Healthy
women aged 21-31 may qualify to be a donor for our anonymous egg
donor program.
To
help us determine your eligibility for the program, please complete
the confidential questionnaire by visiting: http://www.vcrmed.com/donate-eggs/
*Please
note, women must have medical insurance to qualify as an egg donor
Once
accepted into the donor program you may donate a maximum of six
times. Upon completion of a cycle, you will be compensated $8,000 for
your time, effort and commitment.
Your
donation would be a precious gift to infertile couples whose only
chance of conceiving is through the generosity of women like you!
The
steps for egg donation are listed below:
Step
One
Complete
the initial application. This form assists our Donor Team in
determining if you qualify for our Egg Donor Program.
Step
Two
If
you qualify for the program, you will be sent an email with the next
steps and a link to complete a comprehensive online application.
Step
Three
Once
the comprehensive application is approved and you are accepted into
our anonymous egg donor program, your initial consultation will be
scheduled with our nurse coordinator. During this visit, the donation
process will be discussed in detail. In order to complete the medical
portion of the donor application process, a variety of medical tests
will also be scheduled at this time for a later date. These medical
tests must be performed at specific points throughout your menstrual
cycle and for that reason, may require more than one visit. After all
testing is completed, reviewed and approved by the VCRM physician,
you will be formally matched with a recipient and the donation cycle
will be scheduled. All costs for your medical care will be covered by
the recipient.
Step
Four
Once
the egg donation cycle begins, you will be put on birth control pills
followed by injectable medications for up to 13 days to stimulate
production of multiple eggs in your ovaries. At the same time, the
recipient’s
uterus is being prepared to receive the resulting embryos. Once the
eggs have matured, you will be scheduled for your retrieval. You will
be given IV sedation and your eggs will be retrieved via transvaginal
ultrasound with a needle guide.
Step
Five
Once
the eggs have been retrieved, your portion of the egg donation
process is complete. In our laboratory, the donor eggs will be mixed
with sperm to fertilize. Three to six days following egg retrieval,
the developing embryos will be transferred to the recipient’s
uterus. A pregnancy test will be performed on the recipient in 11
days. The anonymous egg donation process, from initial application to
egg retrieval, may take up to three months to complete. The initial
screening tests can be arranged to accommodate your schedule. Blood
work will be taken and ultrasounds will be performed to check your
hormone levels and visualize the number and size of your egg
follicles. These monitoring visits are extremely important; not only
do they ensure your safety throughout the process, but they also
provide essential information that will help us maximize the success
of the cycle.
