Egg Donor Frequent Questions & Concerns
Before making the decision to donate your eggs, it’s normal to have concerns about the process and what happens after you’ve finished your donation.
Below, you will find a list of commonly asked questions or watch the video.
If your application is denied for something such as BMI, but that has since changed, you may be able to reapply using a different email address and including your updated, accurate information.
No. Despite common thought, the medications used and the process to retrieve donated eggs will not affect your ability to conceive in the future provided that the process is uncomplicated by infection, which is extremely rare. With ovarian stimulation, we develop extra eggs that would otherwise go unused, meaning the normal pool of ovarian follicles is not depleted.
No. Despite common thought, the medications used and the process to retrieve donated eggs will not cause early menopause.
Scheduling screenings and examinations are done around your schedule. However, once stimulation begins, we will have to see the donor everyday or every other day for monitoring. We ask that you take the day of the egg retrieval off from work, school, or other commitments.
Egg donors do not pay for the screening, testing, medications, or procedures that occur before or during the cycle. If complications should arise during or after the procedure, those costs would also be covered.
Yes, with a few stipulations. If you use Depo-Provera as your primary form of birth control, six months must have passed since your last injection. We do not need to remove IUDs to donate, but an addition of luteinizing hormone (LH) will be a part of your individual process.
You can still donate eggs if your tubes are tied.
Once a woman donates her eggs, she has no legal property rights to those eggs, nor any offspring that may result from the donation process. Though not biological, the state recognizes the egg recipient/birth mother as the legal mother.
No. However, donors will know the number of eggs retrieved after the procedure.
If you choose an open donation, it’s unlikely you will meet the couple in person, though a video call may be possible. In a closed donation model, we implement thorough measures to maintain the confidentiality of both the donors and recipient couples throughout the process.
Before a donor can donate a second time, the outcome of the first donation must be received. If you wish to donate more than once, we require that you wait at least two months in-between donations. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) sets standards and guidelines for egg donation programs–their guidelines encourage limiting the number of egg donation cycles to 6.
We are also most interested in egg (oocyte) donors who are motivated by the sincere desire to help families become pregnant who may otherwise not be able to.
Because you can make a difference. Being an egg donor can be a life-changing experience for both the intended parents and the donor. While the process requires a time commitment, as well as mental and physical effort from the donor, the gift of parenthood is something that simply cannot be replaced.
Egg donors do receive financial compensation for the time, energy, physical effort, and sacrifice they put into donating their eggs. This payment can be used to help fund the dreams of our donors–whether it is paying for school or funding their own fertility journey. To learn the specifics of compensation, contact our egg donor coordinator.
