The Egg Donation Process

1

Online Consultation

Remote video call with your chosen clinic. Share medical history. Clinic reviews your case and confirms egg donation is right for you.

2

Donor Matching

Clinic matches you with an anonymous donor based on blood type, physical characteristics (eye colour, hair, height, skin). Takes 2–8 weeks.

3

Cycle Synchronisation

You take endometrial preparation medication (often progesterone only — low side effects). Your clinic monitors via local blood tests.

4

Donor Stimulation & Retrieval

Donor is stimulated and eggs are retrieved at the clinic. You do not need to be present for this stage.

5

Fertilisation & Culture

Eggs are fertilised with your partner's (or donor) sperm. Embryos cultured for 3–5 days. PGT-A testing available.

6

Embryo Transfer in Bulgaria

You fly to Sofia for the transfer. 15–30 minute procedure. No anaesthesia needed. Fly home 24–48 hours later.

7

Pregnancy Test

Beta hCG blood test 10–12 days post-transfer. Your BalcanCare coordinator supports you through the wait.
