If you proceed with donating your eggs, you will become part of the same Egg Donors UK community. Donors will also receive compensation for the time and commitment required to become an egg donor.
Donors receive £985 per donation cycle. A donation cycle includes one round of treatment, starting with suitability tests and ending with an egg collection. This fixed compensation allows donors to cover any potential costs that donors may incur during the process such as, travel, time spent at appointments or childcare.
Regardless of the personal cost they may incur during the process, each donor receives the same £985 to reflect the time and commitment of becoming a donor.
Our growing network of satellite locations means you may be able to start your egg donation journey in your local area. With initial appointments and scans available near you, we are making egg donation more accessible, this minimises the number of appointments required at the Manchester clinic.
