What qualifications are needed to be an egg donor?
An ideal egg donor should be a woman under the age of 32 who is a nonsmoker, has no history of prior infertility, is of normal weight, and has no other health concerns that might negatively affect the genetic composition or health of her donor eggs. If the recipient couple would like to use donor eggs from an existing friend or relative, the donor may be as old as 35. If your health records indicate that you might be a good donor, you will be scheduled for an in-person consultation and possibly other tests such as a hormonal blood test, physical exam, and ultrasound.
