How does egg donation work?

Egg donation involves a process where a woman donates her eggs to help individuals or couples conceive. The donor undergoes hormonal treatment to stimulate her ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which are then retrieved through a minor surgical procedure. The retrieved eggs can be fertilized with sperm in a laboratory to create embryos, which may be transferred to a recipient's uterus or frozen for future use. Donors typically undergo medical and psychological screenings to ensure their health and readiness for the process.
