This process offers hope to those struggling with fertility, enabling them to pursue their dream of parenthood.

The egg retrieval process is performed under mild anesthesia (sedation), lasts 10-15 minutes, and is a painless procedure. After the retrieval, you might feel slight discomfort in your lower abdomen, similar to period pain. You can resume your normal daily activities the next day.
The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) has set a maximum of 6 cycles for egg donation that a donor can safely undergo. A recommended interval of 3-5 months between donation cycles is advised.
The duration of your visits to the clinic ranges from half an hour to a maximum of 2 hours, depending on the type of appointment. The donation coordinator who will support you will inform you each time so you can organize your time accordingly. Appointment hours range from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
The total number of your visits during the investigation and treatment up until the egg retrieval is estimated to be 6-8.
According to the legal framework, up to 12 children can be born from a single donor in Greece.
The legal framework in Greece allows named donation only to lateral relatives (siblings, cousins). This means that a woman can receive eggs from her sister or cousin, provided that the donor meets the criteria set by law (age, health, etc.).
In this type of donation, there is no possibility of accessing the identity details of the Donor, only the medical history, and only if issues related to the child’s health arise. The legal framework for the Donation process requires you to consent, after being informed, to the type of donation you choose
In this type of donation, access to the identity details of the donor is permitted by the child only after they reach adulthood. In the event that the adult child wishes to contact the donor, they can do so through the Unit or through the National Authority for Medically Assisted Reproduction using their identity details.
In this type of donation, communication and meeting with the donor can only take place if the donor also consents to communicate with the adult child.
The legal framework for the Donation process requires you to consent, after being informed, to the type of donation you choose.
In neither of the two types of donation (Anonymous/Open) can the parents or the recipient have access to the donor’s identity information.
The egg donation process is a safe procedure that does not affect your fertility or your ability to have your own children.
Yes, you can! Blocked fallopian tubes do not affect your ovaries.
Yes, donors with a normal body mass index (BMI) can be accepted into the egg donation program.
Women ages 19-32 answer our call and apply to the egg donor program. The donor team reviews the donor applications and profiles and selects the profiles of young women likely to pass screening. Donors must meet certain height and weight requirements. Educated donors are strongly preferred. Donors are subjected to genetic, medical, endocrinological, psychological, and ultrasound testing to determine if they are eligible. Eligible donors are also screened and interviewed by one of Embryolab physicians. All donors who pass screening meet FDA standards.
Egg donation is an altruistic act. Compensation is legally provided for the time, effort, travel, and dedication to the process. According to the legal framework of our country, egg donors are compensated each time they donate their eggs.
The same pharmaceutical preparations used for ovarian stimulation are utilized for the egg donation treatment. These are hormones produced by the woman’s body, administered externally to produce multiple eggs.
Of course, yes. Just as you experienced the gift of motherhood, with your donation, you will help another woman to have a healthy child and experience motherhood as well!
The legal framework in Greece permits named donation only to relatives in the collateral line (siblings, cousins). If you need further clarification, please contact Embryolab at: info@embryolab.eu.
