卵子捐赠过程
申请及筛选
第一步是完成一个应用程序, which you can request by calling (415) 514-5615 or emailing (电子邮件保护). This application includes a detailed questionnaire about your background and your medical, 家庭及个人历史. We also ask prospective donors to submit photographs of themselves.
在您提交申请后，我们的团队会对其进行审核. 如果你符合我们的标准, we will call you to arrange screening appointments with a psychologist, 遗传咨询师和生殖内分泌学家. The reproductive endocrinologist will perform a physical exam that includes a pelvic exam and cervical cultures. 在这次访问中, we also draw blood to screen for infectious diseases and certain genetic diseases and to measure reproductive hormone levels. Our team members are available to explain the process in detail and to answer your questions. The reproductive endocrinologist will describe the medical procedures involved in egg donation and discuss any risks with you. 在招募和筛选捐赠者方面, we adhere to guidelines set by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and our own institutional ethics board.
并不是所有潜在的卵子捐献者都会被选中. Not all selected egg donors receive the monetary compensation advertised. As with any medical procedure, human egg donation has some risks. 如果你被批准捐卵的话, we advise you to consult with your doctor before agreeing to donation and entering into a donor contract.
选拔过程
如果你被录取了, your pictures and profile information will be accessible to patients in our practice who are interested in using egg donation. This is a confidential process in which pictures and profile information supplied by you are shared with interested patients. 为了保护你的隐私，我们只分享你的名字.
如果接受者选择你作为卵子捐赠者, our medical staff will teach you how to prepare and administer the injectable medications. You may administer these daily injections to yourself or choose someone to give them to you.
周期同步和取卵
当你准备好了, your doctor and nurse coordinator will synchronize your cycle with that of your recipient by putting you on birth control pills for a few weeks. 在此期间, 你也会开始注射苯丙醚, a synthetic hormone that temporarily halts your ovaries' normal function. Egg production is then stimulated using injectable follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which is similar to the natural hormones your body makes before you ovulate. We will give you a detailed calendar showing when to take medications and when to come in for blood tests and ultrasound exams.
Over a period of two weeks, you will have a series of seven to 10 short visits to the 加州大学旧金山分校生殖健康中心. These morning visits include taking a blood sample and performing a 阴道超声 评估你的进步. (If you live in the North Bay, you may be able to have these visits at our Marin office.)
At the end of the two-week monitoring period, we will retrieve the eggs. 取卵是通过阴道进行的, a process for which you'll receive a light general anesthetic that's administered intravenously (through a vein). You will need someone to drive you home after the procedure and should schedule yourself a day to recover. Most donors can resume normal activities the next day, although recovery takes longer for some. After the retrieval, you'll receive financial compensation.
