Egg donation also comes with some minor physical and physiological risks to the donor that may be more difficult for an older patient. Therefore, the recommended age for an egg donor is 21-31. Some facilities only go as old as age 29. Potential donors can always contact the agency or clinic to confirm requirements.
But we can say with complete confidence based on our experience here at Santa Monica Fertility with women who have used an egg donor to conceive, that all of our clients were thrilled to welcome their baby and had absolutely no regrets.
There are also medical risks associated with using donor eggs, such as potential genetic issues and the possibility of a dropped egg donation cycle, which can cause delays in the process.
Another medical risk is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome {OHSS}, which is your body's reaction to the injectable hormones promoting ovulation. Among its symptoms are: mild-to-moderate abdominal pain, abdominal bloating or increased waist size, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and ovarian tenderness.
Genetics is a complex process where traits are passed down from parents to children. However, the combination of genes is random, making it impossible to predict with certainty how a baby will look, even if you use a donor egg.
As with any medical procedure, there are risks with egg donation and health risks and potential complications associated with donor egg IVF, including: Adverse reactions to medications. Ectopic pregnancy. Multiple pregnancies. High blood pressure during pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia. Preterm birth. Low birth weight.
Yes, you can still get pregnant after donating your eggs. Although there are a few side effects that can occur in very rare instances, the egg retrieval process will not impact your future fertility, and most women who have donated their eggs go on to have healthy pregnancies.
