What is the process of retrieving the eggs?
The retrieval is done at the St. Davids Fertility Surgery Center, which is located on the first floor of Building 3 in the same office complex as the Texas Fertility Center. Please note this location so that you do not mistakenly go to either St. Davids Hospital or St. Davids North Austin Medical Center. The retrieval is performed under IV sedation, and it takes approximately 20-30 minutes. The eggs are retrieved by passing a needle through the top of the vagina and into the ovaries under ultrasound guidance. Following the retrieval, the donor will rest in the postoperative area of the surgery center for at least an hour. She can then be driven home, where she should rest for the remainder of the day. Please note that all donors will need someone to drive them home from the surgery center following retrieval.
