Most patients return to work and normal activities the following day. Matched by an intended parent to be their egg donor. We ask that the donor stay in the recovery area afterwards for approximately an hour, after which she can be driven home. 5 Step Process of the Egg Donation Cycle Complete your online application. The eggs are obtained by withdrawing the eggs from each of the follicles. The egg retrieval is done through the vagina by using ultrasound to guide a thin needle into the ovaries. The donor will be given light sedation for the retrieval. Egg Retrievalįor fresh egg donors, the egg retrieval is done at the UH Fertility Center’s Risman Pavilion office in Beachwood. Side effects and possible complications of the medications and the procedure are fully discussed with potential donors at their consultation with the physician. When the ultrasounds and blood test indicate the eggs are ready, a final injection is given to prepare the donor for egg retrieval. The donor’s response to the medications is carefully monitored by vaginal ultrasounds and blood tests. Ovarian Stimulationĭuring the stimulation, an egg donor gives herself hormone medications by injection to encourage multiple egg development. Both the donor and recipient will meet (separately) with one of our IVF nurses for education about their cycles and medication training.
Extra embryos remain frozen for later use. Once the intended parent has prepared her uterus for transfer, the embryo is thawed and placed into her uterus. The eggs are then fertilized, and the resulting embryos frozen in a process called vitrification. The goal of the cycle is to obtain the eggs from the donor. Once selected, the donor is interviewed and screened in person by our staff.Īfter a donor-recipient match has been made, it is time to start the cycle. Only non-identifying information about the donor such as age, physical characteristics, educational background, occupation, personal and family health history is shared with potential recipients. We encourage patients to work with established agencies to identify the egg donor best suited for their specific criteria. Fresh Egg Donationįor “fresh” egg donors, the donor undergoes a cycle of IVF on site here at University Hospitals Fertility Center and creates eggs and embryos only for the recipient intended parent(s). One involves a “fresh” egg donor and the other involves the use of frozen eggs ordered from one of several national egg banks.
There are two kinds of egg donation processes.
