Egg Donation Can Help People Start a Family When Other Methods Fail
Egg donation is one method prospective parents could consider when other fertilization methods are not working. This method involves collecting viable eggs from a donor and using the father’s sperm to fertilize the eggs. Once the eggs are fertilized, the embryos are inserted into the mother using in vitro fertilization processes. During this process there is often more than one egg inserted. As a result, it is possible for the mother to become pregnant and carry more than one baby to term. Happy Endings Are Possible for Prospective Parents Using Egg Donation Using egg donation methods can lead to happy endings for our prospective parents. For instance, in February of this year, one of our clients gave birth to healthy baby twins. The birth of the twins was the direct result of the parents deciding to use donated eggs to start their family. The babies were born at 35 ½ weeks gestation. The first twin weighed 5 pounds 15 ounces and the second twin weighed 5 pounds and 4 ounces.

Once a match is made and confirmed, the donor goes through a series of medical evaluations and tests to ensure she is able to provide you with viable eggs. Once her medical status is confirmed, she will begin her egg donation cycle. An Egg Donation Cycle Takes about Six Weeks before Egg Donor IVF Procedures Occur The complete egg donation cycle used with egg donor IVF procedures takes about six weeks before the retrieval process is scheduled. During the last three weeks of the cycle, your donor is required to take a series of medications which are used to stimulate egg maturation. A few days before the actual retrieval process, depending upon your decision, either the donor or you will travel to the location of the IVF clinic. After the eggs are collected from your donor, they are fertilized and transferred to your uterus.

The Egg Donor Process Is Not Always a Quick and Fast Process
Some people might have misconceptions about the egg donor process. They could believe you register, become a donor, go in and donate your eggs and everything is completed in a relatively short period of time. However, this is inaccurate and not a correct assessment of how this process actually works. Initially, you do apply to be a donor and go through a qualification and interview process. Once accepted as a donor you then complete a donor profile to assist in matching you with prospective parents. It can take several months before a match is made. The Actual Egg Donor Process Is Performed After You Have Been Matched After you have been matched with a prospective parent, the next step is to undergo a medical evaluation to determine the best time to start your cycle for the egg collection. During this time you have to be available for medical appointments, as well as the actual egg donor process. You may even have to travel out of town to the recipient’s location to complete the egg collection. It is at the end of the cycle when the eggs are collected and donated to the recipient.

Couples Having Problems Starting a Family on Their Own May Use Donor Eggs
Prospective parents might become frustrated when they are having problems starting a family. Sometimes a woman’s own eggs are not viable for one reason or another where they can be fertilized and turned into embryos. One option couples consider is using donor eggs as a method for starting their families. The man’s sperm is used to fertilize the eggs collected from the donor using in vitro fertilization methods. What Happens to My Donor Eggs After They Have Been Collected? After your donor eggs are collected, they are turned into viable embryos for the recipient and inserted using in vitro fertilization. Oftentimes extra eggs are during the donor collection process and what happens to them is entirely up to the recipient, not the donor. This is because all of the eggs are fertilized using sperm and turned into embryos. The recipient may decide to have the eggs frozen for a future process, donated for clinical research or destroyed.
