Egg Donor FAQ

Will I run out of eggs if I give them to someone else?

No. It is a little known fact that a women goes through a thousand eggs each month to select the single one that is ovulated. The eggs that don’t complete the development process normally dissolve and are absorbed by the body. Fertility drugs simply preserve a portion of these excess eggs, which the body would ordinarily discard. No extra eggs are used up in the process.

Can I accidentally get pregnant as a result of the egg donation?

Accidental pregnancies are unlikely. The clinic will be monitoring your care and provide you detailed instructions during your treatment cycle. There may be a required abstinence period during the process so that there is no risk for conception.

What are the legal responsibilities of egg donors and patients?

Texas law is extremely clear on this matter. Children born as a result of the egg donation process legally belong to the couple receiving the donated embryos. Egg donors have no responsibility for the future welfare or support of these children.
