Egg Donation requires certain commitment on your time and numerous visits to our clinic, therefore being able to commute to Los Angeles is beneficial. You will also need to meet some <a href=\"\/egg-donation\/egg-donor-qualifications\/\">basic requirements<\/a> in order to donate eggs with us, which include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Age 18-29<\/li>\n<li>Good general health<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/health\/educational\/lose_wt\/BMI\/bmicalc.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BMI &lt; 30<\/a> (not medically obese)<\/li>\n<li>No <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/sex-relationships\/understanding-stds-basics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sexually transmitted diseases<\/a> within last 12 months<\/li>\n<li>Non-smoker<\/li>\n<li>Family history without significant health or <a href=\"https:\/\/ghr.nlm.nih.gov\/primer\/inheritance\/runsinfamily\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hereditary issues<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Egg Donor Compensation<\/h2>\n<p>Egg donors are <a href=\"\/blog\/what-you-need-to-know-about-egg-donation-compensation\/\">compensated<\/a> for their time and effort to donate eggs. First-time donors typically receive $10,000 in compensation, whereas repeat donors receive more. Donors can donate eggs every 3-4 months, but do have a limit on the number of donations they can undergo in their lifetime. We provide your compensation at the time of egg retrieval.<\/p>\n<p>We cover all costs associated with donating eggs in full, including insurance, all screening, travel, accommodation and any other costs that may occur. You will never have any out of pocket expenses.<\/p>\n<h2>How to donate eggs<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Fill out the online <a href=\"\/donor-eggs\/application\/\">application form<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nOne of our egg donation coordinators will contact you as soon as we review your application.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consult with a doctor at our Santa Monica Fertility Clinic or Santa Monica Fertility Miami<\/strong><br \/>\nYou will have a phone or in-person appointment with a fertility specialist at our clinic in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, or Miami, who will review your medical history in more detail, perform an ultrasound of your ovaries, and obtain blood for various medical and infectious disease screens.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consult with a psychologist and genetic counselor<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter your medical screening tests are returned, you will have a telephone interview with a psychologist, and a genetic counselor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Creation of an electronic donor profile<\/strong><br \/>\nWe will create your profile once you\u2019ve completed all your medical, psychological and genetic screening tests and you qualified to donate eggs. We will ask you to provide photographs and may invite you to a professional photo shoot (at no cost to you, of course). Your profile will be password protected and shared with intended parents interested in choosing you as their donor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hZFt6fATEsg\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Legal Considerations for Donating Eggs<\/h2>\n<p>Egg donation is mostly done anonymously, meaning that the donor and intended parents will be unable to identify each other. In order to help match you with intended parents, we create an electronic profile which is posted on our website. The profile includes pictures and information about your health and family history. The profile is password protected and your name or any other identifying information will never be used.<\/p>\n<p>Upon matching with an intended parent, you we will refer you to an attorney who will represent you in the creation of a legal agreement between yourself, Santa Monica Fertility, and the intended parent(s). This legal agreement is meant to protect the privacy of all parties and further outlines your compensation, duties and rights once you become an egg donor..<\/p>\n<h2>About Shared Egg Donation<\/h2>\n<p>Santa Monica Fertility conducts <a href=\"\/egg-donation\/shared-egg-donor-program\/\">shared egg donation<\/a> cycles. This type of cycle allows us to match you more easily with intended parent(s), which means that you will be able to donate eggs sooner. The eggs retrieved as part of your cycle will be assigned to more than one intended parent (shared), thus making it more economically feasible for individuals or couples to undergo egg donation, while at the same time not creating an excessive number of embryos that may go unused.<\/p>\n<h2>Be Amazing, Donate Eggs!<\/h2>\n<p>Donating eggs is a truly life changing gift.
