Once chosen as an egg donor, a cycle takes approximately four weeks. During a two-week period, you’ll visit the clinic approximately seven times for ultrasound monitoring and blood tests. These morning appointments generally take less than 30 minutes each. An egg retrieval procedure typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes. It is performed under sedation so you will be comfortable and asleep during the procedure. After the retrieval, you will spend some time in recovery before being discharged, usually within a couple of hours.
