An egg donor is a woman who provides her eggs for use in assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Egg donation is typically used when the intended mother is unable to produce her own eggs or has poor egg quality. The egg donor undergoes a process of ovarian stimulation, where medications are used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. The eggs are then retrieved through a minor surgical procedure and used for ART procedures.
