Egg Donation Process

The first step begins with choosing the right donor. You can register on the Ovoria Egg Bank website to gain full access to available donor profiles. After selecting a suitable match, our coordinator will confirm donor availability. Once matched, we will provide a list of necessary medical exams for the intended mother to begin preparation.

While the egg donor begins ovarian stimulation under medical supervision, the recipient also begins uterine lining preparation using estradiol valerate. This hormone therapy ensures the uterus is ready for embryo implantation. Our doctors monitor the recipient’s progress remotely and will require ultrasound scans to assess readiness.

Once the donor’s follicles are ready, eggs are retrieved in a short, minimally invasive procedure. These eggs are then fertilized with either the partner’s or donor sperm in the laboratory. The resulting embryos are cultured for up to five days to reach the blastocyst stage.

After embryo development, one or more high-quality embryos are selected for transfer into the recipient’s uterus. This can be done using fresh sperm (if the partner visits the clinic) or frozen sperm samples sent in advance. The embryo transfer procedure is quick, painless, and doesn’t require anesthesia.

Two weeks after embryo transfer, the recipient takes a blood test for beta-HCG to determine if implantation was successful. If the result is positive, the doctor will prescribe medications to support early pregnancy until the first ultrasound scan confirms the presence of a gestational sac and heartbeat.
