Egg donation
There are many people in the UK who need help from an egg donor to give them the chance of starting a family. We need amazing women like you to help make this possible.
Do something amazing – give the gift of life
Become an egg donor
Becoming an egg donor can be a rewarding experience and is one of the most generous gifts you can give. The reasons someone becomes a donor vary, but one thing they all share is a desire to help others achieve their dream of having a child.
An estimated one in six IVF treatments involve egg donation – but there is a national shortage of egg donors. As a result, many women who need donor eggs face a stressful and anxious wait to become a parent before a suitable donor is found.
The gift of egg donation and egg sharing can help make other people’s dreams of creating their own family come true.
If you meet the following criteria, you can donate or share eggs:
- Aged 18-35
- In good health, with no family history of hereditary illnesses or diseases
- Have a BMI of between 18-30
- A non-smoker
