What is Egg Donation?

Egg donation is a process in which a woman anonymously donates some of her eggs so that another person can have children.

Every woman is born with approximately 400,000 oocytes, which are precursor cells for eggs. During reproductive life, some of these oocytes mature and can be fertilized, while others are discarded during each menstrual cycle.

When a woman decides to become an egg donor, some of these oocytes are extracted from her ovarian reserve using a specialized procedure. These eggs are preserved using advanced techniques and then fertilized in vitro before being implanted in the uterus of the future mother.

How Can I Become an Egg Donor?

  • Have between 18 and 29 years old.
