Process of Egg Donation

By definition, egg donation is a process where a woman donates her eggs for another woman so that she can conceive or for research process. Today several fertility clinics suggested this option to help women in conceiving their babies.

Process starts with the assessment of the donor’s ovarian function via blood test and ultrasound and at the same time, donor’s suggested to take birth control pills. Through daily GnRH (Gonadotropin agonists) injection, natural cycle of donor is managed. Routine blood tests and vaginal ultrasound examinations is performed to monitor the progress. The donor’s menstrual cycle is synchronized by the recipient’s cycle to bring this stage at end.

Naturally woman releases only one egg per month and to release number of mature eggs, donor take injections with hormones that helps in stimulation. The donor will need to go frequent blood tests and ultrasounds during the phase of ovarian stimulation in order to monitor the development of follicles. When follicles are fully developed, hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is given to donor that helps eggs to separate from the wall of follicles for retrieval. At this time, recipient’s takes progesterone injections to prepare her body for embryo transfer.

The harvested eggs are combined with the sperm either from male partner’s or from donor. After three to five days, few selected healthy embryos are transferred in the recipient’s uterus via IVF (In Vitro Fertilization).

The entire process seems to be very easier and simpler but it is not so. The fertility medications prescribed during the process has their own side effects which may include mood swings, breast tenderness and hot flashes. In addition the medications used during ovarian stimulation may also cause OHSS (Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome). However with careful monitoring, there is a very less chance of developing OHSS.
