To be honest, deciding to accept egg donation is not an easy task. Behind this, there are often many entanglements, waiting, and full expectations for the future. But if you have already come this far, then I want to say: you are not alone, we will accompany you to walk this road steadily and smoothly.

Step 1: Talk to a doctor and you will first meet a professional reproductive endocrinologist. We don't just throw away a bunch of medical terms to confuse you, but we will listen carefully, understand your situation, and explain the entire treatment plan step by step.

If you are considering using donated eggs, the doctor will explain in detail what needs to be done next. For example, how should I prepare? Is it suitable for pregnancy? Is there anything to pay attention to in terms of health?

Some basic checks will also be arranged, such as:

Uterine ultrasound (to check for abnormalities in the uterine cavity) blood tests (to check basic indicators such as thyroid and blood type) semen analysis, whether from a male or a donor, are all done to ensure that every stage of embryo formation is as smooth as possible. Reminder: If you are over 45 years old, the doctor will also arrange several additional examinations. For example, diabetes screening and electrocardiogram (EKG) are used to check the state of the heart. Sometimes, obstetricians who deal with high-risk pregnancies are invited to check. This is not making a mountain out of a molehill, but to prepare you for pregnancy in the healthiest possible state.

Step 2: How to choose an egg donor? The process of selecting egg donors is not so 'procedural', it is actually quite personal and full of emotions. Everyone has different thoughts when choosing:

Some people value appearance more, some care about education or personal background, and some may say, "I want to choose someone who looks a bit like me." You can choose our internal egg bank or go to an external institution we cooperate with.

If you search from our egg donation pool, our egg donation coordinator will arrange for you to review the complete information of the candidate, including:

Our egg donors have undergone strict screening for their upbringing background, health history, family medical history, education level, and even their childhood and current photos, including:

We will provide you with detailed explanations of genetic testing, psychological assessment, infectious disease testing, and physical examination reports to ensure your peace of mind.

After selecting the egg donor, we will confirm if she is available and coordinate her medication plan and egg retrieval time. The synchronization of cycles is crucial.

Step 3: To put it simply, cycle synchronization means that when the donor prepares mature eggs, your uterus is also ready to receive the embryo.

The egg donor will use medication to stimulate ovulation, and she will undergo ultrasound and blood tests for about 10 to 14 days. The doctor will monitor the development of the follicles to determine when to retrieve the eggs. At the same time, you will also start using medication to "soften" the endometrium, making it comfortable and fertile, and preparing for the future embryo to settle down.

Step 4: After the donor's eggs mature, egg retrieval surgery will be arranged, usually under intravenous anesthesia, which is done quickly.

On the same day, your partner (or sperm donor) will provide a semen sample for fertilization with the egg.

Afterwards, the little creatures in the laboratory quietly began to grow.

Usually, when the embryo develops to the third or fifth day, transplantation can be arranged. The doctor will discuss with you how many embryos to transplant. Most of the time, we suggest:

Transplanting an embryo reduces the risk of twins. The remaining high-quality embryos will be frozen and stored for future use. At this point, you are very close to your dream of becoming a mother.

Summary: Accepting egg donation does not mean you have given up anything. On the contrary, you are opening a door for a new life.

All your choices, waiting, and efforts are expressions of love.

If you are considering whether to take this step or are already on your way, don't be afraid. This road is indeed not short and a bit winding, but we will accompany you slowly and move forward with hope.
