Frequently Asked Questions about Egg Donation

What will be the side effect of donating eggs?

The most common side effects that egg donors report are mild PMS-like symptoms such as bloating, slight moodiness, or headaches. Most importantly, egg donation does not impact your future fertility. In fact, successfully donating eggs is a great sign that your body is working perfectly and that when you’re ready to have kids all systems should be go. When you donate your eggs, you get access to valuable test results and information about your own fertility that can come in handy in the future. Also, we promise you won’t have bushier eyebrows or bigger ears by the end.

Why do young women decide to donate their eggs?

Women who choose to donate their eggs tend to do so because they want to offer a selfless gift to families who cannot have babies without their help. While generous compensation can make a big difference for a young egg donor just starting out, money alone isn’t enough to motivate most young women. Also, egg donation isn’t about having kids yourself. It is a totally anonymous and confidential process, so egg donors have no relationship to or responsibility for any children who might result from their donation. And while egg donation is a fascinating experience, we’ve never met anyone who donated just because they were bored!

How many times can you donate your eggs?

Current guidelines recommend that a woman can donate eggs up to a total of 6 times. After giving your body a little time to recover, you can go back into the registry to be matched again. You’ll just need to be cleared medically before each donation. Our hope is that every young woman who chooses to donate eggs with Egg Donors Philippines will have such a positive experience that she’ll want to come back again.

How long does it take to donate eggs?

Once you’ve matched with intended parents, the whole process takes between 2 and 3 months, including screening. But of that time, there are only about 2 weeks where you’ll be on medications and visiting the clinic regularly for appointments. Then you’ll have the egg retrieval, a quick procedure that takes about 20 minutes (although you’ll be at the clinic for a few hours and should take the rest of the day off.) After that, you’re done!
