What are the basic requirements to become an egg donor?

To become an egg donor, several basic requirements must be met. Typically, candidates should be between the ages of 21 and 30, as this age range is associated with higher egg quality and fewer health risks.

Donors must have a healthy body weight and be in good overall health, free from chronic diseases and significant medical issues. A history of regular menstrual cycles and no known reproductive health problems, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis, is also required.

Additionally, prospective donors must be non-smokers and abstain from substance abuse, including drugs and excessive alcohol consumption. Genetic screening is performed to ensure there are no inheritable genetic disorders.

Being an egg donor also requires a commitment to the process, including multiple clinic visits for medical evaluations, hormone treatments, and the egg retrieval procedure. For more details on becoming an egg donor visit Eggdonors4all or call 212-661-7177.
