Matching with IPs: Once a donor is approved, they are matched with intended parents based on compatibility and preferences, using comprehensive donor profiles.
Ovarian Stimulation: After a successful match, the donor undergoes ovarian stimulation, taking fertility medications to produce multiple eggs, with close monitoring through regular medical appointments.
Egg Retrieval: When the eggs are ready, a minor surgical procedure is performed under sedation to collect the eggs from the ovaries using a thin needle guided by ultrasound.

Egg Donor FAQs
No, it will not. The process involves retrieving a small number of eggs from your ovaries during a single cycle, leaving plenty for your own future family planning. The body naturally produces multiple eggs each month, and those not retrieved would otherwise be reabsorbed by the body.
No, as an egg donor, you have no legal responsibilities to any child born from your donated eggs. Legal agreements are in place to protect both donors and intended parents, ensuring that all parties understand and agree to the terms before the donation proceeds. These contracts clearly state that donors have no parental rights or obligations.
Meeting between donors and recipients typically only occurs if both parties agree. Most egg donation arrangements maintain donor anonymity to protect everyone's privacy. However, it is important to note that with the availability of genetic testing and ancestry services, there is a possibility that donor-conceived people could discover their genetic origins in the future. While legal measures are taken to preserve anonymity, absolute privacy cannot be guaranteed.
