Typically, women aged 21 to 34 are eligible to become egg donors. They should be in good health and have a healthy family history. Each potential donor undergoes thorough screening to ensure suitability.

The egg donation process begins with an online application and a thorough medical and psychological screening to ensure candidates meet all health and eligibility requirements. Once approved, egg donors undergo hormonal treatments over the course of several days to stimulate the ovaries and increase egg production.

The final step is a minor outpatient procedure called egg retrieval, performed under light sedation by a fertility specialist. The entire process is safe, closely monitored, and guided by experienced medical professionals to ensure the donor’s health and comfort every step of the way.

Yes, egg donation is considered safe when performed by qualified medical professionals. Donors are closely monitored throughout the process to minimize risks. Most women experience only mild side effects. As with any medical procedure, there are some risks involved, including ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. However, our medical team closely monitors your health throughout the process. Most donors experience minimal side effects.

Egg donor compensation varies depending on several factors, including your location, experience, and background. In general, egg donors compensation starts at $10k and up to $100k in recognition of their time, commitment, and the important role they play in helping others build families.

At ACRC Global, we discuss all compensation details during your intake process, ensuring full transparency and clarity. Compensation typically includes payment for the donation cycle, along with coverage for medical expenses, travel, and related costs.

Yes, donors can choose to remain non-identified throughout the donation process. While traditional “anonymous” donation is still common—especially in egg donation—it’s important to understand that complete anonymity cannot always be guaranteed. Advances in technology, genetic testing, and future contact preferences of the child or Intended Parents may make absolute anonymity less certain.

Today, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) uses the term “Non-Identified Donation” to describe this arrangement more accurately. In a non-identified donation, your personal identity remains private, but limited non-identifying information (such as education, ethnicity, or interests) may be shared with the Intended Parents.

In contrast, “Direct Donation”—more commonly seen in sperm donation—allows both parties to have some level of contact or communication, often helping to reduce waiting times and accelerate the process.

Ultimately, as a donor, you may also choose to learn basic background information about the family you’re helping, or express your preferences regarding future contact. ACRC respects your wishes and will guide you through the available options to ensure you’re fully informed and comfortable with your decision.
