Egg Donation

Egg Donors Needed for Gestational Surrogacy



Egg Donation

Many gestational surrogacies require the assistance of an egg donor in addition to a gestational carrier.



This is done usually because the intended mother has no eggs, is concerned about the quality of her eggs, or in a situation with a set of intended fathers.



About Egg Donation

newborn twins Some surrogates choose to become egg donors, and some intended mothers also choose to become egg donors.

Then there are those who donate eggs but do not get otherwise involved in the surrogacy community.

Those who donate eggs are part of a rapidly growing community spanning every race and religion.

For some, it is only because of a generous egg donor that they are able to have their own children.

Compensation and Qualifications

Egg donation is very different from surrogacy, and has many different rules and qualifications. For example, whereas a surrogate mother must have given birth successfully at least once, an egg donor does not need to have had a child before in order to donate. In addition, factors such as the egg donor's physical appearance and IQ score may play a big part in an intended parent's decision.

Egg donors are compensated for their efforts and time. Payment varies depending on many factors, such as IQ and experience.

Egg Retrieval

The egg retrieval process is invasive and requires weeks of preparation. Medications, both oral and injectable, are required. There is also a limit of the number of times a woman may donate her eggs.

Though egg donors are not needed for every gestational surrogacy, they are quite common in the surrogate community. It is more common for a couple to seek an egg donor and a gestational surrogate than to seek a traditional surrogate instead.
