Become an egg donor

As a first step, we ask you to fill out a short questionnaire, which will help us assess whether you might be a suitable egg donor. Once we receive the form, a fertility specialist from our clinic will contact you via your preferred method—either by phone or email—and send you some initial information to review.

In addition, we ask that you complete a more detailed health questionnaire, which will help us assess your health status and suitability for donation. A doctor will discuss the results of your previous tests and the questionnaire with you and provide an overview of the next steps in the donation process.

Fill out the preliminary form

Before your eligibility as a donor is confirmed, you will meet with a nurse and a doctor who will explain the entire donation process to you and answer all your questions. As part of the initial health screening, an ultrasound will be performed and an AMH blood test will be taken, which provides an overview of your ovarian reserve and helps assess whether egg donation is medically safe for you. In addition, tests will be performed to screen for infectious diseases (hepatitis B and C, HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia). 

If the results of the tests and health check indicate that you are eligible to be a donor, you will meet with our donor coordinator, who will explain the treatment process, potential risks, and psychological and ethical aspects to you as many times as necessary. At this stage, you will also sign the consent form for donation. Additionally, a blood sample will be taken for chromosome testing.  

The donor begins hormone therapy via injection at the start of her menstrual cycle, which lasts approximately 10–12 days. The goal of the treatment is to stimulate the simultaneous maturation of multiple eggs in the ovaries. During a single donation cycle, you will visit the clinic 2–3 times to monitor the development of the eggs and the progress of the treatment.

Egg retrieval is performed under ultrasound guidance using a needle inserted into the ovaries through the vaginal wall. The egg retrieval procedure is performed under short-acting intravenous anesthesia and typically lasts about 15–30 minutes. 

After egg retrieval, a nurse will monitor how you are feeling in the recovery room for approximately two hours. Due to the medications administered during the procedure, you must not drive for 24 hours. If necessary, the treating physician will issue a sick leave certificate for 1–2 days.

After egg retrieval, our team will stay in regular contact with you. A nurse will contact you within a few days and again in about a week to check on your recovery. If you need further evaluation or experience any discomfort, we will quickly schedule a follow-up appointment for you at the clinic.

Menstruation usually begins 1–2 weeks after the procedure, and by that time, you will generally feel back to normal. The donor receives all test results and an overview of her fertility—this is valuable information that helps her better understand her health and reproductive capacity.

At every stage, we provide clear and understandable instructions, so you know exactly what is happening and what the next steps are. It is important to us that you feel cared for, supported, and safe throughout the entire process.
