Egg donation

Selection of donors for egg donation

There are selected groups of women who may consider donating their eggs either anonymously to the egg donation pool or specifically to known friends or relatives. All potential egg donors should be made aware of the selection criteria adopted by the IVF center. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

• All egg donors in the United Kingdom are altruistic volunteers (no incentive either financial gains or otherwise for the donor in giving her egg). In some states in the USA, egg donors are paid.
• Egg donors may or may not be a known to the recipient couples.
• Egg donors should be healthy women, between the age of 18 and 35 years of age (between 21 and 34 in the USA).
• Preferably, they should have had healthy children of their own.
• No history of mental disorders.
• There should be no family history of genetic or inheritable diseases.
• Some centers may seek the potential egg donor's doctor as to her suitability to become a donor, and to ensure as far as possible that the donor is psychologically stable in order to donate her eggs.
