Egg Donation FAQs

How is Life IVF Center different than an agency?

Egg donor agencies deal with fresh egg donors, while Life IVF Center utilizes a state of the art frozen egg bank.

Committing to an agency for fresh egg donation: there is no guarantee you will be matched with a recipient, if you are eventually matched you would need to synchronize the medical process with the intended parents/recipients. As a result you will have much less control over timing, traveling, and the overall egg donation process.

If you choose to be an egg bank donor at Life IVF Center, you would go through a much easier and stress-free process:

Once accepted into our program, you can donate right away and be compensated for your services upon Egg retrieval.
You will feel more comfortable with our medical team, as you work directly with the same team each time you donate.
Traveling complications will be avoided by donating locally at our center in Orange County, California.

What is the application process like?

The first step in becoming an egg donor is to fill out our initial online application and submit 2-3 current photos of yourself. If you meet the basic requirements of our program, you will be asked to fill out our full Medical Questionnaire. This will include personal medical history along with basic medical history of family members. Once your application is approved by our Medical staff, you will be contacted to schedule an initial interview. At this time, we will familiarize you on all aspects of participation and answer any question you may have about our program.

Why am I required to monitor at Life IVF Center if I live within two hours of the medical center?

In order to ensure highest chance of success and safety to our donors, Life IVF Center mandates that all donors who live within two hours driving distance to our facility be monitored at our clinic in Irvine, California. All monitoring results must be processed within the same day in order to complete your individual treatment plan.

Medication FAQs

What do monitoring appointments involve?

When you are in for a morning monitoring appointment, we will first draw blood to assess hormone levels. Following the blood draw, we will evaluate your ovaries using an ultrasound. This ultrasound will show us how your follicles are growing and help us evaluate what dosage of medication to give you that evening. The donation cycle usually lasts for 10-16 days. You will be called or emailed while you are in for monitoring by a member of our nursing staff to ensure medication is properly taken and instructions are being followed correctly.

What do the medical tests involve?

In order to be considered as an egg donor at our facility you will be required to have a physical assessment exam, infectious disease testing, genetic screening (including a chromosome analysis), and a psychological evaluation (including a psychological health history) and an evaluation of your comfort level with the donor egg program.

How am I compensated for donations?

The fee paid to you as an egg donor is for the time, effort and inconvenience incurred during the cycle. Donors receive compensation at the conclusion of each completed egg donation cycle. We encourage you to donate multiple times, and a member of the Third Party Reproductive Department will continue to remain in contact for future donations.

What are the side effects of the medications?

The medications utilized during a donation cycle are generally well tolerated. Typical side effects from medication may include bloating, moodiness, breast tenderness, and trouble sleeping. In all scenarios, we have nursing staff and medical staff available to assist. Our clinic has no cases of severe OHSS in over 5 years that this program started.

Will this have any effect on my own fertility?

Women are typically born with approximately 1 million eggs. On average, at puberty, a woman will have an ovarian reserve of approximately 400,000 eggs. Every month about 1,000 eggs become activated and later die during a menstrual cycle. During a controlled stimulation, some of those eggs that would normally die will be stimulated for Egg retrieval.
