Who is an egg donor?

An egg donor is a healthy woman who voluntarily and safely donates her reproductive cells to another woman who cannot have biological children using her own oocytes. They are most often patients experiencing premature ovarian insufficiency, those who have undergone cancer treatment, or women with genetic conditions. Becoming an egg donor is a real opportunity to change another woman’s life. In addition to the immense satisfaction of helping, the donor also receives compensation for the time devoted, travel expenses and participation in the procedure. The entire process is completely safe, anonymous and conducted under the care of experienced specialists who monitor the participant’s health and comfort at every stage.

Who can become a donor?

To participate in the donation program, candidates must meet specific health requirements:

  • age between 20 and 32
  • good overall physical and mental health
  • no addictions
  • normal BMI (18–25)
  • no genetic diseases and not breastfeeding

These criteria are intended to ensure the safety of both the donor and the future child.

What does the egg donation process look like?

The egg donation process at a fertility clinic consists of several stages. First, the candidate completes an application form, which allows an initial assessment of whether she meets the basic criteria. This is followed by an initial appointment during which a doctor takes a medical history, performs a gynecological examination and ultrasound scan, and orders blood tests. If the results are normal, individually tailored hormonal stimulation begins. The final stage is the so-called ovarian puncture, meaning the retrieval of eggs during a short procedure performed under intravenous anesthesia. The procedure itself usually takes 20–30 minutes.
