Egg Donation
%20(2).png)
In most IVF cases, our couples need egg donors
who play a very important role in the successful outcome
of the surrogacy program. Egg donors are
young, healthy women between the ages of 18 and 30 who voluntarily donate
their eggs to couples without pressure from anyone.
When looking for an egg donor, we take into account the
opinions and requirements of our couples. Their age, physical and
mental health, and educational background are the most important factors
when choosing them.
After confirmation by our doctor, we will perform the following tests:
Blood type and Rh factor
Clinical blood test
HIV antigen/antibody combination
Hepatitis B surface antigen
Hepatitis C antibodies
Syphilis (RPR)
Vaginal flora smear
Cytological investigation
PCR for ureaplasma, mollicutes, chlamydia
Cardiogram
Therapist consultation
COVID-19 test
Coagulation analysis
The egg retrieval procedure takes between 10 and 20 minutes and is performed while the egg donor is under anesthesia, so she will not experience any discomfort. After the procedure, she will remain at the clinic for 2 to 4 hours and then be discharged.
However, it is important to know that not everyone can be an egg donor. In order to be selected as an egg donor, they must undergo many medical tests and, only after confirmation from our reproductive specialist, can they be included in our database. The first step is to have an ultrasound on day 2 or 3 of their menstrual cycle to check if they have a good number of ovarian follicles.
When the egg donor is chosen by our couple and they are ready to start their surrogacy program, we begin the hormone stimulation procedure, which will be monitored by our reproductive specialist. Egg donors begin hormonal stimulation on the second day of their menstrual cycle.
The procedure can take 10 to 14 days, and during this time, our egg donor will follow the procedure protocol. She will undergo ultrasound scans and progesterone and estradiol tests, so that the doctor can monitor the stimulation process and decide when to perform the egg retrieval. Before the egg retrieval, tests and analyses must be performed prior to the puncture.
