Young women lose hundreds of eggs every month naturally through their menstrual cycle. These otherwise lost eggs can be donated – with no serious side effect – to gift women struggling with infertility, genetic disorders or delayed child birth due to life’s many challenges.
Melketa is formed to help donors understand the ease with which they can make a different in the lives of others by donating their eggs – with no real risk. We empower women to understand and leverage the science and dispel the myth to build a healthy family more easily. Be a donor and become a dream maker.

More questions
From egg donors.
As you consider egg donation, below are some answers to frequently asked questions that can help make up your mind…
Melketa enables women to support each other through an extra ordinary gift that can change lives. Many families are either already broken or struggling to keep it together because of infertility. Many societies consider it a taboo to find ways to help infertile couples; Concurrently, women who are healthy enough to produce and donate eggs are unaware of the possibilities. The lack of knowledge and awareness of the issue puts women through serious health risks. Melketa aims to empower and educate all women regarding how it is absolutely safe to donate and receive eggs and how it can be a life-changing experience for struggling families. We take complete responsibility of our donors and make sure they have a wonderful, healthy and happy experience by connecting them to the top medical care providers and assisting them throughout the beautiful journey.
Absolutely safe! During the last 30 years, more than 15 million women have donated their eggs without any serious side effects. Every year, 500,000 babies are born through IVF, using the egg they saved themselves or using a donor egg with little to no side effects at all.
The procedure takes about 10 minutes and involves a transvaginal, non-surgical outpatient procedure, guided by ultrasound. The donor takes an antibiotic beginning the day before the retrieval to minimize and/or prevent risk of injury, bleeding, or infection. however, donors are monitored very closely to ensure safety and the risks have little or no long-term consequence.
The procedure is generally safe with no major long-term risks; however, some short-term risks can be avoided by knowing their warning signs.
Due to hormonal changes, you might experience indicators similar to premenstrual symptoms including bloating and slight cramping. Although rare, the symptoms might alleviate in severe cases of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS). Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or who conceive during their cycle might be at a higher risk. If OHSS develops, the ovaries enlarge and collect fluid. This can cause bloating, weight gain and severe pelvic pain.
If there is a likeliness to develop OHSS, oral medicine, cabergoline may be administered, to subside the symptoms. Stimulation may also be withheld. At Melketa, we make sure that all egg donors are closely monitored and that the risks are efficiently managed.
Recent studies around risk of medication linked to ovarian cancer suggest no significantly connection or risk or ovarian cancer.
You may experience slight changes in your body due to increase in the size of your ovaries and retention of fluid. This might result in temporary weight gain (3-5 pounds). Women who are taller might gain more weight.
It is important to abstain from unprotected intercourse and use effective contraception methods during the cycle so as to minimize the chances of pregnancy which could otherwise restrain the donation procedure.
