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.
We conduct your initial consultations, blood tests, health checks, and scans at a local centres so you only need to travel to our central treatment hub in Manchester for specialist appointments. This means less travel and more convenience for you. Here's exactly what you can undergo at each:

The reason donors have to visit the main clinic in Manchester is that it regulated with HFEA to carry out procedures such as egg collection.
You can still donate if you are adopted, but you will need to know the full medical history of your biological family on both your maternal and paternal sides until your grandparents. As long as you meet all the other requirements, being adopted won’t affect you being accepted onto our donor programme.
Our Egg Donors UK has been supporting donors for over 35 years; they understand what an incredible act of kindness donating is, so they are there to support and give you advice on our donor programme. You can meet our expert and friendly Donor Team here.
While there is no direct payment for donating your eggs, you will be compensated for your time. Women who become egg donors will receive £985 for each completed donation cycle. This covers any expenses for attending each appointment.
After your eggs have been collected, you will be taken to our private ward, where the nursing team will take over your care before you go home. Here, they will ensure you are feeling well enough to be discharged.
Due to the use of general anaesthetic, we recommend that you do not drive for 24 hours after egg recovery, so you will need to bring someone along with you to accompany you home.
Following egg collection, you may feel tired, bloated and have some mild abdominal pain. There is also the likelihood of some light vaginal bleeding for a few days afterwards. These symptoms are perfectly normal after egg recovery.
Should you need to take something for the pain, paracetamol is recommended. You will be given our contact information, including an emergency out-of-hours number that you can contact with any concerns you have once you get home, we will be at the other end of the phone should you need any aftercare.
