After you have assessed yourself to see if you meet our donor requirements, you will submit the online egg donor application. After reviewing, our team will reach out within a few days to discuss your application and arrange a personal phone call to go over the donation journey—from eligibility and medical steps to the meaningful rewards of becoming a donor. It’s also your chance to ask questions, share any concerns, and truly get a feel for what the process will be like with us by your side.

Next, you’ll meet with one of our donation specialists to confirm your availability and walk through the process. From there, you will complete paperwork, health questionnaires, background checks, and provide photos and vides to help create a strong donor profile. Then we’ll schedule blood and urine testing to check your AMH levels and confirm a negative drug/smoking status—both required for all Luxe donors. Once results come back and meet program standards, we’ll invite you to a virtual consultation to review your medical history in detail.

Other steps include signing an agreement with our egg bank and completing a counseling session to discuss the emotional and ethical considerations of donation. With each milestone, our team will be by your side, making sure you feel informed, comfortable, and supported every step of the way.

Once your profile is built, intended parents can begin to match with you. Once you are matched with them, the egg retrieval will be completed within 2-3 months.

If you are just donating your eggs as frozen cohorts (donating first without a match), then this step in the donation process is skipped. You would go straight from onboarding to medical screenings.

Our team will handle the coordination of your medical, genetic, and psychological evaluations. At this stage, you’ll visit a clinic for an ultrasound and bloodwork. You’ll also complete a full medical evaluation, including screenings for genetics and infectious diseases. These steps confirm that your sperm meets the highest quality standards—allowing you the chance to make an extraordinary impact in creating a family.
Once your results are in—usually within about four weeks—we’ll review them carefully. If everything meets the required criteria, you’ll officially be welcomed as a Luxe egg donor.

As your cycle begins, our clinic will provide you with step-by-step guidance to ensure you feel prepared and supported. In the final two weeks of your cycle, you’ll visit the clinic for ultrasounds and bloodwork. These appointments allow us to carefully track your body’s response and pinpoint the perfect timing for egg retrieval. With close monitoring, we can ensure your egg collection happens safely and at the optimal moment.

Throughout this time, you’ll administer self-injected fertility medications for about 10–12 days, which help your ovaries produce multiple mature eggs.

Once the clinic determines the timing is right, the egg retrieval will take place. This is a simple, outpatient procedure done under light anesthesia, so you’ll be comfortable throughout. The process itself is quick—usually just 10–20 minutes—and afterward, you’ll rest for a short while as our caring medical team makes sure you’re feeling well before you head home the same day.

The retrieved eggs will then be transferred to the intended parent for fresh IVF or cryopreserved for transfer at a later date. Your role in the donation IVF process stops after retrieval. 

Following the egg retrieval procedure when you successfully donate your eggs, our team will be in touch with you to promptly process your compensation.

After your retrieval, you’ll receive personalized care instructions designed to support your recovery and well-being. While most donors are able to return to their usual routines within 24 hours, a few days of light rest is recommended to ensure you feel fully comfortable. It’s normal to experience mild cramping or bloating for up to a week after the procedure.
