Donating Eggs | Be Amazing | London Egg Bank (2024)

As part of the donor screening process, you’ll receive a full fertility assessment along with genetic tests, free of charge. You’ll be given a detailed picture of your fertility health, which gives valuable insight into how you might manage your own fertility in the future.

Egg donation is an altruistic act, and whilst we understand you aren’t looking for payment, we do ensure you’re covered for any expenses you incur while taking the time to donate. We pay you £750 for each egg donation cycle that you complete, which is processed quickly on the day of your treatment.

In recognition of your kindness to others in need, our care for you extends well beyond the donation itself. You’ll receive a reproductive health check after one year, including a lifestyle and reproductive health review questionnaire, ovarian reserve testing (AMH, AFC), a medical review and related reproductive advice.

Being proud to be an egg donor and openly talking about your experiences will encourage other women to consider egg donation, helping to break down the stigmas sometimes associated with infertility and donation.

When infertility problems such as age, poor egg quality, or medical treatment prevent women from conceiving with their own eggs, donor eggs provide their only opportunity for pregnancy and child-birth. By choosing to donate you are expanding the lives of others as well as your own.

You’ll meet our friendly egg donation coordinator who will explain the whole egg donation process and review your suitability.

You’ll be invited along to the clinic for a fertility assessment with one of our consultants, which involves a blood test and a pelvic ultrasound scan. This will help us assess your current fertility health and plan your personalised egg donation cycle.

After seeing the consultant, your coordinator will talk you through a number of consent forms, go through the medication that you’ll need for the cycle and arrange for our counsellor to talk to you to make sure you fully understand all aspects of the programme.

From the start of your cycle our egg donation team will guide you through the process and arrange scan appointments to closely monitor your response to the stimulation medication you’ll administer over a span of two weeks. During this time, you'll need approximately 3- 4 scans to monitor your progress and adjust your medication if needed.

Once scans show that you’re ready, we’ll collect your eggs in a safe and painless procedure that takes about 30 minutes. You should be fine to return home after an hour and get back to your normal life. A review consultation will be booked with your consultant after a couple of weeks and you can choose to enrol in our Donor Welfare Programme.
