Egg donors

Egg donors are women who voluntarily provide their eggs to assist others in achieving pregnancy. During a process called ovarian stimulation, donors receive medications to produce multiple eggs, which are then retrieved through a minor medical procedure. These eggs can be fertilized with sperm in a lab to create embryos, which are later implanted into a recipient’s uterus. Egg donation helps individuals or couples facing infertility, age-related fertility decline, or genetic concerns. Donors are carefully screened for health, genetic risks, and compatibility, and they often receive compensation for their time and effort.
