Egg Sharing is a process when women who are willing to share their eggs to have fertility treatment at a reduced cost. The cycle is carried out in the normal way. But after the extraction of the eggs, half of the eggs are given to a recipient who will pay the cycle cost.

Patients should not be put under stress to share their eggs. This is a huge decision with serious implications and they should take time to think about the pros and cons of it. Patients can also try going for counselling before making a decision.

In order to share eggs, the clinic needs to collect enough egg in a single cycle so that half of it can be given to recipients.

Process of Egg Sharing

First of all, the whole process of Egg Sharing takes place for totally four weeks which includes consultation, scanning and collection of egg and sharing it with the recipient and then the embryo transfer will take place a few days later these processes.

Consultation: The first of all is the consultation with the doctor and this involves the doctor explaining all the treatment involved in the process of the Egg Sharing.

Scanning: This takes place after two weeks of time from the consultation. This includes the interaction with the nurse where they will guide with the medications and other consent forms. The first day of the process will involve the scanning and this is done every day until the eggs are collected and shared with the recipient.

Collection of Eggs: The process is done around the 12th day of the process from scanning and it is done to the patient in the sedation condition and the collected egg is shared with the recipient or frozen for future purposes. The allocated eggs will be fertilized and embryo transfer is done after a few days.
