The egg donation process consists of several steps. Initial steps are designed to determine your eligibility for the program, while the remaining steps primarily involve egg production and retrieval.

How To Become An Egg Donor:

1. If you meet the preliminary requirements for donor qualification, contact us to obtain an information packet or complete an online donor application.
2. Once you have completed a donor application, Conceptions will review it. If you qualify, an onsite consultation will then be scheduled to go over your information, conduct a psychological interview, and be sure you understand the commitment and risk involved.
3. If eligible, you will then be enrolled in the Conceptions Donor Egg Program.

Once You Become An Egg Donor:

1. You will be given fertility medications over the course of 7-10 days to stimulate the production of multiple eggs. During this time, your progress will be evaluated by frequent blood levels and ultrasounds to ensure the eggs' proper development.
2. Once your eggs and hormones reach optimum levels, you will receive a different medication called HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) to bring the eggs to final maturity.
3. Approximately 36 hours following the HCG injection, you will undergo egg retrieval via follicular aspiration. This involves the use of a hollow, ultrasound-guided needle to gently remove the eggs from the follicular sacs of the ovaries. You will receive light IV sedation during this procedure and should experience little to no discomfort.
4. Upon completion of the egg donation process, you will receive compensation for your time and generosity.
