Midwest Center for Reproductive Health Detailed, non-identifying information is provided on all prospective donors. During an IVF cycle the donor undergoes ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval at the same time that the recipient receives estrogen replacement in order to prepare her uterine lining for the embryos. On the day of the egg retrieval, the donor recipients spouse/partner will provide a semen collection to be used to fertilize the eggs retrieved from the donor.

After fertilization, the embryos are transferred into the recipient’s uterus. Excess embryos may be frozen/cryopreserved for subsequent embryo transfer cycles.
