Egg donation may seem like a complex process and that’s why we’ve created this blog to help you learn what you can do, and what to expect, which can help ease the process of becoming an egg donor.

Deciding Why

The first step in becoming an egg donor is deciding why you want to donate your eggs.

Often the financial reward from surrogacy agencies is what attracts women to consider becoming an egg donor. The egg donation process, however, can prove to be physically, emotionally and mentally demanding on the donor, so financial gains may not be enough motivation.

Becoming an egg donor starts with the aspiration to change the lives of others, for the better!

Many women who decide to move forward with egg donation in Dallas, and around the country, have deep rooted passions for enhancing the lives of others, and helping others reach their goals. Some have a desire to help gay and lesbian couples become parents, while other egg donors may have seen the grief caused by infertility and want to help bring joy and fulfillment into the lives of those couples, by helping them build a family.

Aligning your decision to become an egg donor with the values that mean the most to you is the first step to becoming an egg donor, and will inspire and empower you throughout the whole process.

Learning More

Before moving forward, you should know what egg donation entails, and become comfortable with the process.

Egg Donor Qualifications

Often used as an initial screening process, these set qualifications can help you decide if you are ready to become an egg donor in Dallas.

  • A resident of the United State or Canada
  • Must not smoke, take illegal drugs or dependant on alcohol

Discovering the Process

After meeting the egg donor qualifications of the surrogacy agency, it is important you have a solid understanding of the egg donation process, and what will be coming up next. Once you have been approved as an egg donor, your profile will be visible for intended parents, who are looking for the perfect match to help them grow their family. Upon matching with a couple, you will begin medical and physiological screening, to ensure you are in your healthiest state, to bring a happy, healthy baby into this world.

Once you have been screened, accepted as a viable donor and matched with a couple, it’s time to start the hormone treatment. As the egg donor, you will take hormonal medications for nearly two weeks, to regulate your cycle and encourage follicle growth. Your estrogen levels will be closely monitored and you the egg retrieval process will be scheduled for 36 hours after you have received the HCG shot.
