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.

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 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.

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.
