Navigating the egg donation process can seem complicated, but with the help of our knowledgeable and caring professionals, you can better understand each step, from selecting a donor to the legal aspects to the retrieval, we ensure you feel prepared and informed throughout your journey using an egg donor, which involves the following steps:
Choose a Clinic
Choosing a clinic that makes you feel at ease and confident in their abilities and services is crucial to a successful fertility experience. When making this decision, ensure the clinic works with a third-party coordinator who collaborates with an egg donation agency, like IVF Origen Agency. We specialize in egg donation for intended parents, carefully tailoring fertility solutions to their unique needs and preferences.
Select an Egg Donor
We proudly work with egg donors in Mexico who have met our age, health, psychological, and genetic requirements. Our premier donor database contains a diverse list of donors who are kind, healthy, and educated, so you can find a match who gives you the best chance of achieving your dream. If you cannot find a match in our database that fits your requirements, we’ll conduct a tailored search free of charge.
Documents and Payment
Once you choose an egg donor, our team will send you the necessary documents and payment instructions so you can officially start the process of using donor eggs to build your family.
First Appointments
After we receive your payment confirmation, we’ll schedule your donor’s genetic counseling sessions and complete their psychological assessment with a psychotherapist. During these sessions, the therapist will discuss the donor’s reasons for donating and personal life to ensure this journey is right for them.
Medical Screening and Clearance
Your donor will travel to your fertility clinic, where they will undergo an in-person medical screening and comprehensive examination to ensure they are ready to start the egg donation process. This can take several weeks, depending on the testing needed, including laboratory work, genetic testing, and drug testing. If the donor receives medical clearance, the legal process.
Legal Process
At IVF Origen Agency, our legal experts handle this complex aspect of your fertility journey. We closely review your contract, explain your rights, and coordinate with all parties involved to keep everyone on the same page. Once you and your donor agree to your contracts, we can plan the donor’s egg retrieval.
Plan the Retrieval Cycle
Your clinic will plan the retrieval cycle and order the necessary medications for your donor, including injections that stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs in one cycle. If you choose to use fresh donor eggs, the individual carrying the child, whether it be the intended parent or the surrogate, will synchronize their cycles.
Retrieval
After receiving the injections, your donor will receive a trigger shot, and the egg retrieval will take place 36 hours later. The pain-free procedure uses an ultrasound-guided needle to retrieve the eggs. The eggs are incubated and fertilized with sperm from a donor or intended parent to create embryos. These embryos can be transferred to the surrogate or intended mother or frozen for future use.
