Egg donors must be healthy and within a specific age range (usually between the ages of 21 and 34, but age requirements may vary by clinic.) The American Society for Reproductive Medicine sets standards and criteria for egg donation programs. The primary benefit to women who donate eggs is knowing that they have helped another woman achieve pregnancy. Egg Donors may be paid for their time and effort. The donor may miss several days of work for medical exams, consultations and the egg retrieval. Potential egg donors may be: Anonymous Donors - Many women opt to undergo the egg donation process as anonymous donors. They donate eggs to an infertile woman or couple whose identity also remains anonymous. Anonymous donors are matched as closely as possible to the criteria specified by the prospective recipient. Known Donors - In many cases, the egg donor is a sister, friend, or relative of the recipient. Some recipients recruit donors on their own. Donor Screening & Consultation To start the process, the potential egg donor completes a medical history form and genetic questionnaire. She also submits OB/GYN records and any other significant medical records. The donor and her partner (if applicable) must have psychological screening and blood tests for sexually transmitted and genetic diseases (if applicable.) Egg production The physician prescribes hormonal therapy to stimulate the donor's ovaries to produce multiple eggs. The physician monitors progress through blood tests and vaginal ultrasounds. Egg Retrieval Process This non-surgical procedure is generally performed using intravenous (IV) sedation. The entire egg retrieval takes less than an hour. Egg Fertilization and Transfer After the egg retrieval, the embryologist fertilizes the donated eggs in the laboratory with sperm from the egg recipient?s partner or donor sperm. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the uterus of the recipient.
