Why Choose to Donate Eggs?
Egg donation allows you to help someone build the family they’ve always dreamed of. Many recipients face challenges like diminished ovarian reserve, genetic conditions, or other factors that prevent them from using their own eggs to conceive. Your generosity can help them achieve their goal of becoming parents.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Becoming an Egg Donor
While the hormone injections may cause mild discomfort, most women report that the egg retrieval procedure is not painful due to the use of sedation. You may feel mild cramping or bloating afterward, but this usually resolves within a few days.
Egg donors can donate up to six times in their lifetime. This limit is set by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) to protect the health and well-being of the donor.
No, donating eggs does not affect your future fertility. Each cycle, a woman’s ovaries naturally produce multiple eggs, but typically only one reaches maturity. Fertility medications help more eggs mature, but this does not deplete your future egg supply.
From initial application to egg retrieval, the process generally takes 2-3 months. However, the actual time commitment for the ovarian stimulation and retrieval is around 2-3 weeks per cycle.
Yes, most egg donation programs, including ours, are anonymous. Your identity is protected, and the recipients will not know who you are unless both parties agree to meet.
As with any medical procedure, there are some risks associated with egg donation, including ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and infection. However, serious complications are rare, and our team carefully monitors your health throughout the process.
