No. Egg donation is the process of surgically extracting a mature egg from a donor for future IVF treatment. Surrogacy involves implanting an embryo into a surrogate so that she can carry the pregnancy to term. While some surrogates use their eggs, the practice is becoming increasingly rare due to the legal gray areas surrounding the biological parenthood of the surrogate. It is much more common for a surrogate to host a baby that is not biologically her own.
