There's a fantastic, rewarding experience that takes a special generosity; a very special woman can become an egg donor and help infertile couples to realise their dream of a family. Can you imagine the joy that you can bring to an infertile couple if the egg donation brings positive results? They have invested a lot, both financially and emotionally to get this far, and ivf with egg donation – at last - offers the chance of a successful pregnancy.

If you want to become an egg donor, you have to meet some fairly strict criteria. Firstly, age is a key factor in the preselection: ovarian aging is dramatic after the age of 35 and your optimal fertility is around the age of 24. You need to be at least 20 years old, but not older than 33 in order to have a fair chance of a successful egg retrieval and a subsequent pregnancy for an infertile woman.

Your health is also critical; good health usually supports good fertility and hereditary diseases can affect fertility as well. However, if you are in good fettle and you have a regular menstrual cycle, it could be possible to do an egg donation. Your journey as an egg donor starts with these basic criteria.

There is a detailed questionnaire to complete in order to become an egg donor. Your recipient needs information about your education, family genetics and health, your personality, sexual and medical history, as well as a few “softer” comments, in order to make an informed choice. All this information gives your recipient parents a picture of the unique you and a sense of whether your profile matches their preferred choices.

In order to keep things anonymous, as required by South African law, you will be allocated an alias, your name for the duration of the egg donation and your identity to your recipient couple. Your profile will also show a few baby pictures, as intended parents can try visualize their baby based on your facial characteristics.

Once prequalified and with a completed your profile and with your final consent, you will officially join our Egg Donation Program: your anonymous egg donor profile goes live on our website. You could be chosen in a few minutes, or a few months! Registered Recipients (those looking for eggs to start a family) can view your profile; they will not know who you are, but will see a bit about you, physically, as well as relevant details from your questionnaire that will help them to choose you to donate.In South Africa, egg donation is completely anonymous! Confidential or identifying information will not be shared with anyone, ever. Never. Ever. You can find out more about our program at ababysa.com.
