Egg donors > Counselling for egg donation

Why you are offered counselling for egg donation

Counselling will give you the opportunity to understand the short and long-term implications of being an egg donor, with the focus being on fertility, treatment and the future.

It is a requirement that all donors should have the chance to talk through the treatment with someone who is neutral, independent and not directly involved with your medical care.

A counsellor is there to look out for your interests and is a great source of information and support. The appointments last for about 45 minutes and can usually be synchronised with the first doctor’s appointment. If this proves to be impossible, a telephone counselling appointment with a qualified fertility counsellor can often be arranged to suit you.
