Egg donation is a safe and common procedure by which a woman provides her eggs to intended parents. Donating your eggs may help a woman become pregnant who would otherwise be unable to start a family.
If you are considering becoming an egg donor, we commend your generosity and understand you may have concerns. Here are three important questions to ask before you become an egg donor.
Question 1: Do I Have A Complete Enough Health History To Become An Egg Donor?
Sharing information about your health and family is an integral part of the egg-donation process. If you were adopted, you may not be accepted by a donor program unless you can provide medical records for both yourself and your biological family.
It’s important that you feel comfortable sharing your medical history as part of the process. Providing an incomplete history will delay your application, so be forthcoming when you first apply.
Question 2: How Much Time Is Involved?
The initial screening process to become an egg donor takes a few weeks on average. Once you’ve been selected as a donor, the procedure itself takes about two to three weeks.
During the first two weeks, you’ll come in 7 to 10 times for ultrasounds and blood tests. Each visit can be expected to last 15 to 30 minutes. On the day your eggs are retrieved, you’ll be at the clinic for three to four hours, and then rest at home for the rest of the day.
Question 3: Will It Impact My Fertility By Depleting My Eggs?
Don’t worry, donating your eggs will not have any impact on your ability to have children of your own in the future. Women have about 2 million eggs at birth. Each month, a group of eggs begins to mature, but the body only selects one for ovulation. The rest are absorbed back into your body.
Fertility medications allow eggs that would otherwise have been absorbed to develop. Rest assured that you will continue to have plenty of eggs in the future.
