Healthy women between the ages of 20 and 29 are eligible to apply to The Donor Solution. We select women who are healthy, with a healthy family history, who do not smoke or do illegal drugs and have as a minimum some college or vocational training.

Women and Same-Sex male couples who need donor eggs (called recipients and Intended Parents) are people who have a strong desire to have a child but are unable to produce eggs on their own. Some women have had cancer and chemotherapy and this has destroyed her ovaries, others had surgical removal and some have eggs that no longer can produce a child. Male partners and singles also desire to become genetic parents and need a donor to help them create embryos.

The donor's eggs are removed during a minor surgical procedure and then fertilized with the recipients´ partners´ sperm. The resulting embryos are placed into the uterus of the recipient or surrogate, giving her a chance to become pregnant with a unique, new human being!

By donating eggs to an infertile couple, you are helping them to create the family of their dreams. It takes an egg, a sperm and a uterus to make one baby, and by donating your eggs, you are helping complete the equation. It takes all the parts to make another human, and your gift is perhaps one of the most meaningful things you can do for another person.

Our couples are so happy to be able to carry their child, experience labor and delivery and nurse their baby. Their despair at their infertility turns to joy when they become pregnant and on the road to parenthood. You are part of the equation that completes this dream.

You will be compensated for your time and travel. The Donor Solution does not “pay” for eggs. We understand that your appointments, inconvenience of injections and daily bloodtests are difficult. This is the reason you are compensated for your time away from school, work and family during the cycle.

Our compensation ranges from $5500 and up. The amount is dependent on several factors including experience as a successful egg donor and education and ethnic attributes.  YOU decide the best compensation package for you.

There are three different programs for egg donors at The Donor Solution. The most traditional is the Completely Anonymous Program where only health history, your genetic history and your physical characteristics are shared with the potential recipients. You remain completely anonymous to the recipients and they will remain anonymous to you.

The second program, which makes our services unique is the Identity Release Program. This is a program where the recipient receives the information on your health history, genetic history, physical characteristics and both you and your recipient utilize Genitisafe or the DSR (Donor Sibling Registry), to safeguard your identities until any resulting child is 18 years old. This program is completely voluntary and both parties must agree to the identity release program.

The third program is, Known Donor Program. In this program the donor and the recipient can decide to meet, facilitated by a staff member of The Donor Solution. Identifying information and exchange of personal information is only available if both parties agree in advance, and sign additional legal paperwork.

Making the informed decision to donate eggs is the first step in this rewarding experience.

The first child born from an egg donation cycle was in 1984. Since that time literally thousands of women have donated their eggs to infertile women. From these thousands of cycles we have seen that being an egg donor does not affect your own fertility or decrease your fertility.

Women have over 400,000 eggs at the time of puberty. Normally they only release one egg per month from the time of her first menstrual period till her last, a period of 35 to 40 years. Even in all that time, she would naturally release only 400 to 500 eggs! There are plenty left over to help another women create the family of her dreams.
