How hard is it to get donor eggs?

Our clinic aims to try to make the donor eggs process as easy as possible.

The first step for getting donor eggs is to make an appointment for a consultation with our Medical Director, Dr Anne Clark, followed by a counselling session with one of our highly qualified counsellors.

After you have completed these two steps, you will be required to complete a characteristic form so ManorIVF can find you the best possible match for a potential donor.

The time frame from your first appointment to booking on for a treatment cycle can be as little as two to three months. If you would like to know more about Fertility First’s donor egg program please contact the clinic on (02) 9586 3311.

FAQs about improving natural fertility

Will stress affect my ability to get pregnant?

Yes, chronic stress can impact fertility by disrupting hormonal balance and ovulation patterns. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and mindfulness practices may help optimise your chances of conception. Consider speaking with a counsellor if stress feels overwhelming.

How does my partner's health affect our fertility?

Sperm health accounts for about 40% of conception challenges. Your partner can improve sperm health by maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding excessive heat exposure (hot tubs, saunas, tight clothing), limiting alcohol, quitting smoking, managing stress, and taking a multivitamin with antioxidants. Sperm takes about 3 months to develop, so lifestyle changes need time to show results.

When during my cycle am I most fertile?

Your fertile window typically spans 5-6 days, ending on ovulation day. For a regular 28-day cycle, this usually falls between days 10-15, with peak fertility 1-2 days before ovulation. Track your cycle using ovulation predictor kits, basal body temperature, or cervical mucus changes to identify your unique pattern. Having intercourse every 1-2 days during this window optimises your chances.
