Due to the risks to egg quality caused by nicotine, smokers cannot be accepted as egg donors. When you apply to become an egg donor, we ask you if you smoke, and we will test your urine for nicotine at your appointments.
If you used to smoke or are trying to stop smoking, you must have no nicotine in your system for at least three months before your donation application. You should then be free from the effects of nicotine, including e-cigarettes, as they still contain nicotine.
Our donors come from all walks of life - all with the same desire to help other women and all with something in common - great kindness, empathy, and commitment to giving the gift of life. Here is what one of our egg donors said about Egg Donors UK
"I was treated with greatest care during my stay at the clinic and I've also been under their care after my egg donation. I have to say they have a have highly trained team in every department.
I couldn't have asked for better treatment and clinic staff who took care of me during the whole process. I was informed about each step during the process. They have even designed an app which helps you with taking medications as well as appointments and important information.
The process of donating eggs itself was conducted in a very professional and caring way. Doctors and nurses informed me about everything and the team made me feel safe. If I could choose again I would donate my eggs again at this clinic without thinking twice."
