Each egg donation requires two initial screening visits to determine if you meet certain health requirements and if being a donor is right for you. If you become a donor, the process does not begin until a recipient is matched to you. Once that happens, you will attend about six clinic visits over a two-week period. You will also give yourself injections several times a day. You will need to take time off school or work for the day of the retrieval because sedation is required. You should feel like your normal self within a few days of the retrieval.
