Welcome Dr. Olutunmike “Tumi” Kuyoro to AFCC!
Donating your eggs is a profoundly generous act that can help individuals and couples fulfill their dreams of having a family, whether they're struggling with infertility or require third party assistance to build their family. Many donors feel a deep sense of purpose in knowing they’re giving the gift of parenthood to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity.
At the Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago (AFCC), the health and safety of our egg donors and the babies produced from their eggs is our top priority. Please ensure you meet the following criteria before applying to be an egg donor:
If you meet these requirements, you can fill out and submit our egg donor application, which includes questions about your medical history and personal characteristics.
The screening process for our egg donor program is extremely in-depth to ensure the best health outcomes for all parties involved. If we accept your application, we’ll coordinate evaluations of your general health, reproductive health, genetics, and psychology.
At AFCC, we believe that egg donors should be properly compensated for their time and effort. We offer compensation starting at $10,000 for each completed cycle.
The egg donation process involves synchronizing your cycle with the cycle of the egg recipient. Then, you’ll self-inject fertility medications to produce and mature multiple egg follicles. You’ll come to our facility for frequent follicle monitoring. Once we’ve determined your eggs are the right size, you’ll receive a trigger shot, which sets the stage for your retrieval. Guided by ultrasound, our doctors will gently suction your eggs from your ovaries using an aspirating needle and a very thin catheter. The entire process typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes, and you’ll be lightly sedated.
Donating eggs will not affect your future ability to have biological children. Each month, your body naturally gets rid of eggs during ovulation. The egg donation process involves retrieving these additional eggs your body would have otherwise discarded.
Ready to make a difference by donating your eggs and being compensated for your incredible gift? We’re here to answer all your questions and concerns so that you can move forward with confidence.
