Become an Egg Donor
What is Egg Donation?
Egg donation is a selfless act where you generously provide your eggs to individuals or couples who are unable to conceive on their own. Through a series of medical and psychological screenings, followed by a carefully managed cycle of hormonal medications, your eggs are retrieved and fertilized via In Vitro Fertilization in a laboratory. Your donation can make a significant difference in someone's life, giving them the chance to fulfill their dream of having a child.

Benefits of becoming an Egg Donor
Personal fulfillment and pride
The act of egg donation is inherently altruistic. Our egg donors often find personal fulfillment and pride in knowing that their selfless act of donating eggs is directly helping individuals or couples achieve their dream of parenthood. The act of giving, particularly in such a personal and meaningful way, can bring a profound sense of purpose and deep satisfaction.
Financial compensation
The decision to become an egg donor involves a significant commitment of time, effort, and dedication. As a gesture of appreciation for your contribution and the resources required, a financial compensation package is provided to compensate you for your time and any associated expenses. Your case manager will ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the compensation structure and discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
Access to fertility and genetic information
As part of the donor screening process, an ovarian function test and ultrasound will be conducted to assess your reproductive health and help you obtain important information about your ovarian reserve. In addition, genetic carrier screening will be run which helps identify if you carry any genetic variations that could potentially be passed on to future children. Both fertility and genetic information empower you to make informed decisions about your fertility and future family planning.
