Egg donors are women with an exceptional mental and physical health history.
An egg donation journey is between 90 and 120 days. However, this can take longer depending on the donor’s availability to complete the cycle. Egg donors are required to have excellent communication with their case managers in order to ensure a smooth process and positive experience at our egg donor agency. During your egg donation journey, Road to Baby will ensure that your physical and emotional needs are always met.
Egg Donor Application: Prospective egg donors are encouraged to submit an application to our program. Once your egg donor application has been reviewed, our team will contact you to schedule an interview and determine whether or not you meet our egg donor requirements.
Matching: Once your egg donor application has been received and accepted, our case managers will match you with intended parent(s) who are in search of the special characteristics you have. Our egg donor program offers both anonymous and known egg donations.
Psychological Evaluation: A psychological evaluation will be performed by a licensed psychologist to ensure you are emotionally and mentally able to proceed in your journey as an egg donor.
Medical Screening: You will have your initial medical screening with an assigned IVF physician who will care for you throughout the egg donation process. During this appointment, you will learn how many follicles you have, as well as how you will undergo bloodwork, drug testing, physical exams, and other medical testing to ensure that you are a healthy egg donor candidate.
Legal Contracts: A legal binding egg donor contract will be drafted by attorneys and reviewed by you and your intended parent(s). You and your intended parent(s) will be represented by two separate attorneys throughout the egg donor process.
Medication & Egg Retrieval: You will begin your egg donor treatment after the execution of your legal contract in preparation for the egg retrieval. An injectable medication calendar and instructions will be provided by your IVF physician. The egg retrieval will occur the day following your last set of injections as advised by the doctor. Our egg donor agency will ensure that all travel is booked in preparation to your egg retrieval and that food allowance is disbursed prior to this date.
Recovery: A few hours after your egg retrieval, you will be discharged and placed on bed rest for the rest of the day. Your case manager will be in close communication with you to ensure you are properly cared for and can transition smoothly to your regular day-to-day activities. Egg donors return to their regular daily routines a few days after the egg retrieval.
