The Egg Donation Process

Once your initial application is approved, you will complete a more comprehensive profile. The profile requires a detailed medical history of you and your immediate family members. Once completed and submitted, our team will review it to determine if you are eligible to proceed to screening.

If accepted as a potential egg donor, you will be invited to begin our streamlined 3-step screening process which begins with meeting our donor care team for an initial consultation to evaluate your overall fertility health, as well as a vaginal ultrasound. If eligible, the process continues with bloodwork, genetic screening, physical exam, and psychological evaluation.

If eligibility requirements are met and you are approved to become an egg donor, one of our donor coordinators will contact you to plan the donation cycle. After a detailed instruction session provided by our nursing team, you will give yourself self-administered injections and have frequent monitoring appointments for approximately two weeks before egg retrieval.

Egg retrieval is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. The procedure is very safe and typically takes about 20-30 minutes. Immediately following the procedure, you will rest in the recovery room for approximately an hour. You will need someone to drive you home from this appointment.

Our priority is the safety, comfort, and well-being of our donors. To ensure this, we will schedule a follow-up appointment consisting of an ultrasound and stimulation review during your next menstrual cycle post-egg retrieval.

You will receive your compensation at this appointment.
