BECOME AN EGG DONOR
If you are accepted into the egg donation program, you
will participate in the following :
- Donor Profile. A very comprehensive questionnaire
needs to be completed. You are requested to fill in your
details like your educational achievements, sexual
activity, medical history, family history and your family
background. Must be accurate and honest.
- Psychological Assessment. You will need to be
evaluated by a qualified psychologist and to counsel you
as to the obligations and other responsibilities of being
a donor. There will be no cost to you for this assessment
test.
- Genetic Counselor Consultation. The counselor will
conduct an interview with you to determine if you may be
in a high risk category for certain genetic disorders
based on your family history. An extra blood test may be
needed when recommended. Ivimed will pay for the cost of
the genetic consultation and any required additional
genetic test.
- Donor Agreement. A legal document will be drawn up for
you to explain what is involved in the egg donation
process.
- Physical Examination. Once the screening procedure is
completed and have clearance, you will be scheduled to see
the doctor to confirm whether you are qualified to donate
eggs. You will have a complete medical examination and a
vaginal ultrasound. Blood will be drawn to test for
infectious diseases and genetic conditions. You will
receive detailed information regarding the cycle and what
it involves in the treatment cycle. A timeline will be set
for you by the doctor over the next few weeks.
Complications after egg retrieval are rare and the
chances of a serious problem are equally small. The unusual
problems include internal bleeding, vaginal bleeding or
infection.
Recovery after the egg retrieval is quite rapid, though some
pelvic heaviness, soreness or cramps are common (like
menstrual cramps). Ivimed will have a companion available to
take the donor home or to the hotel, since the donor cannot
drive the car after sedation or anesthesia. A medical
insurance coverage of $250,000 is purchased for the donor in
case of medical emergency, at no cost to the donor.
