title: Effect of ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval on reproductive outcome in oocyte donors.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess whether there is an increased risk of infertility in women that have previously undergone ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval for oocyte donation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Cross-sectional survey.
  
  
  METHODS
  Tertiary referral center.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 194 past oocyte donors.
  
  
  METHODS
  Telephone questionnaire.
  
  
  METHODS
  Incidence of infertility after oocyte donation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of the women who indicated having pursued conception after oocyte donation, 95% (57/60) became pregnant unassisted. Before oocyte donation, 41 women in this cohort had already been trying to conceive, of which 38 had delivered a child and 3 (7.3%) had needed infertility treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The data suggest that oocyte donation does not affect short-term reproductive health.
