Egg donation is the process by which a woman provides several eggs (ova, oocytes) for another person or couple who want to have a child. Egg donation involves the process of in vitro fertilization as the eggs are fertilized in the laboratory. After the eggs have been obtained, the role of the egg donor is complete. Egg donation is part of the process of third party reproduction.

Why donate eggs?

An egg donor may be motivated by a number of reasons to provide eggs. Some egg donors may be altruistic and feel that participation in the reproductive process provides a benefit for another person, sometimes a person they know or are related to. Others may be attracted to the monetary compensation

Egg donation involves taking several drugs and undergoing a medical procedure to remove the donor's eggs.

The first phase of egg donation usually involves taking drugs to synchronize the donor's menstrual cycle with the intended mother's cycle. Once synchronized, the egg donor begins taking drugs to stimulate her ovaries to make extra eggs.

The final phase, called egg harvesting, involves surgically removing the eggs from the donor's ovaries.

During the egg harvesting phase, the donor is put under light anaesthesia (called "twilight") so she feels no pain, and doctors place a small needle into her vagina to remove the eggs in a process called egg harvesting.

The entire process, from synchronizing her cycle to egg harvesting is called an "egg donation cycle."

Egg donors report that the process can be physically uncomfortable for a few days before returning to normal.

What next?

After eggs are harvested from the donor's ovaries they are used for infertility treatments on the egg recipient, the aspiring mother.

Most of the time, donated eggs are used in a medical infertility treatment known as in vitro fertilization, or IVF.
In IVF, doctors fertilize a woman's eggs—in this case donor eggs—with a man's sperm inside a laboratory.

After the eggs are fertilized, the doctors place the resulting embryos into the woman's body. If a pregnancy develops, the egg recipient can gestate and give birth.
