Your Impact Through Egg Donation

By choosing to become an egg donor, you have the extraordinary opportunity to change lives in a profound and deeply meaningful way. Your generous act can help women who are unable to use their own eggs or produce poor quality eggs and are struggling with infertility achieve their dreams of starting a family. For many intended parents, egg donation represents their greatest hope for having a biological child, and your selfless contribution plays a critical role in making that dream a reality.

You Help Create Families

Beyond the immediate joy of helping someone create a family, the ripple effect of your generosity can be long-lasting. The child born through your donation may grow up to inspire and impact the lives of others, creating an enduring legacy that stems from your gift. Egg donation is not just a medical process—it’s an act of humanity, kindness, and connection that helps build families and brings immeasurable happiness to others.

How Made in the USA Surrogacy Will Use Donor Eggs 

At Made in the USA Surrogacy, donated eggs are used in a carefully coordinated process to help intended parents achieve their dream of parenthood. Once the donor eggs are retrieved, they are securely fertilized in a state-of-the-art laboratory using the sperm from the intended father or a selected sperm donor. This process, known as in vitro fertilization (IVF), results in embryos that are carefully monitored to ensure their health and viability.

The embryos are then either transferred to the uterus of the intended mother or carried by a surrogate, depending on the unique circumstances of the intended parents. Throughout this process, the utmost care is taken to respect the wishes and privacy of all parties involved, ensuring a supportive and professional environment.

The Overview of the Egg Donation Process

Initial Application 

The first step in becoming an egg donor with Made in the USA Surrogacy is to complete the initial application form. This form is designed to gather basic information about you, including your age, health history, lifestyle habits, and availability. The application ensures that all candidates meet the necessary requirements and allows us to begin the process of matching you with intended parents. Once your application is reviewed, our team will contact you to discuss the next steps.

Pre-Screening Process and Medical Evaluation   

After the initial application has been reviewed, eligible candidates will proceed to the pre-screening and medical evaluation stage, typically done by a reproductive endocrinologist. During the pre-screening, you will be asked to provide a detailed medical and family history. This information helps evaluate any potential genetic or hereditary health concerns.

Medical Evaluations

Next, you will undergo a series of medical evaluations conducted by skilled professionals. These evaluations may include comprehensive bloodwork, a physical exam, and an ultrasound to assess your reproductive health. Psychological screening is also conducted to ensure you are emotionally prepared for the process. Do not be surprised if throughout the screening and donation process you will be asked for unannounced drug tests while in the egg donor program.

Legal Agreements 

Once the pre-screening and medical evaluations are complete, the next step in the egg donation process is to establish the legal agreements. These agreements are essential to protect the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved, including the egg donor, the intended parents, and the agency.

This step ensures that both donors and intended parents share a mutual understanding of their roles and responsibilities, setting the foundation for a smooth and transparent process. The goal of the legal agreements is to respect and protect everyone’s individual rights while maintaining ethical standards throughout the egg donation process. If an donor wants to be anonymous they will be kept as an anonymous donor. Once the legal contracts are signed, the medical phase of the donation can officially begin.

Hormone Cycle Synchronization 

Hormone cycle synchronization is a critical step in the egg donation process. This phase involves coordinating the donor’s menstrual cycle with that of the intended mother (or a gestational carrier) to maximize the chances of a successful outcome. Under the guidance of experts in reproductive medicine, the donor will be prescribed a series of medications to regulate and synchronize her cycle. These medications may include birth control pills, followed by hormone injections to stimulate the ovaries to enlarge and produce eggs. The goal is to optimize a normal menstrual cycle by retrieving multiple eggs.

Monitoring during this time is crucial, and the donor will attend regular medical appointments for ultrasounds and blood tests to track her response to the treatment. This personalized approach ensures that hormone levels are carefully adjusted to achieve optimal results while prioritizing the donor’s health and well-being. By working closely with professionals specialized in reproductive medicine and fertility medications, the synchronization process is carried out smoothly and effectively, paving the way for the egg retrieval procedure. 

Egg Retrieval Procedure 

The egg retrieval procedure is a pivotal step in the egg donation process and is conducted with precision and care to ensure both the donor’s safety and the success of the donation. This procedure takes place in a certified fertility clinic and is performed under sedation to ensure the donor’s comfort throughout the process. Using advanced ultrasound technology, the medical specialist will guide a small needle through the vaginal wall to retrieve multiple mature eggs directly from the donor’s ovaries. The entire procedure typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes. 

It is not uncommon to fly out of state to undergo egg retrieval. This allows us to work with the most experienced and top-rated fertility clinics, ensuring that our donors receive the best care possible. After the procedure, the donor will rest for a short while before being discharged. Some mild discomfort may be expected after the retrieval; however, most donors resume their normal activities within a day or two.

Post-Retrieval Recovery 

The post-retrieval recovery phase is an essential part of the egg donation process, focused on ensuring the donor’s health and well-being after the procedure. Following the egg retrieval, donors may experience mild symptoms such as cramping, bloating, or fatigue. These are normal and typically subside within a few days. To facilitate a smooth recovery, donors are advised to rest, stay hydrated, and avoid any strenuous activities for at least 24 to 48 hours after the procedure. Our medical team provides detailed aftercare instructions to address any physical discomfort and promote a quick return to normal activities. 

Follow-up appointments may also be scheduled to monitor the donor’s recovery and address any lingering concerns. Medication, if prescribed, should be taken as directed, and donors are encouraged to reach out to our team with any questions during this time. At Made in the USA Surrogacy, your care and comfort remain our top priorities, and we are committed to supporting you through every step of the recovery process. Once fully recovered, donors can take pride in knowing they have made an incredible contribution to someone’s family-building journey.

Compensation

Egg donors are generously compensated for their time, effort, and commitment throughout the donation process. At Made in the USA Surrogacy, we ensure that donors receive financial compensation that reflects their invaluable contribution to helping intended parents build their families. The exact amount of compensation may vary depending on factors such as location and experience, but it typically ranges from $8,000 to $10,000 for a completed donation cycle. This payment is provided in installments, with the final installment given after the retrieval process is successfully completed.
