Why select more egg donors?
We recommend that you find 6-8 potential egg donors, as unforeseen circumstances may arise during the donation process.
In Denmark, egg banking is not permitted, meaning the donor’s process only begins once a specific recipient has been identified. Therefore, it’s important to understand that when you opt for egg donation treatment, you are not purchasing a “ready-made product.” Donors are volunteers who lead normal lives, which can lead to delays or changes along the way.
Examples of unforeseen circumstances:
- The donor’s menstrual cycle may be irregular,
- The donor may need to observe quarantine after travelling to avoid health risks,
- Health conditions, such as the discovery of a cyst, may delay donation,
- Donors can donate a maximum of 6 times and some may prefer longer breaks between donations,
- Certain donors may have waiting lists due to high demand.
If you are flexible and prepared to switch donor on short notice, the risk of disappointment during the process is significantly reduced.
