Egg donation: general overview

At World Center of Baby, our mission is to help intended parents turn their dream of parenthood into reality. As an international surrogacy agency, we offer compassionate, personalized fertility solutions — including egg donation — designed to make your journey to parenthood as smooth, safe, and hopeful as possible.

What is egg donation?

Egg donation may initially seem like a complex or sensitive topic — one surrounded by uncertainty and questions. However, with the right guidance and support, you’ll quickly discover how straightforward and empowering the process can be when managed by an experienced fertility team.

Egg donation is a part of assisted reproductive technology in which a healthy, fertile woman donates her eggs to help another woman who cannot conceive using her own. This process offers hope to women with ovarian failure, age-related infertility, or other medical conditions affecting fertility — allowing them to experience the joy of motherhood.

At World Center of Baby, we are committed to making this journey as smooth and positive as possible. Our continuously expanding database of thoroughly screened egg donors ensures that every intended parent can find the most suitable match for their unique needs, preferences, and circumstances.

How does the egg donation process work?

One of the most common questions intended parents ask is: “How does the egg donation process actually work?” At World Center of Baby, we understand how important it is to have clarity and confidence every step of the way. That’s why we’ve prepared a simple and transparent guide to help you understand what to expect during this life-changing journey toward parenthood.

The egg donation process typically includes three main stages:

Egg retrieval from the donor
Fertilization of the retrieved eggs in a laboratory
Embryo transfer into the recipient’s uterus through in-vitro fertilization (IVF)

Each of these stages is carried out with utmost care, precision, and respect for both the donor and the intended parents — ensuring that the process is safe, ethical, and filled with hope.

1. Egg retrieval

Before the egg retrieval procedure, the donor is given specific medications to regulate hormone levels and stimulate the production of multiple eggs. Once the medication has taken effect, the doctor gently retrieves the eggs from the ovaries using a fine needle guided by ultrasound. The collected eggs are then transferred to the laboratory for detailed evaluation and preparation for fertilization.

The entire process takes about 30 minutes and is performed under light sedation to minimize discomfort. Throughout the procedure, World Center of Baby’s medical and psychological specialists provide full emotional and professional support to ensure the donor’s comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

2. Egg fertilization

In the laboratory, the retrieved eggs are combined with sperm from the intended father (or donor) in a carefully controlled environment. Over the course of 3–5 days, the fertilized eggs develop into embryos under the close supervision of experienced embryologists who monitor each stage to ensure optimal growth and quality.

3. Embryo transfer

The final step of the process involves transferring a healthy embryo into the recipient’s uterus. Using a thin, flexible catheter, the embryo is gently placed into the uterine cavity. Pregnancy typically occurs within 6–10 days, although this may vary depending on individual factors.

If you’re considering becoming part of this life-changing journey — whether as a donor or intended parent — we invite you to complete a short questionnaire so our experts can guide you through the next steps with care and understanding.
