Access to information on the world wide web or internet has increased the risk of false statements and opinions rather than true and valid facts.  How to find the right information about egg donation facts is critical prior to embarking on any fertility treatment in respect of female egg donors or recipients of donor eggs.

 

A reputable egg donation agency should have all the updated information posted.  Accuracy, latest professionalism and services are important.  Updated facts about egg donation include the following:

 

Egg donation does not impose undue risk for female egg donors.

Recipients of donor eggs are not guaranteed that they will become pregnant.  However this treatment does offer hope for people who have no eggs or are in premature ovarian failure (POF), premature menopause or for gay males.

A child conceived through egg donation will not genetically be related to the recipient.  Selection of an egg donor with a good physical match will however increase the chances of the child having a similar appearance, thus not increasing potential questions about the child's obvious dissimilarity.

All egg donors should be thoroughly screened from a medical and psychological perspective.

Donor eggs will need to be retrieved from the egg donor's body and artifically fertilised in a laboratory, thus fertilisation will take place outside of the body - IVF treatment.

Depening on other circumstance, there is a 48% chance for success using egg donation.

Donor eggs are donated, not sold.

Egg donation is not legal in all countries.  The exact situation in this regard will need to be clarified.

Egg donation ivf is an emotional process because the outcome is either huge joy or upset, so people undergoing fertility treatment will become emotional.

Egg donors should be aged between 18 and 34 and need not have had children before donating. 

If a recipient intends carrying the child from egg donation, an ultrasound of her uterus is required to confirm her ability to become pregnant.

 

It is always a prudent and insightful process to confirm all relevant egg donation facts and information with the egg donation agency.  Access to this information and the detailed egg donation process will contribute to the level of comfort that the egg donor agency is reputable.
