The egg donation process involves a donor receiving injections before the procedure to prepare their ovaries. A doctor then performs a transvaginal ovarian aspiration to remove eggs, using an ultrasound probe and needle inserted into the vagina to extract eggs from each follicle. Reputable programs screen donors rigorously to minimize health risks. Some donors need a few days to recover from the aspiration, while others feel normal again after just one day.
