How long is the egg donation process?The egg donation process typically takes about 2 to 3 months from the initial application to the actual egg retrieval. Here's a general timeline: 1. Application & Screening (2-6 weeks) Complete an online application. Undergo medical, genetic, and psychological screenings. Match with Intended Parents. 2. Medication & Monitoring (2-4 weeks) Start birth control to synchronize cycles. Begin hormone injections to stimulate egg production. Attend monitoring appointments (bloodwork & ultrasounds). 3. Egg Retrieval (1 day, with recovery) Undergo a minor outpatient procedure under sedation. Recovery usually takes a day or two. After retrieval, many donors resume normal activities within 24-48 hours. However, some experience mild bloating or discomfort for a few days.
Egg donors are compassionate individuals who provide hope to intended parents facing infertility and LGBTQIA+ couples looking to start a family.
