Become an egg donor

Egg donation offers new hope for a large number of couples who previously thought they could never have children. Women may be unable to produce eggs of their own for a variety of reasons; they may have underdeveloped ovaries (Turner's Syndrome), ovarian failure or have had surgery or chemotherapy that has caused irreversible damage to the ovary. Some women are carriers of genetic diseases or they may simply make eggs of such poor quality that pregnancy is very unlikely.

Eggs are donated by volunteers or through our egg sharing programme. Following genetic screening and tests for infectious diseases, donors undergo stimulation of their ovaries and have an egg collection in exactly the same way as for conventional IVF cycles.
