Deciding to become an egg donor can be a very big and important decision. Egg donation is a relatively new reproduction service that enables women experiencing difficulties conceiving to become pregnant. Whether you came across an ad for egg donation or were asked by a close friend or relative to consider becoming an egg donor, it is imperative that you understand exactly what the process entails and that you make the best decision for you.
The egg donation process may be used for a number of reasons. It is becoming popular with women (particularly older women) who cannot have children of their own due to eggs that cannot be fertilized. The older a woman gets, the more difficult it becomes to conceive because of advanced reproductive age. Other reasons would include disorders or illnesses that can be evaded through the egg donation process.
Egg donation is desirable to couples because the future mother can still experience pregnancy, and even use her husband’s sperm to conceive.
Egg donation in Johannesburg is completely safe. A generous donation is offered and the program is confidential. The process involves a brief chat including the signing of a consent form, blood tests to confirm hormone levels and then a physical. If you are considered a good donor, your will start the program and come in for about 2 or 3 scans as well as the eg retrieval. This is not an operation, so no scars and no cuts.
