What does it mean to donate your eggs?
Becoming an egg donor is a significant and deeply rewarding commitment that involves several steps designed to ensure the health and safety of both the donor and the intended parent(s). Here's what you can expect:
Initial Application and Screening
The journey begins with an initial application where you'll provide basic information about your health, lifestyle, and family medical history. If you meet the preliminary criteria, you'll be invited for a more comprehensive screening. This includes a detailed medical and psychological evaluation, genetic testing, and a physical exam to ensure you’re a suitable candidate for egg donation.
Stimulation and Retrieval
Once cleared, you’ll take a series of hormone injections to stimulate your ovaries to produce multiple eggs. When your eggs are ready, a minor outpatient procedure will be scheduled during which a physician will use an ultrasound-guided needle to collect the mature eggs from your ovaries.
Compensation and Gratitude
In recognition of your time, effort, and generosity, you will receive generous compensation. Depending on how many cycles you go through and your region, compensation can range between $6,000 and $60,000. Beyond financial rewards, you’ll experience the profound satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped others achieve their dream of having a family.
Egg Donor Qualifications
To become an egg donor, there are some basic requirements you must meet, including:
- Healthy female, age 21-29.
