If you’re approved to become an egg donor, congratulations! The next step is preparing for your donation cycle. Here are expert tips to make the process smooth and successful.
1. Follow Your Medication Schedule
– You’ll receive hormone injections to stimulate egg production.
– Timing is critical: always follow instructions for injections and appointments.
– Keep meds refrigerated and transport them in a cold bag if needed.
2. Eat a Balanced Diet
– Focus on lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
– Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking.
– Stay hydrated—drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.
3. Attend All Appointments
You’ll have several ultrasounds and blood tests during stimulation. These monitor follicle growth and hormone levels.
4. Rest and Avoid Strenuous Activity
– Ovaries may become enlarged, causing bloating or cramping.
– Avoid exercise, heavy lifting, or intense movement during stimulation week.
5. Plan for Recovery
– Egg retrieval is a 20–30 minute outpatient procedure under sedation.
– You’ll need rest for 1–2 days afterward.
– Most donors return to school or work within 48 hours.
6. Seek Emotional Support
– Hormonal changes can affect mood.
– Our counselors and case managers are available to talk.
