Egg Donation Programs in Akron, Ohio

As fertility treatments and clinics have become more prevalent, women now have a greater opportunity to donate their eggs. For those unable to conceive, egg donations can make having a baby a viable option. Egg donors receive compensation for their time and contribution, but more important, they know that their donation could change lives. Women interested in donating their eggs who live in the Akron, Ohio area have several nearby fertility clinics to contact.

Reproductive Gynecology, Inc.

• Reproductive Gynecology, Inc. in Akron offers patients in vitro fertilization, artificial insemination, and post-vasectomy services in addition to egg donation services. All women interested in donating their eggs must first go through a series of physical and psychological screenings. Once the woman has passed these screenings, she must also complete paperwork that details her ethnicity, various physical characteristics like eye and hair color, and personality. Based upon these answers, a recipient for the donor's egg is selected.

  While the majority of egg donations occur between an anonymous donor and an anonymous recipient, donors and recipients can decide to keep their identities known. Regardless of how donors and recipients proceed, Reproductive Gynecology, Inc. provides all patients with counseling before, during and after the procedure.

Northeastern Ohio Fertility Center

• The Northeastern Ohio Fertility Center focuses on helping all their patients become pregnant and follows up and communicates with all patients for the first 10 to 12 weeks of their pregnancy. While those who visit the center for egg donation do not require as much follow-up care, donors still receive personal and individualized care throughout the donation process.

  The screening process for egg donors is rigorous and begins with a 16-page application form that asks questions regarding medical history, physical characteristics of the donor's family members, academic history, and personality traits. Donors then go on to complete physical and psychological screenings. If the donor has successfully completed all requirements, she is accepted into the program and compensated for her donation.

Cleveland Conception Connection

• Cleveland Conception Connection, located just 29 miles from Akron, Ohio, specializes solely in egg donation. Because the center only focuses on one specialization, egg donors receive a large amount of personal attention and the staff provides all necessary instruction on administering their medication and hormone shots.

  The egg donation process, once all screenings are completed, takes approximately six to eight weeks. The time directly preceding the egg retrieval requires the most time commitment from the donor, consisting of appointments every two to three days over a period of ten days. This ensures that the donor's eggs are responding appropriately to the medications. The actual egg retrieval procedure takes approximately three to four hours, including pre-procedure sedation and post-procedure recuperation. Once the procedure is completed, donors receive compensation.
