The Egg Donation Process

There are several steps involved in the egg donation process, including:

• Self-injections of hormonal medications – given to induce multiple egg development in a single ovulation cycle
• Menstrual cycle synchronization – creating simultaneous cycles in the egg donor and recipient so that the recipient's uterus is ready to carry a pregnancy after an embryo is created using the donor’s eggs
• Egg Retrieval – a procedure in which a fertility specialist uses an ultrasound-guided needle to gently suction the donor’s eggs from the ovarian follicles

Eggs are transferred to the recipient’s uterus during a separate procedure after they have been fertilized in the lab via in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
