What are the requirements to become an egg donor?
The ideal egg donor is between the ages of 21 and 32 (some clinics will accept donors as young as 19 up to age 34), in good health, with a good health history, a non-smoker, non-drug user, height/weight proportionate, and have a schedule flexible enough to accomodate the necessary 7 to 10 appointments plus travel (one to two days for initial meeting/testing with recipients clinic and approx. one week during the week the retrieval is set to take place). IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOUR SCHEDULE BE FLEXIBLE TO ACCOMODATE THE NECESSARY APPOINTMENTS. These appointments are made to coincide with different phases of the cycle, therefore, it is not always possible to work around your schedule. The actual retrieval (aspiration) date depends on how the eggs are developing, and while you will be given an estimated day of retrieval, this day can change depending on your bodies response to the medications during this time.
