Abstract:

This paper explores what is and what is not known about the risks of ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval, for both a prospective mother and a prospective egg donor. However, as this white paper describes, more conclusive data about the risks of ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval to women are needed.
