To help give you an idea of what a potential cycle may look like, we have provided a breakdown of the process. While particulars may vary slightly depending on the protocol designed by the recipient’s clinic, the overall process is very similar. On average a donor cycle ranges from 2-4 months.
Your online application will be sent to a member of our staff who will review your qualifications. Selected candidates will be contacted to schedule an interview and we will address any questions you may about the donation process. We’ll have you complete remaining paperwork needed to activate your donor profile on our network.
Once an intended parent has identified you as a potential donor, we will contact you directly with specific details of the pending match to make sure that the location and time frame of the cycle is feasible with your schedule.
Before you are approved as the intended parents donor, you will be required to undergo psychological and medical testing. This testing is important as it demonstrates that you will be a good candidate to donate eggs.
You will be provided with legal representation to guide you through the donation process prior to entering into an agreement with the intended parents.
Q: How soon will I start?
A: The matching process varies on the number of intended parents viewing the database at any given time. Most intended parents are looking for a donor that matches specific criteria or physical similarity to the family.
Q: Do I have to travel?
A: This depends on the location of the recipient’s clinic. If you decide to match with an out-of-state couple, you will be required to travel on two separate occasions, first for the initial screening appointment which will be an overnight trip, and again for the retrieval week which can range from 5-10 days.
Q: Am I compensated?
A: You will be compensated for your time and commitment to the donation process. We allow our donors to set their own compensation. Compensation for first-time donors often starts around $10,000.
Q: Are there side effects?
A: Many donors go through the process with no side effects; however, some may experience mild mood swings, bloating, and abdominal discomfort.
Q: Will this affect my future fertility?
A: Donating your eggs does not appear to decrease your future fertility. Many studies have been conducted on the long-term health risks of egg donation, but to date, none have produced any findings of long-term health risks.
Q: What risks are involved?
A: There are always risks with any medical procedure. The primary risk with egg donation is Ovarian Hyperstimulation. This can range from mild to severe; however, it is rare and affects only 1-3% of cases. Every effort will be made by the ordering physician to monitor your stimulation closely to avoid the chance of this happening.
