Whats the egg donation process?
You will undergo various screening tests, medical history checks and counselling sessions before we can accept you as a donor at Manchester Fertility Services. Once you’re accepted, you will be registered with the HFEA. To start the egg donor process, we inject you with hormones to stimulate your ovaries to produce mature eggs – this takes a few weeks, during which you will attend the clinic for regular monitoring. The eggs are then retrieved in surgery, they are drawn up through a fine needle, guided by ultrasound. You will be under sedation during the egg retrieval procedure, which takes about 30 minutes.
