Is Egg Donation Safe? Here’s What You Need to Know​

Is Egg Donation Safe? Heres What You Need to Know

• By Rite Options

2
Risks Specific to Egg Donation

• Some risk factors are associated directly with
  egg donation, specifically fertility stimulation
  medications. The regular check-up appointments
  during the egg donation process will monitor your
  response. 

3
Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)

• Some women are extremely sensitive to the
  medications used to stimulate egg production for
  the retrieval cycle. This syndrome can happen to
  any woman who takes fertility drugs, and in less
  than 5 of patients, it causes swelling of the
  ovaries and fluid buildup.

4
Risk of Pregnancy

• As a fertile egg donor who is stimulating her egg
  production, you are at a high risk of pregnancy.
  Egg donors cannot use chemical birth control, so
  barrier contraception or abstinence is
  recommended during egg retrieval cycles. 

5
Risks Associated with Any Minimally Invasive
Procedure 

• Low-level risks are associated with the retrieval
  procedure, which is inherent in most medical
  procedures. For healthy young women, these issues
  are very rare.

6
Future Fertility Is Not Affected

• There is no basis for rumors that donating eggs
  reduces a womans supply in later life. Each
  donation is 10-15 eggsso, if a woman donated six
  times, she would, at most, provide 90 eggs from
  her original supply of millions or 300,000-500,00
  at puberty.
