While
similar in principle to sperm donation, egg donation is
more difficult in that the woman donating her eggs will
experience considerable inconvenience, some discomfort,
and take some risk. Egg donors are compensated volunteers,
who will take daily injections, come frequently to the office
for ultrasound and blood tests, and will undergo a needle
puncture procedure of the ovaries to collect her eggs for
the donation procedure.
