We often get the following two questions about the effects of egg donation and donors health, so let’s talk about it.
“My identity is kept safe, but is my fertility also safe?”
Egg donation does not negatively affect your future fertility. The eggs retrieved during donation are eggs that would otherwise have been lost naturally during your cycle.
Donating your eggs is also an opportunity to assess your own reproductive health at no expense. Overall, the donation process allows a woman to take ownership of her reproductive health, learn more about her body and embrace the different decisions we can make about our bodies.
“And risks?”
There are rare complications like Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) which can cause symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, and sometimes vomiting.
We prioritise donor care and monitoring throughout the process. Severe OHSS happens in 1.5% of ED cycles. While complications like Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) are rare, donor care and monitoring are prioritized throughout the process.
There is also a risk of infection, much like when you get a tattoo or piercing. Your health and well being is vital to us.
