What Is Egg Donation?

Egg donation is a medical procedure where a healthy woman donates her eggs to help another woman conceive. The donated eggs are fertilized with the recipient's partner’s sperm or donor sperm in a lab, and the resulting embryos are transferred into the recipient’s uterus for pregnancy. This process is a crucial option for women facing infertility due to conditions like premature menopause, ovarian failure, or advanced age.

Our Procedure for Egg Donor Will Include:

• Screening and Matching
          * Egg donors undergo medical, genetic, and psychological evaluations to ensure they are fit for donation.
          * The donor is matched with a recipient based on physical and other characteristics.
• Synchronizing Menstrual Cycles
          * Both the donor and recipient's cycles are aligned using medications.
          * The donor takes hormonal injections to stimulate the production of multiple eggs.
• Egg Retrieval
           * Mature eggs are retrieved from the donor's ovaries through a minor procedure under anesthesia.
• Fertilization
          * In a lab, retrieved eggs are fertilized with sperm    
          * Embryos are grown for 3-5 days, and any extra embryos may be frozen for future use.
• Embryo Transfer
          * 1-2 embryos are transferred into the recipient's uterus.  The recipient also takes medications to prepare her uterus for implantation.
• Pregnancy Test
          * A blood test is done after 2 weeks to check for pregnancy.
