Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is administered to the donor in the weeks prior to the procedure, along with human chorionic gonadotropin 36 hours before harvesting to yield more oocytes. These hormone injections serve to maximize the number of eggs available for retrieval.

If the person is an infant or child (age 1 to puberty) and he or she is not breathing, do chest compressions and rescue breathing for 2 minutes (5 cycles), then call 911.

Steps to Save a Life. Some of the most frequent questions untrained individuals have about CPR are queries about how to do chest compressions and how many compressions in CPR are required. Generally, during one cycle of CPR, there are 30 chest compressions for adults. This number is the same for infants and children as well. To perform a chest compression, one hand should be placed in the center of the personâs chest. The heel of this hand should be aligned with the personâs breastbone.
