Once the screening process and testing is complete (usually 4 – 6 weeks), your egg donation cycle can be completed in about four weeks. During the first two weeks, you will need to make daily early morning visits to Weill Cornell Medicine for blood tests and ultrasounds. These visits usually last less than 20 minutes and are scheduled between 7:00 and 8:30 AM. At a certain time (usually 7 to 12 days after you start injections), your eggs will be ready to be retrieved. On the day of the retrieval, you must cancel your usual activities — work, school and social activities — so that you can have the procedure and then rest and recover afterwards. After the egg retrieval, you will not need to take medications or come in daily, but you may still feel bloated or uncomfortable for up to 2 more weeks.
