Egg Donation Process
Egg Donation: A Guided Journey to Parenthood
The path to becoming an egg donor is both impactful and rewarding, as it helps others fulfill their dreams of parenthood. While the exact duration of the egg donor process can vary, we provide you with a step-by-step guide to help you understand the timeline and stages involved.
Application:
- Begin by filling out the donor application form.
- Provide a comprehensive report of your biological family’s medical and mental health history.
- Submit any necessary documents and childhood photos.
- An ASC egg donation coordinator will review your application, address your inquiries, and explain the next steps. Upon approval, your profile becomes eligible for matching.
Matching:
- Your profile becomes accessible to intended parents.
- If chosen for a match, an egg donation coordinator will connect you with details about the intended parents, their expectations, and clinic location.
- After mutual agreement, your designated coordinator will guide you further.
Screenings & Contracts:
- Psychological evaluation.
- Complete medical assessment at the intended parents’ fertility clinic.
- Collaborate with your attorney to negotiate the egg donor contract, ensuring your rights.
Medications & Egg Retrieval:
- Follow the IVF clinic’s cycle schedule.
- Commence medication regimen.
- Attend local monitoring appointments.
- Travel to the IVF clinic for egg retrieval.
- Receive compensation upon successful retrieval.
Upon obtaining medical and legal clearance, the IVF clinic will provide a schedule for egg retrieval and instructions for medications. Regular appointments monitor the growth of follicles during the 10-15 day hormone injection cycle. The IVF procedure, led by a doctor, collects eggs for fertilization. Your compensation is disbursed after the retrieval process.
Embark on this meaningful journey and be part of creating new families. Your generosity brings hope and joy to others.
