Egg donation in Preston

Arriving at our Preston clinic

When you arrive, the team will be ready to greet you. Your first visit will include a series of tests to assess your suitability for egg donation. Rest assured, there’s no need to worry—all tests will be carried out by clinical professionals and are expected to last approximately 30 to 40 minutes.

Take a look below to see what’s involved. In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can always contact our team via our patient app, Amelya. 

First Appointment Preparation

• Ensure you drink and eat before the appointment, as it will facilitate the blood test.
• Refrain from using the bathroom prior to your appointment, as you'll need to provide a urine sample.

Tests and Measurements

• During the appointment, your height and weight will be measured.
• You'll undergo a blood test to check your Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and blood cotinine (nicotine) level.
• Additionally, a urine test will be conducted to screen for nicotine and chlamydia.

Ultrasound Scan

• An internal ultrasound scan, also known as a transvaginal ultrasound scan, will be performed.
• This scan can be done at any point in your menstrual cycle.
• You'll have the option of having a chaperone present during the ultrasound, but please inform a staff member if you're uncomfortable with this arrangement.
