Become an Egg Donor
Your willingness to consider sharing your fertility with those who struggle to build a family is truly amazing. We thank you in advance for considering being a part of our egg donor program.
Many women are unable to conceive using their own eggs. Most commonly, their inability is due to age; as women enter their
late 30s and early 40s, they experience a significant decline in the function of their ovaries, generally causing a sharp decrease in egg quality. Other women may have different challenges in use of their own eggs, such as a high risk of passing on life-threatening genetic diseases.
For these women, using eggs donated by other women is often the only reliable way they can become mothers of healthy children. The primary benefit to a woman who donates eggs is the knowledge that she has helped another woman achieve pregnancy.
Becoming an egg donor takes time and commitment. In many ways, a donor becomes a medical patient herself, as she must undergo medical procedures. In return, donors are usually compensated several thousand dollars for their effort and time taken from work or other commitments.
Potential egg donors may be:
- Anonymous Donors - Many donors opt to remain anonymous. An anonymous donor gives her eggs to an infertile woman or couple whose identity also remains anonymous to the donor. The donor also receives some compensation for her effort, discomfort and time away from work, school or other obligations. Anonymous donors are matched as closely as possible to the physical and other criteria specified by the prospective recipient.
- Known Donors - In some cases, the egg donor is a sister, friend, or relative of the recipient. Some recipients recruit donors on their own.
Qualifications
Potential donors must be healthy, accomplished, attractive women who are non-smokers and between the ages of 21 and 30.
Compensation
Donors with our program are well compensated for their time according to their qualifications. Our compensation fees to the donor begin at $4,000.00 up to $10,000.00. Donors with previous proven donor cycle success, certain ethnicity and physical characteristics may be compensated more.
