Qualifications of an Egg Donor

West Coast Egg Donation conducts an intensive and thorough screening process before a woman is able to join our egg donor program. These egg donor requirements are necessary to ensure a positive experience and a healthy baby, but are also part of the guidelines set forth by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The FDA oversees all donor tissue programs (including donor eggs) and requires us to ask very specific questions about your health history, sexual history, and other health related activities as part of the egg donor qualification process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many times can I donate my eggs?

In order to ensure the health and safety of egg donors, as well as limiting the number of children coming from one woman, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s (ASRM) guidelines for egg donation recommends that women only donate up to six times in their lifetime.

What disqualifies a potential egg donor?

Potential candidates can be disqualified from being an egg donor for several reasons, including lifestyle habits (e.g. smoking, history of drug use), health concerns (irregular periods, obesity, genetic disorders, etc.), usage of certain types of contraception (e.g. Depo-Provera), and the inability to commit to scheduling appointments.

Is there an age limit for egg donation?

Although many agencies differ on the exact age limitation for egg donation, the general consensus is that egg donors should be no older than 29. These age restrictions are in place because egg quality and quantity diminish as women reach their mid to late 30s. To give intended parents the best possible chance of having a successful pregnancy, it’s important that only healthy, viable eggs are used.
