%here lets consider a !aucasian eggdonor& to take a round of
birth control pills so as to synchroni'e their menstrual cycles.
(ftersynchroni'ation the recipient cycle will begin a few days
after that of the !aucasian egg donor. It
would take appro)imately *+, weeks after that" the recipient
medical cycle goes in two directionsi.e." one for the egg donors"
and the other is for the recipient. Then the donor will begin
takinghormones which would help suppress her natural o$ulation and
in-ections so as to increase herfollicle stimulation. !ommonly it
happens that a successful retrie$al would result in anywhere
from/+*/ eggs. The retrie$al procedure is generally a half hour
outpatient procedure. In this whathappens is that the donor
recei$es a light anesthetic and the eggs are thereby retrie$ed
through acareful ultrasound+guided needle. (fter the egg retrie$al
procedure the donor will be re0uired to restfor the remaining day
and if re0uired e$en the following day. This could take as long as
