Hard to say: Best direct this question to your infertility provider. They will retrieve whatever eggs they can after the stimulation cycle. It is difficult to freeze eggs and have them survive. Frozen embryos have a better chance or survival. You might be able to use frozen embryos for a future cycle without having eggs retrieved again. Check with your provider. Good luck!

A little complicated: The process of donating your eggs is a very detailed, complex one, but typically you are paid for your time and discomfort during the process of procuring the eggs. These eggs are used only for donor purposes and no longer are legally yours after retrieval and donation. You will likely have to undergo a second round of egg retrieval at your own cost for subsequent ivf for yourself.
