Learn more about the benefits of egg donation for cancer patients

Egg donation for cancer patients allows our Southern California egg donation agency to help women fulfill their dream of motherhood. After a life-changing cancer diagnosis, you may believe you can no longer have a family as cancer treatment can harm fertility. But with the right support, having a baby is still possible.

Why do some women need egg donation for cancer patients?

Women are born with a set number of eggs in their ovaries, called the ovarian reserve. This reserve naturally decreases with age, but certain types of cancer treatment may speed up this decline in fertility. Having fewer or poor quality eggs may make it harder to become pregnant. Having a low ovarian reserve may lead to early menopause, meaning no eggs or very few eggs are left. Your doctor can test your ovarian reserve using blood tests and an ultrasound.

Because cancer treatments often affect fertility, you may need to consider donor eggs after undergoing certain treatments.

• Chemotherapy can affect the ovaries and cause diminished ovarian reserve. This damage can sometimes be permanent.
• Radiation therapy can negatively affect the reproductive organs, specifically the ovaries.
• Surgery for a cancer that affects the reproductive organs can result in scarring that can cause fertility challenges.

A fertility doctor can help you determine whether egg donation is your best option. From there, our Southern California egg donation agency will guide you through the egg donor selection process using our caring and consultative approach.

The next steps

Our Southern California egg donation agency will work closely with you and your fertility clinic to make sure everything moves forward seamlessly.

• Egg retrieval. When enough of the donor’s eggs are mature, she will undergo an egg retrieval. An embryologist then fertilizes the eggs with sperm from the hopeful father or a sperm donor. The resulting embryos undergo preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to ensure only the best embryo is transferred and results in the baby of your dreams.
• Embryo transfer. You or your gestational surrogate will take certain fertility medications to prepare the uterus for the embryo transfer.

We know it can seem difficult and overwhelming to conceive after cancer treatment, but we strive to make it easier by offering a combination of compassion, support, confidentiality and premium donors.
