What is Egg Donation?
Egg donation, part of donor surrogacy, is a widely used process in which you donate your egg to help a potential mother conceive. As part of assisted reproduction, it safely benefits a woman who cannot rely on her own eggs for reasons such as advanced age and ovarian failure.
Egg Donor requirements
To become an egg donor, you must:
-
Be between the ages of 19-29
-
Bmi 29 and under
-
Have regular monthly periods
-
Non smoker or drug user
-
Healthy genetic family history
-
Free of STDS

Ability to travel for 10-14 days, travel expenses will be provided
Will it Cost Me Anything to Donate?
No. You are covered for any expenses related to your donation. These typically include medical and psychological screening, medications, insurance, and any legal fees because you are entering into a legal agreement with the intended parents. Also covered are all your travel expenses to the In Vitro Fertilization clinic where your eggs are extracted. These can include airfare, ground travel and parking, meals, and lodging.
You may also choose someone who makes you feel safe and comfortable to accompany you through the process. Travel expenses for your companion, who will share a hotel room with you if needed, are covered.
What is the Benefit for being an Egg Donor?
The time, effort, and inconvenience you undergo to donate your gift will be fairly compensated. Pay varies on your location and donation history but usually begins at $8,000. Particular ethnicities such as Asian may receive higher amounts because they are especially wanted.
Are There Risks?
Although egg donation is perfectly safe, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks. The medications may have side effects such as headaches, fatigue, or hot flashes. The process may be uncomfortable or painful, such as during blood drawing for testing or during retrieval. If you have unprotected sex during before and after extraction, you may become pregnant due to the fertility drugs. If you experience severe conditions such as infection or bleeding during retrieval, you may need to undergo surgery to repair any internal issues.
