Egg Donation Age Requirement
You must be between 19 and 30 years old to donate eggs with Farifax EggBank. The exception to this is potential donors from Colorado, in which case you must be between the ages of 21 and 30 years old. Learn more about our egg donation age requirements.
If you share our egg donation program with a friend, you could earn additional compensation per referral. There’s no limit on how many friends you can refer.
You can find more information about donating eggs near you at one of our Fairfax EggBank partner clinic locations.
Yes, you can still get pregnant after donating your eggs as donating shouldn’t affect your future fertility.
Yes, you can still donate your eggs if your tubes are tied.
Our egg donors cannot use Depo Provera or a contraceptive implant such as Implanon or Nexplanon when donating. You can continue to use birth control pills, the Patch, an IUD, or the Nuva Ring.
For their safety, those with PCOS and endometriosis are not eligible to become egg donors with our program. There would be a reduced likelihood of a successful egg donation cycle and an increased risk of medical complications.
Having depression doesn’t necessarily disqualify you from donating eggs. However, you will need to pass a psychological evaluation to donate.
Smoking tobacco and nicotine can impact the donor egg quality. Therefore, applicants who currently smoke or vape are not eligible to donate. If you go smoke-free for several months and during the egg donation process, we encourage you to reapply.
Yes, as long as you received them under sterile conditions. The FDA enforces this requirement, mandating that applicants not be at increased risk for infectious diseases that could have been transmitted through non-sterile needles.
As with any medical procedure, potential risks are involved but they are rare.
Pregnancy is a potential risk. It is possible that not all of the eggs will be retrieved. Because of this, pregnancy is a potential risk for some time after the egg retrieval. To reduce risk, donors should always use protection if having intercourse at any time during their participation in our egg donation program.
The risk of infection from egg retrieval is less than 1%. To lower the risk of possible infection, donors will be instructed to take an antibiotic for several days after egg retrieval.
1-3% of women will experience ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This happens when excess fluid from the ovaries transfers into the abdominal cavity causing moderate to severe bloating. To reduce this risk, donors may be given different medications or a change in protocol to help eliminate or significantly decrease the risk of donors having OHSS.
