With any medical procedure there are always risks involved. Dr. James S. Heiner and Dr. Keith L. Blauer, Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologists, Infertility Specialists, both have extensive medical and surgical experience and while it is hoped that the recipient couple will become pregnant, the prevailing concern is for the health and well being of the egg donor volunteer. There is a small risk of infection, bleeding and a 1-2% risk of ovarian hyperstimulation (OHSS). These will be discussed in more detail during your initial visit.
