Dr. McNichol and the experienced team are happy to help you through the egg donation process. Call the Longwood, Florida office or request an appointment online to start your egg donation journey.
Many people require egg donation to add to their family, with a few common examples being:
Women who were born without eggs
Women with poor-quality eggs as a result of cancer treatments
Women with chromosomal egg problems
Women who experienced premature menopause
Women with age-related infertility
Same-sex couples without access to eggs
Regardless of why they need egg donation, people who rely on donated eggs view them as a tremendous gift.
You’ll join a list of donors at the Fertility Center of Orlando. Your name will remain anonymous, but some basic characteristics like your race, height, weight, and donation history help prospective parents (the recipients) choose the right donor for them.
After a recipient chooses you, the egg donation process starts. You’ll undergo fertility-stimulating treatments to encourage maximum egg production, which involves about two weeks of daily injections. Then, you’ll come to the Fertility Center of Orlando for your egg retrieval procedure.
From the time that a recipient chooses you as their donor to your egg retrieval procedure can take about 4-6 weeks.
Qualified candidates who have donated at least once previously can opt for a fertility preservation procedure. In an elective egg freezing cycle with shared donation, you’ll share the eggs but also freeze some for personal use.
