Young people who are determined to donate should keep in mind that although it is not a risky procedure, it is a treatment that takes time. One of the centers consulted indicated that before starting the donation, the person must undergo a series of studies that will take between four and five months.
First you will have to have complete gynecological examinations, that is, papanicolaou, breast and transvaginal ultrasounds with microfollicle counting and blood tests. In addition, a hormonal test must be done, an infectious one that “guarantees that it will not transmit any disease of a sexual or infectious nature. The study covers: analysis of Hepatitis B and C, syphilis and HIV,” they detailed in one of the publications. Additionally, she will be accompanied at all times by psychologists and mental health professionals.
Once these studies are completed and it is confirmed that the woman is in optimal condition, ovarian stimulation is given. This is done by applying subcutaneous injections of hormonal drugs to generate the simultaneous maturation of several eggs. It does not require professional help to place it, the donor can do it alone in her home. Once this stage is completed, it is time for ovarian puncture, through which the patient’s oocytes are extracted. For this, the patient must be sedated and undergo a simple surgical intervention that lasts between 15 and 20 minutes, from which she can walk out on her own.
