Why donate eggs at FIVIR?

The egg donation process is an option that many women consider to help those who have difficulty conceiving due to age or health problems. To donate at our clinic in Valencia is a very good decision, because the donor has the support of the most advanced technology and an environment of total security and trust.

Is it possible to donate eggs?

The egg donation process in Spain has been strictly regulated since 1988, which guarantees ethical and medical procedures, and ensures the health of both donors and the resulting embryos. Spanish law establishes several important conditions for donation:

Age of Donors: Women wishing to donate eggs must be between 18 and 30 years old.
Anonymous: Donation is completely anonymous; this means that no knowledge or contact can take place between the donor and the recipient of the egg.
Informed Consent: Donors must sign a consent form, detailing all aspects of the process, ensuring that they understand and agree to the procedures involved.

This is how the egg donation process works at FIVIR

First consultation and evaluation

Information and advice: We will inform you about the process, including medical, legal and ethical aspects, and we will examine your general health.
Psychological evaluation: Our psychological department will interview you to find out if you are emotionally prepared and suitable for gamete donation.
Health analysis: You will receive the results of a detailed health analysis in which, among other things, we will discard infectious and genetic diseases.

Preparation for donation

Signature of informed consent: As a donor, you will sign a document confirming your understanding and acceptance of the procedure.
Gynecological study: We will carry out an evaluation of your reproductive health.
Hormonal analysis: We will perform an analysis to determine the state of your hormones and your ovarian capacity in order to accept you as a donor.

Ovarian stimulation

Hormone medication: As a donor, you will receive daily hormone injections to stimulate the production of multiple eggs. This process lasts between 10 and 14 days.
Monitoring: You will undergo frequent ultrasounds and blood tests to monitor ovarian response and adjust medication if necessary.

Egg retrieval (follicular puncture)

Preparation: The donor receives a final injection of hormone (hCG or GnRH agonists) to mature the eggs.
Procedure: Under sedation, you will undergo an ultrasound-guided follicular puncture to extract the eggs. This procedure takes about 20-30 minutes.
Recovery: You will remain under observation for a few hours before returning home the same day.

Security and Technology

At FIVIR we employ the most advanced technology to ensure that the procedure is as safe and effective as possible. We are committed to provide a trusting and supportive environment for all our donors, ensuring that every step of the process is handled with the greatest care and professionalism.

If you are interested in donating eggs and meet the above requirements, we invite you to contact us for more information and to start this generous act of helping other women who are looking to start a family.

Donating eggs is a voluntary act, completely voluntary and for this reason we want to offer the best service with the greatest comfort and safety so that this treatment is a pleasant experience for you, due to the symbolism and the purpose it has: to help other women to fulfill their dream of becoming mothers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can become an egg donor?

Egg donation in Spain is regulated by the Spanish law on assisted human reproduction techniques (Law 14/2006). The law refers to egg donation as an anonymous, altruistic, voluntary and formal act between the egg donor and the clinic where the donation takes place. Egg donors must be between 18 and 35 years old, in good physical and mental health. They must also have a medical and family history with no hereditary diseases. In addition, their eggs cannot produce more than 6 babies, as the law sets a limit of 6 live births per donor, including their own children.

How is the egg donation process?

It consists of 3 phases: Evaluation and selection, which includes medical, psychological and genetic exams; Ovarian stimulation, where the donor receives medication to stimulate the production of multiple eggs; and egg retrieval, which is performed in a minor surgical procedure under sedation.

Is it painful?

Ovarian stimulation may cause some inconvenience, such as swelling and mood swings. Egg retrieval, performed under sedation, is not painful, although some women may experience mild cramping and some pain after the procedure.

About how long does the egg donation process last?

This process can take between 4 and 6 weeks from the initial evaluation to the egg retrieval.

Are there any risks associated with egg donation?

As with any medical procedure, there are risks, even though they are rare. These may include ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), infection, bleeding or reaction to anesthesia.

Does egg donation affect my own future fertility?

There is no evidence indicating that egg donation affects the donor's future fertility. Women are born with a surplus of eggs, and ovarian stimulation only affects eggs that would have been rejected anyway during that menstrual cycle.

The opinion of our patients

It was always a success to trust them, they supported us until the end, always with kindness and impeccable professionalism. The treatment is very familiar and makes you feel very comfortable during the process.

Every year I embarked on my adventure, and in it I met great people, neighbors and family members like the entire team that forms FIVIR, thanks to them I have my little one, they accompanied me throughout the process, in a friendly, close, sincere way but above all, with lots of affection.

Nathalie Gramage

After a few years of attempting an unsuccessful attempt, we began to think about seeking help. After visiting a renowned clinic in Valencia that turned out to be cold and excessively economic-oriented, we decided to seek more humane treatment. On the first visit we carried out to FIVIR, we diagnosed part of the problem we had to conceive and found that humanity and love that we were looking for.
