Once a woman has been accepted as an egg donor, she will take a series of fertility drugs (some of which must be injected) to stimulate her ovaries to produce many eggs at one time. While using the drugs, she will be scheduled for several medical tests (blood tests and ultrasounds), and after her eggs have matured they will be removed using a needle and ultrasound probe. The eggs will be fertilized with sperm from the intended father or a sperm donor in our state of the art embryology laboratory and will incubate for two to five days. A number of the fertilized embryos will then be transferred to the recipient’s uterus and a pregnancy test will be performed 9 to 12 days after the transfer.
