Donor Egg Program - Become an Egg Donor

Frequently we see patients who have undergone premature menopause, survived cancer therapy, carry genetic diseases, or who, because of the normal diminished reproductive efficiency associated with advancing maternal age, cannot produce eggs likely to result in a successful pregnancy. As an egg donor you have the opportunity to fill the painful void that these conditions create in the lives of these patients.

To be an egg donor you must:

be between the ages of 21 and 33
have a healthy medical and genetic history
not smoke
be able to give specific family medical history back to grandparents
have medical insurance
be willing to give yourself subcutaneous injections every day for up to three weeks
be available for frequent clinic visits at the CRM for vaginal ultrasounds and blood tests
be willing to have random urine drug screening

We will perform a physical exam, obtain blood tests for sexually transmitted diseases, administer an MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory), and you will meet our third party reproductive counselor.

With the above screening procedures completed, you will be added to our donor list. A non-identifying profile of you will be available for matching with prospective recipients. Once you are matched you will begin the ovarian stimulation process leading up to the egg retrieval.

The current reimbursement for one cycle of egg donation is $4000. Egg donors are able to donate once or up to six times.
