First Appointment Preparation

  • Ensure that you eat and drink before the appointment, as this will facilitate the blood test.
  • Refrain from using the bathroom prior to your appointment, as you'll need to provide a urine sample.

Tests and Measurements

  • During the appointment, your height and weight will be measured.
  • You'll undergo a blood test to check your Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and blood cotinine (nicotine) levels.
  • Additionally, a urine test will be conducted to screen for nicotine and chlamydia.

Ultrasound Scan

  • An internal ultrasound scan, also known as a transvaginal ultrasound scan, will be performed.
  • This scan can be done at any point in your menstrual cycle.
  • You may have a chaperone present during the ultrasound; please inform a staff member if you're uncomfortable with this arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do UK egg donors get paid in Newcastle-upon-Tyne?

No, egg donors do not get paid, as it is illegal to buy and sell eggs in the UK. However, you do get compensated £985 for each egg donation cycle for your time and effort.

Is the egg donation process painful?

Some donors can find aspects of the egg donation process uncomfortable, but any discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter medication such as paracetamol.

Am I eligible to donate my eggs?

To become an egg donor, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Aged between 18 and 35 as generally, natural fertility and egg quality starts to decline when you reach 35.
  • To have a clear medical history with no genetic or hereditary disorders (such as Type 1 Diabetes).
  • To have a BMI (Body Mass Index) between 19 and 32.
  • A non-smoker or have stopped smoking for at least three months; e-cigarettes still count as smoking.
  • To be willing to attend regular clinic appointments, including counselling, to ensure you fully understand the implications of donating your eggs.
  • To be willing to be identifiable to any child born using your eggs. (UK law means a donor-conceived person can apply to HFEA for information about you when they turn 18). 
  • Be willing to possibly change your current contraception if you're currently using the Mirena coil or implant. 
  • If you have recently had a baby, we ask that you wait six months after giving birth to give your body a chance to recover, and you can't be breastfeeding while donating or be pregnant.

How long does the process take?

From your very first appointment to egg collection it can take up to three months. The process takes this amount of time as you will be required to undergo various screening tests, medical history checks and counselling sessions before we can accept you as a donor at Egg Donors UK. Once you're accepted, and you have been registered with the HFEA, it can take up to three weeks to stimulate your ovaries using daily injections to produce mature eggs. During this time, you will attend a local centre for ultrasound scans, blood tests and screening.
