What is Egg Donation?
Egg donation is defined as the process where a woman’s ovaries are stimulated to produce multiple mature eggs, which are then harvested and donated, usually for the purpose of assisted or third-party reproduction. Eggs may be frozen for later use or fertilized in vitro (in a laboratory).
Though initially beset by controversy, the science behind in vitro fertilization (IVF) and oocyte (egg) and embryo donation has completely changed the future of reproductive medicine and provided a new platform for advancements in women’s health.
​
Today, it is about women (the donors) helping couples to overcome infertility challenges with the aid of technology.
In the decades since the first IVF pregnancy and subsequent birth, egg and embryo donation have become as commonplace as major organ donation. Women may choose to become an egg donor for any number of reasons, and the donated eggs can then be fertilized and implanted immediately or frozen for later use.
