Egg Sharing Process

 

In an ideal world, the right to have it all would be accessible to all. We support visionary women freezing eggs for their future through egg sharing. We provide free egg freezing for more women, so that more women can focus on achieving their dreams; and more women achieving more dreams can change the world.

 
 

WHY CHOOSE

Egg Freezing

Preserving your eggs while they are at their greatest potential can allow you to take stress off the ‘biological clock’, and focus on your ideal life and goals right now. It can buy you time to decide if and when and with whom you want to have children. It will come along with valuable medical information that can better prepare you for your future. There are many reasons that women choose to freeze their eggs. What’s yours?

STEP THREE

Fertility Assessment

The overall fertility assessment includes three components; psychological, genetic, and medical. Your medical assessment will be scheduled at the prospective parents’ clinic on day 2-3 of your next period after you’ve been matched.

STEP FOUR

Stimulation

Once you have been cleared medically, both you and the prospective parents will complete legal clearance. You will then start stimulation of your ovaries. During the stimulation phase, you will inject yourself with a small needle one to three times a day for 8 to 12 days.

STEP FIVE

Egg Retrieval

The stimulation phase concludes with your egg retrieval. Under sedation, your ovaries will be aspirated. The procedure takes about 20 minutes, and most feel well enough to resume normal activity within 1 to 2 days. Half of the eggs retrieved from this cycle will be shared with the receiving parents and the other half frozen in the lab for YOU.
