Egg Donation Process
Egg Donation Risks
- The egg donation procedure is safe and explained in detail during your phone consultation once you’ve filled out the screening application.
- Complications from an egg (oocyte) retrieval are very rare. However, infection, bleeding, injury to internal structures, blood clots, ovarian hyperstimulation, and complications from anesthesia are possible but unlikely.
- You need to be very careful not to conceive during the month that you donate eggs because we may not retrieve every egg, and you could get pregnant. If you conceive during a donation cycle, you will be at a high risk of conceiving more than one baby. Abstinence around the time of retrieval is the safest approach and most comfortable for your ovaries.
- We expect your next menstrual period to come less than two weeks after retrieval.
