Egg Donation Process
The whole cycle takes about 4-6 weeks.
At this time, the following stages happen.
PHASE 1: Psychological Screening
Once you are matched, you will meet with a Mental Health Professional for screening and evaluation.
PHASE 2: Medical Clearance
You will meet with the recipients’ Fertility Specialist for your physical examination and clearance. This assures that you are healthy and fit to be an Egg Donor.
PHASE 3: Legal Clearance
You will receive the legal contracts to inform you of your rights and you will be provided with a lawyer to explain the contract to you and provide legal advice. It will be the recipients’ responsibility to pay for this.
PHASE 4: Egg Donor Cycle Synchronization with Recipient Mother
- You will most likely be placed on birth control pills.
- You will receive instructions on the use of medications and injections in preparation for the egg donor cycle.
- See Egg Donor Medication for more detailed information.
- You will have routine ultrasounds and Doctor’s visits throughout the cycle in preparation for the egg retrieval.
PHASE 5: Egg Retrieval
The eggs are retrieved through a non-surgical procedure, and under sedation. The procedure takes approximately 20-30 minutes.
PHASE 6: Completion of Cycle
After confirmation of retrieval by the physician, fees are sent to the Egg Donor.
