Potential Egg Donors in Kansas City Want To Know: How many eggs will I donate to a couple?
The number of eggs produced, retrieved, and donated in an egg donor cycle varies. The typical range is between 10-20 eggs retrieved, however not all eggs successfully fertilize after retrieval and develop into healthy embryos. About 10-14 healthy embryos generally result from 20 eggs. Some of these embryos, usually 2, will be transferred to the recipient. The remainder of the embryos will be frozen for future use.

Kansas City Egg Donors Want To Know Cycle Outcomes
A question we hear often from our egg donors is “Can I know if my recipient family got pregnant?” According to research, most egg donors want to know if their gift of egg donation resulted in a pregnancy, which of course is the outcome everyone hopes for.
We do inform our anonymous egg donors of the cycle outcome, if they wish to know. Our belief is not only is it their right to know, but they need to know so that they can decide how they want to share that information with their own children and families. Historically, some clinics with their own in-house egg donor programs have not been willing to share the outcome with their egg donors. As we learn and understand more how third-party reproduction impacts all involved parties in the future, the current belief is evolving into having more information not less helps everyone make better decisions.
