Become an Egg or Sperm Donor

We are committed to helping individuals and couples achieve their dreams of parenthood, and egg and sperm donors play a vital role in this journey. Donating eggs or sperm is a generous and life-changing gift that gives hope to those facing fertility challenges. If you’re considering becoming a donor, here’s everything you need to know about the process, the benefits, and how you can make a difference.

Why Become an Egg or Sperm Donor?

Becoming an egg or sperm donor offers you the unique opportunity to:

Help families grow: Your donation can provide individuals or couples facing infertility the chance to start or complete their family.
Make a lasting impact: For those struggling with fertility, a donor can be the key to unlocking the possibility of parenthood.
Receive health screenings: As part of the donor process, you will undergo thorough medical evaluations that can provide valuable insights into your own health.
Receive compensation: In recognition of your time, effort, and generosity, donors are compensated for their contributions.

Who Can Become a Donor?

Egg Donors:

Age: Women between the ages of 21 and 35, in good health, with regular menstrual cycles.
Health: You should have no history of genetic disorders or serious health conditions and be free of smoking and drug use.
Commitment: Egg donation requires a time commitment for screenings, hormone injections, and the egg retrieval process.

Sperm Donors:

Age: Men between the ages of 18 and 40, with good health and no history of genetic disorders.
Health: You should have no serious health conditions and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Commitment: Sperm donors are expected to provide multiple samples over a certain period, allowing for better success rates in the fertility process.

The Egg Donation Process

Initial Consultation and Screening: You will first undergo a thorough medical and psychological evaluation to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for egg donation. This includes blood tests, ultrasounds, and genetic screenings.
Ovarian Stimulation: To increase the number of eggs produced, you will take fertility medications that stimulate the ovaries. This process is carefully monitored through regular clinic visits and ultrasounds.
Egg Retrieval: After about 10-14 days of hormone injections, the eggs are retrieved through a minor outpatient procedure. This process is safe, relatively quick, and performed under sedation to ensure your comfort.
Post-Donation Recovery: After the procedure, you may experience mild cramping or bloating, but most donors return to their regular activities within a day or two.

The Sperm Donation Process

Initial Screening: Potential sperm donors undergo an initial health screening that includes a physical exam, blood tests, and an evaluation of sperm quality. You will also complete a genetic and psychological assessment.
Sperm Collection: Donors provide sperm samples at the clinic, typically through masturbation. You may be asked to donate several samples over a set period, as this increases the chances of success for the recipient.
Compensation and Regular Monitoring: Sperm donors are compensated for their time and effort, and regular health monitoring is provided to ensure ongoing health and well-being.

What Happens to Your Donation?

Egg Donors: After retrieval, your eggs are fertilized in the lab using the recipient’s partner’s sperm or donor sperm. The resulting embryos are then transferred to the recipient’s uterus, giving them the chance to achieve pregnancy.
Sperm Donors: Your sperm is used to fertilize the recipient’s eggs through procedures like Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), offering recipients the chance to conceive.

Compensation for Donors
