreeding would be deleterious.
