Some cycles include travel to the family’s clinic, sometimes in another state or country. Your early monitoring happens close to home.
Once you reach the point where the clinic needs to see you every other day, you travel to the clinic. That stay is around two weeks in the US and up to a month abroad, depending on the clinic and schedule.
Your flight and hotel are covered, and you can bring a companion. Most of that time is spent on appointments, but many donors enjoy exploring a new city between visits.
You’ll give yourself daily hormone injections for about two weeks. You’ll also have frequent early-morning monitoring visits.
Bloating and breast tenderness are common, and some donors get headaches or mood swings. You’ll need to avoid sex and high-impact exercise for the whole cycle.
The process also asks for your time and flexibility. Appointments can shift on short notice, which can be hard around work or school. Because of consumer DNA tests, no agency can promise that you’ll stay unknown forever.
You’ll have a coordinator with you at every stage, starting with a Zoom call before you commit to anything. We help you plan your medication schedule and appointments, and we take care of travel details.
If something doesn’t feel right, tell us and we’ll speak up for you with the clinic.
You decide how much contact you want with the family, and that choice is documented before your cycle begins. You’ll never be rushed into signing.
