I would say to contact a Fertility Clinic or hospital within your area.
You could go through your GP, but I think they would refer you straight to a fertility clinic anyway as thats where you would go to for the treatment.
Its a fairly lenghty process - First you have to have all the screening. Then you basically go through the IVF process, which involves daily injections to first "Down Regulate" your normal menstrual cycle so your body will be at the right stage as the recipient. You then have a series of hormones injections until your follicles are big enough to contain ripe eggs. You have a further injection to induce ovulation.
Your eggs are then collected. They will be fertilised with the recipients partners sperm and then transferred two to three days later.
You don't pay for any of the screening tests or treatment as the cost of this is covered by the recipients fees. You can also claim expenses.
