Frequently Asked Questions

Do UK egg donors get paid?

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.

Is egg donation legal in the UK?

Yes, egg donation is legal in the UK.  It is tightly regulated by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA).

Can I donate eggs if I have a pre-existing condition?

Having a medical condition – even one for which you take regular medication – doesn't necessarily exclude you from being an egg donor. It's always worth checking with us before you apply. It depends on the condition and whether it is hereditary to any child born from your eggs.

We'll always seek clarification as to the nature of the condition and its potential impact on your health and the health of a donor-conceived child before accepting you as an egg donor.

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. 

Where can I donate my eggs?

Egg Donors UK has a growing number of donation centres across the UK.  Visit our location page to find the nearest centre to start your journey.

Do you need donors from all ethnic backgrounds?

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. 

Can I donate my eggs if I am adopted?

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.

Please Note: We only accept egg donors aged between 18 and 35. Initial enquiry must be prior to 36th birthday.
