Egg donation is doing something for someone else that they cannot do for themselves. You are giving the most precious gift of all — the gift of life to a family — and for that you receive compensation. Giving is essential for hopeful parents to fulfill their dream of parenthood, which makes the process an exciting and amazing experience for all of our egg donors.
Yes. Every month, during your natural cycle, about 15 to 20 eggs begin to mature in the follicles before ovulation. If you are fertile enough to donate in the first place, donating should have no effect on your future fertility. It does not deplete your natural supply of eggs, so you will not be harmed if you want to have children in the future.
Certainly — you can still be a donor if you have access to your biological family’s health history. However, if your adoption was closed, it might not be possible to provide all the required medical information.
We ask for your medical history, physical characteristics and lifestyle habits. Some of this is required by the IVF clinic for screening; we also use it to match you with intended parents looking for specific traits, such as hair or eye color, education or career. Your hobbies, interests and personality help parents feel connected to you. All information is kept confidential and shared only with the intended parents and their medical team — and if you are uncomfortable sharing something or do not have access to it, we will work with you.
