Medical Testing for Egg Donors

The medical process leading to the actual egg donation starts with the synchronization of your cycle with the recipient parent’s cycle. You will take daily injectable medications to suppress or delay your natural cycle.

Once the cycles are synchronized, you will start a different injectable medication to stimulate your ovaries into developing multiple eggs.

You will be managed closely by a physician certified in this area of practice. You will undergo blood tests and vaginal ultrasounds throughout the “stimulation” process to monitor your progress. Once the follicles (the part of the ovary that contains the eggs) are mature, you will receive a final injection of a medication that will finish the maturation of the eggs.

36 hours after this injection, you will undergo the egg retrieval under mild sedation.

During this sedation, a needle will be passed through the vaginal wall to aspirate the eggs from each ovary.

A registered nurse and physician will be present with you throughout the procedure. You will be released to go home shortly after the procedure. Due to the sedation given, you will need a friend or family member to drive you home.

The average cycle from start to finish lasts 6 to 8 weeks. Upon completion of the retrieval, Compassionate Beginnings  LLC will compensate you financially for your time and efforts.

Although uncommon, there are risks associated with taking these injectable medications and the retrieval process. The physician caring for you during this cycle will explain the possible side effects and any risk involved.
