FAQs (quick)
Will donating affect my future fertility?
Clinics aim to minimize risk; most donors resume normal cycles soon after. Your physician will discuss benefits/risks and answer questions before you consent.
How much time does a cycle take?
From screening to retrieval, most cycles run 6–10 weeks, with 2–3 weeks of active monitoring.
Do I have parental rights?
No. The donor agreement confirms recipients are the intended parents.
Is travel covered?
Yes—approved flights, hotels, ground transport, and per diem are arranged/covered per program.
Can I donate more than once?
Often yes, subject to clinic medical guidance and spacing between cycles.
