Egg Donor Cycle

Understanding the Egg Donor Cycle

Understanding the egg donor cycle is essential for individuals considering becoming egg donors. At Blossom Fertility, we prioritize transparency and education about the egg donation process to ensure donors are informed and prepared for their journey.

Egg Donor Pre-Cycle Preparation

Initial Consultation:

Start by completing our online application form, providing essential information about yourself, your health history, and your motivations for becoming an egg donor.

Medical Evaluation:

Undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation, including blood tests, genetic screening, and fertility assessments, to determine your eligibility for the egg donation cycle.

Egg Donor Cycle Ovarian Stimulation

Ovarian Stimulation Medication:

Upon approval and clearance from our medical team, you’ll begin taking ovarian stimulation medication to promote the development of multiple egg follicles.

Monitoring:

Regular monitoring appointments will be scheduled to track follicle growth and hormone levels through ultrasound and blood tests.

Egg Donor Cycle Retrieval Procedure

Trigger Shot:

When follicles reach optimal maturity, you’ll receive a trigger shot to prepare for egg retrieval, typically scheduled 36 hours later.

Egg Retrieval:

The egg retrieval procedure is a minor surgical process performed under sedation, where eggs are retrieved from mature follicles using a thin needle.

Egg Donor Cycle Post-Retrieval Care

Recovery:

After the egg retrieval procedure, you’ll rest in our recovery area until fully awake and ready to go home.

Follow-Up Appointments:

Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your recovery and well-being post-retrieval.

Fertilization and Embryo Transfer (if applicable)

Fertilization:

Eggs retrieved are fertilized with sperm from the intended parent or donor in our laboratory to create embryos.

Embryo Transfer:

If embryo transfer is part of the treatment plan, embryos will be transferred to the intended parent or surrogate’s uterus for implantation.
