How to become an egg donor?
Before you can donate your eggs, you must go through a screening process, in which we assess your health. If approved as an egg donor, we will stimulate your body with hormones in order to mature eggs that can be retrieved and donated to others.
Here is how the egg donor process looks:
1. Fill out the online donor application
2. Complete a detailed health questionnaire about you and your family’s medical history
3. Attend an egg donor meeting with a donor coordinator from Cryos
4. Attend an interview with our psychologist
5. Attend a clinical examination including ultrasound and blood test
6. Go through stimulation and monitoring to mature eggs
7. Attend the egg retrieval
