Couples generally choose to use donor eggs because they're unable to conceive a child with the female partner's own eggs. There are many reasons that a woman may not be able to conceive with her own eggs, including older age, early menopause, poor-quality eggs or previous cancer treatments that damaged the ovaries. Frequently, recipients have already been through extensive fertility treatments without success. Egg recipients can be couples or single women or men.
Our team has expertise from some of the top programs in the country, and all of our physicians are board certified in both obstetrics and gynecology and reproductive endocrinology and infertility. We have been helping patients become parents using donated eggs since and were one of the first programs in the Bay Area to do so.

This process can take months or even years— or it might never happen at all.
Once your cycle begins, the timeline begins with your period. The following is a rundown of the donation timeline:. In all, the egg donation process can take about days—a bit longer than a month. Your timing may vary—everyone is different! But this should give you a rough idea of how long the process takes on average.
