"We Had the Most Caring, Compassionate Experience."

We can’t thank Dr. Elizabeth Constance and the staff at Heartland enough! We did IVF and are 29 weeks pregnant with a baby boy! The IVF process can be hard emotionally, physically and financially but they patiently answered all of our questions and made sure we were informed before every procedure.

We had the most caring, compassionate experience with Dr. Maclin and Katherine and now have the most beautiful boy! Katherine cared for us so well throughout our 2 year journey, always keeping us encouraged. Dr. Maclin is brilliant, thorough, and made herself available to her patients which is quite rare these days. The whole experience while difficult was made better because of these two women specifically. We’re celebrating 18 months of Landon this week and reflecting on how grateful we are for Heartland Center!

Monitor Your Menstrual Cycle
The process begins with the monitoring of your menstruation cycle. You will use medications designed to stimulate the ovaries to produce a number of good quality eggs. All donors are closely monitored during this stage to ensure that the amount of hormones administered is correct.

HCG Injection
When blood tests and ultrasound monitoring suggest that the donor’s eggs have matured, she receives a human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injection, which maintains her progesterone levels. This is the final step in egg maturity.

Egg Retrieval
About 36 hours later, the eggs are gently removed with an ultrasound-guided needle. Egg retrieval is a minor surgical procedure, and most women experience little to no discomfort.

Egg retrieval is an outpatient procedure. After your donation, you will be fully recovered in about one to two days and your next menstrual cycle should be completely normal.
What if I am an intended parent considering an egg donor?
Reasons to Consider
an Egg Donor
Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Repeated miscarriages often indicate a chromosomal issue. This often means that a woman cannot use her own eggs and should consider a donor.PCOS
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder that compromises fertility by causing enlarged ovaries, cysts in the ovaries, irregular periods, and infertility.Uterine Anomalies
Uterine malformations including fibroids, endometriosis, and septums can also affect fertility. If surgery is unsuccessful, many women turn to egg donation or surrogacy.Premature Ovarian Failure
Premature ovarian failure (also known as early menopause) can prevent young women from releasing eggs normally. Many of these women also turn to egg donation and IVF.Older Age
As women age, the quality and quantity of their eggs begin to decline. If you are over the age of 40, an egg donor can provide the healthy egg needed for pregnancy.

Each egg donor who comes to Heartland Center for Reproduction must undergo thorough screening to ensure that that their age, physical health, psychological health, genetic makeup, and egg quality meets our standards.
