Be an Egg Donor

Egg donation is when a woman gives her eggs to another person or couple to help them have a baby. The donated eggs are fertilized in a lab and then placed in the recipient’s womb.

A woman is born with all the eggs she will ever have, around 1 to 2 million. However, these eggs continuously degrade over time. By the time she reaches puberty, only about 300,000 to 500,000 remain. A woman at the age of 20 may have  200,000 eggs.

Regarding the number of eggs lost during each menstrual cycle, multiple follicles begin the maturation process, and all but one typically degrade and are reabsorbed into the body. So, while only one egg is typically released, many more than that can be lost in the process. The exact number can vary, but it is thought to be between 15 to 20 eggs per cycle.

By the time a woman reaches 30, it is estimated that the number of eggs remaining could range from around 39,000 to 52,000, depending on the individual. However, the number can vary widely from woman to woman, and it is also important to remember that egg quality plays a significant role in fertility as well, not just the quantity of eggs.

This is why donating twenty eggs in an egg donation cycle should have minimal impact on a women’s fertility.

Our head office is in New York City, but we work with over 120 different IVF Centers throughout the USA and Canada where our donors go to donate their eggs. We will help schedule your donation at an IVF Center as close as possible to your home. If you live outside the USA and wish to be an egg donor, please complete the egg donor application and we will refer you, if possible,  to an affiliated IVF Center outside the USA or Canada.

To become an egg donor, you start by applying to an egg donor program like ours at Surrogacy4All. After you pass initial screenings and meet the egg donor requirements, you undergo a medical procedure to retrieve the eggs.

The requirements can vary between agencies, but egg donors need to be between 21 and 31 years old, have a healthy BMI under thirty, and have no major genetic disorders. Other factors like lifestyle habits and overall health also play a role.

No, egg donors do not have legal rights to any child born from their donated eggs. This is ensured through legal contracts signed before the donation process begins.

Egg donors take hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. These medications are generally safe but can have side effects. Our medical team closely monitors all egg donors to ensure their safety.

Like any medical procedure, there are potential risks with egg donation, including reactions to medication and the egg retrieval process. Serious complications are rare, and our team prioritizes the health and safety of our egg donors.

Most donors report minimal discomfort during the egg retrieval process. Any discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

The egg donation process typically takes about 3 to 4 months from the initial application to egg retrieval.

No, it does not matter where you live. We work with egg donors from all over the country.

Age limits are in place because younger women tend to produce healthier eggs and have fewer complications during the donation process. We prefer women between the age of 20 and 31 years old with a BMI under thirty.

Yes, you can still be an egg donor if you are adopted. However, we might require additional health information since your family medical history may not be available.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine recommends that a woman donate eggs no more than six times in her lifetime to minimize potential health risks. So, if you get paid $10,000 per cycle you can make $60,000.

Intended parents select a donor based on numerous factors such as physical characteristics, health history, personal interests, and more. The matching time can vary, but once you are chosen, our team will notify you immediately.

Yes, it is possible for you to keep some of your eggs for your own future use when you undergo an egg retrieval process.

This is known as egg freezing or oocyte cryopreservation. It is a method women can use to preserve reproductive potential for assorted reasons such as medical treatments that could affect fertility, delaying childbearing for personal reasons, or for donation purposes.

However, it is important to note that the process of egg donation and egg freezing for personal use are usually separate procedures. If you are interested in both donating eggs and freezing some for your own future use, you would need to discuss this with our egg donation agency to understand the feasibility, potential costs involved, and how it may affect the donation process.

Typically, our agency will allow you to keep one cohort of six eggs in exchange for foregoing your compensation as an egg donor. An egg-freezing cycle typically costs between $12,000 to $15,000 including medication. So, this is an excellent option for you to preserve your eggs for future use.

For optimal outcomes in the egg donation process at Suggogacy4All, it’s essential to consult our designated fertility specialist, not your personal doctor. They’ll oversee your care, ensuring expertise in the procedures. This approach, tailored to the intended parent(s), prioritizes the best results for everyone involved in the journey.

In the context of Suggogacy4All, a known match signifies a scenario where individuals engaged in the surrogacy journey share contact details with the intended parents. Continuous communication, facilitated through phone or video calls, fosters a personal connection between the surrogate and intended parents, ensuring ongoing contact throughout and beyond the matching process.
