Once you apply online and are initially approved, we’ll schedule an interview and consultation to review the egg donation process and answer any questions you have.

In order to find like-minded intended parents who may be the right fit for your donation, you will build an anonymous donor profile complete with photos, personality questions, family health history, and other details.

Upon completion, your profile will become active in our private database, where intended parents can view and inquire about a match.

If an intended parent or couple shows interest in you as their egg donor, we will coordinate a match meeting via Zoom, in person, or however you are most comfortable. You will receive their profile as well for your review.

After connecting, a match will commence if you mutually agree to move forward with a journey.

After the match is made, you will complete a psychological screening appointment and a multiple-choice psychological assessment (typically a PAI or MMPI).

During this time, you will also meet with a genetic counselor to review your family medical history and relevant background information, ensuring no genetic incompatibilities or significant risks are present between you and the intended parents.

Before your journey begins, an IVF clinic chosen by the intended parents will schedule your medical screening appointment, including a physical exam, transvaginal ultrasound, and blood work. They will provide official approval for you to safely begin the egg donation process.

Once medically cleared, the legal agreement between you and the intended parents will be drafted and finalized. You will be given clear details regarding travel arrangements, your compensation disbursement, and other important information before you sign.

This is when the main phase of your egg donation journey begins, starting with the baseline appointment. Your clinic will conduct more fertility testing to establish base levels for monitoring your body’s response to the IVF medications you’ll be prescribed.

The clinic will then provide a treatment calendar with clear medication instructions, monitoring appointment dates, and an estimated egg retrieval date.

Over the next two weeks, you will follow the clinic’s provided calendar and take daily medications to assist the egg growth and maturation process leading up to your retrieval. The stimulation medications are typically taken as daily injections with small needles, and birth control is sometimes prescribed to properly time the cycle.

You will attend short monitoring appointments during this period to ensure your body is safely and effectively responding to the medications. You can learn more about the exact medications you may be prescribed here.

At the end of your cycle, you will take a final “trigger shot” to prepare your eggs for the retrieval. 

The egg retrieval itself is a minimally invasive procedure performed under anesthesia or twilight sedation, typically taking around 15-30 minutes. Using ultrasound guidance, fully mature eggs are lightly aspirated using light suction.

Afterward, we recommend taking at least two days off to rest, and our team will be by your side to offer support and give recommendations for making a quick, full recovery.
