According to Aevitas Fertility Clinic, an egg donor is a young woman who donates some of her own eggs to intended parents struggling to have a baby.

Egg donors donate their eggs when the intended mother cannot produce good-quality eggs for fertilisation.

After the donor has undergone egg retrieval, the donor eggs are fertilised through IVF with either the partner's seed or the donor's seed. Through fertilisation, an embryo forms and is placed back into the intended mother's womb.
