Why do egg donors need to be nicotine free?

In the UK, individuals considering egg donation are asked to be nicotine-free. This helps support the safety of the treatment process and overall health considerations of the donor and any future children conceived through egg donation.

Understanding the health requirements is an important step when exploring whether donation may be right for you.
