Arriving at our Manchester clinic

When you arrive, the team will be ready to greet you. Your first visit will include a series of tests to assess your suitability for egg donation. Rest assured, there’s no need to worry—all tests will be carried out by clinical professionals and are expected to last approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

Take a look below to see what’s involved. In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can always contact our team via our patient app, Amelya. 

First Appointment Preparation

  • Ensure you drink and eat before the appointment, as it will facilitate the blood test.
  • Refrain from using the bathroom prior to your appointment, as you'll need to provide a urine sample.

Tests and Measurements

  • During the appointment, your height and weight will be measured.
  • You'll undergo a blood test to check your Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and blood cotinine (nicotine) level.
  • Additionally, a urine test will be conducted to screen for nicotine and chlamydia.

Ultrasound Scan

  • An internal ultrasound scan, also known as a transvaginal ultrasound scan, will be performed.
  • This scan can be done at any point in your menstrual cycle.
  • You'll have the option of having a chaperone present during the ultrasound, but please inform a staff member if you're uncomfortable with this arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do UK egg donors get paid in Manchester?

No, egg donors do not get paid, as it is illegal to buy and sell eggs in the UK. However, you do get compensated  for each completed egg donation cycle for your time and effort.

Is egg donation legal in the UK?

Yes, egg donation is legal in the UK.  It is tightly regulated by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA).

What support do I get as an egg donor?

From the moment you apply to the donation of your eggs and beyond, we will ensure you are well looked after by offering support throughout; you will not be on your own, our team have been looking after egg donors for over 35 years, so we will make sure you get the right care and advice at every step of your donation.

We make sure that during the egg donation process, you attend counselling sessions with our team to ensure you fully understand the implications associated with your decision.

Our counsellors BICA-registered , are experts in their field, and fully trained to give you the support and the right advice from the very beginning. They will make sure that you are ready to become an egg donor and that the decision is the right one for you.

 

What can the child know about me?

The law was changed in 2005 so that all new HFEA-registered donors are potentially identifiable to any conceived children once they reach the age of 18. Until then, they only have access to non-identifying information, such as your height, weight, hair and eye colour. Once they are 18 they can then contact the HFEA and obtain further details.

Will donating affect my future fertility?

No. It is extremely unlikely that donating eggs will affect your future fertility. Women who have donated eggs in the past have shown no adverse effect on their fertility in the years following the procedure.

Am I able to find out if a baby has been born from my egg donation?

Many donors like to find out if any babies have been born as a result of their egg donation. You are entitled to know if your eggs have been used successfully, including the number of children that have been born, whether they are boys or girls and the year of their birth. You will not be given any information which could lead to those children being identified.

How long does the process take?

From your very first appointment to egg collection it can take up to three months. The process takes this amount of time as you will be required to undergo various screening tests, medical history checks and counselling sessions before we can accept you as a donor at Egg Donors UK. Once you're accepted, and you have been registered with the HFEA, it can take up to three weeks to stimulate your ovaries using daily injections to produce mature eggs. During this time, you will attend a local centre for ultrasound scans, blood tests and screening.
