The Egg Donor Process
Becoming an egg donor at Takes3 is a rewarding journey. Once you are selected, the process takes about three months from start to finish. The egg donor process begins with an online application and initial screening to determine if you meet eligibility criteria such as age, health, education, and lifestyle.
Medical, Genetic, and Psychological Screening
Once you are selected for our frozen or fresh program, you will undergo comprehensive medical, genetic, and psychological screenings. Medical screening includes blood tests, infectious disease testing, hormone level checks, and a physical exam.
Preparation and the Egg Donation Cycle
After passing screenings, you will start the egg donation cycle, often beginning with birth control pills and then Lupron to temporarily suppress your cycle. Then, you will begin the stimulating hormone medication, which lasts 12-14 days. During this time, you will have quick early morning monitoring appointments to track your progress.
The Egg Retrieval
The exact egg retrieval date is confirmed two days before the procedure. The retrieval itself takes about twenty minutes. You’ll arrive approximately an hour beforehand and can go home about an hour afterward. You’ll receive light sedation, and while the procedure isn’t painful, you’ll be instructed to rest for 24 hours afterward.
Ongoing Support for Egg Donors
Throughout the entire egg donor process, you will receive 24/7 support and guidance to ensure your safety, comfort, and well-being. Egg donation is a meaningful way to help others build families and recieve generous compensation that can support your personal goals, such as paying off student loans, traveling, buying a home, or starting a business.
