Donor Oocyte Program
Once a woman is a confirmed egg donor, the process of synchronizing both donor and recipient’s cycles will begin.

After the donor’s eggs have matured, a needle retrieves them (through the guidance of an ultrasound). The eggs are then fertilized in our state-of-the-art laboratory and will incubate for two to five days.
