Egg Donors

Occasionally, a woman will come to our egg donation program with the desire to donate her eggs after completing her family. If the potential egg donor has had her “tubes tied,” she might feel that she is unable to donate as a result. This is a myth. You can donate eggs if your tubes are tied.
HOW CAN YOU BE AN EGG DONOR IF YOUR TUBES ARE TIED?
Following a tubal ligation, women are still able to donate eggs because the process of egg retrieval removes the eggs directly from follicles, before they are released into the body. Cut fallopian tubes do not have an impact on the body’s ability to produce mature, fertile eggs.
HOW DO YOU DONATE EGGS AFTER TUBAL LIGATION?
The egg donor process is no different for a donor that has undergone a tubal ligation than it is for any other donor. You will still be required to take injectable medications and attend several monitoring appointments leading up to the retrieval. The medical process for retrieval will be completed the same way it would if your tubes remained intact. Recovery will also be similar, and side effects will still consist of mild cramping and bloating. You can learn more about egg donation from ReproductiveFacts.
Interestingly enough, a woman who has had a tubal ligation is also able to be a surrogate. With the help of science, it is entirely possible for a child to be born without the use of fallopian tubes.
