How does the egg donate?
Real manipulations begin in the main after a couple of recipients have chosen a female donor. Procedures for the extraction of the egg take place simultaneously with the process of preparation for IVF of the female recipient. A month before the beginning of all the actions, the donor can be prescribed taking contraceptives, and then hormone therapy begins. By using gonadotropin, several mature eggs can be obtained in a single cycle. This makes it possible to collect several eggs ready for fertilization at one time and increase the chances of the recipient to have a positive outcome of IVF.
Donation of eggs and consequences
There is an opinion that donorship can lead to the onset of early menopause. These assumptions have no basis. By the time of puberty, in girls in the ovaries are stored about 300 thousand eggs. In the childbearing period, only about 500 are consumed, while the rest are absorbed by the end of this period. Therefore, given such a stock of eggs, worry about whether it is dangerous to be an egg donor for this reason, not worth it.
Side effects in the form of headache, swelling, and mood swings, and other similar effects, may appear in the donor of the oocytes during the intake of hormonal drugs that disappear after the end of their admission. But such manifestations, according to statistics, are experienced by no more than 10% of women. Many people are worried that during the process of picking up the mature eggs, bleeding may occur, or an infection may occur,
Many doctors claim that being a donor more than 6 times is dangerous to health and every subsequent donation should be conducted, at least through several ordinary menstrual cycles.
