As a Donor Programme Assistant, I will book your initial tests at our Leicester centre, including a blood test and ultrasound scan. Egg Donors UK makes the process as convenient and comfortable as possible, ensuring you feel supported and informed from the first step.
I initially saw an advertisement post on Facebook, and I thought about it a lot after. Then about six months I contacted the clinic and got the ball rolling.
No, egg donors do not get paid, as it is illegal to buy and sell eggs in the UK. However, you do get compensated for each completed egg donation cycle for your time and effort.
Yes, egg donation is legal in the UK. It is tightly regulated by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA).
We have measures in place to reduce any risks and our team will monitor you closely during stimulation and after egg collection. The egg collection carries a risk of infection and bleeding. There is also a risk of hyperstimulation - a condition where the ovaries respond quickly to the drugs, producing more eggs than expected.
This is why hormone tests are carried out as part of the screening process, as it allows us to see how your ovaries are likely to respond. You are also monitored regularly once the drugs have been administered in order to prevent hyperstimulation. If this occurs, some women feel bloated and abdominal discomfort, but you will be advised to take pain relief and drink plenty of water.
Please be assured that you will be in safe hands with a team of experts that will make sure you are cared for at every step of your donation.
You do not need to stop the combined contraceptive pill until you start treatment, at which point you can will stop it whilst taking the injections, ensuring to use condoms where required. You can restart this a 7 to 10 days following on from your egg collection.
You may be asked the stop the progesterone only pill (the mini pill) to induce a bleed, but you can start this again a 7 to 10 days following on from your egg collection.

We have lots of patients who are looking for an egg donor to help them reach their dream and have a family of their very own. We have a shortage of egg donors from ethnic backgrounds, and this does mean that donor choices are very limited for our patients who want a donor with the same ethnicity as themselves. They may have to wait for a long time to find that donor, so we always ask for donations from varied backgrounds.
The recipients of your donated eggs are the legal parents of any child born. Therefore, you have no financial or legal responsibility for any donor-conceived children now or in the future.
No, you do not need to have children to donate eggs.
