Outline of the Process
Initial Consultation with Fertility Specialist and meeting with Egg Donor Coordinator – Counselling, ultrasound scan, screening blood tests and semen analysis/semen freeze (some elements of this may be able to be carried out by your local IVF Clinic).
Consent forms completed - Appropriate consent forms must be completed prior to the start of a treatment cycle.
Donor Selection – the programme coordinator will provide you with the list of Donors from which you chose the Donor that is an appropriate match.
Frozen Semen goes over to Intersono.
Donor’s eggs are aspirated, fertilized with the frozen semen and the resulting fertilized eggs are frozen.
The fertilized eggs return to Sims Clinic.
