Hang on – as an egg donor you must be prepared to have internal examinations (by the fertility doctor) and injections on a daily basis (for 14 or so days). And, if you are married, your spouse’s consent is needed as well.
You know that you want to do this: Thanks. you are a special woman.
Now, please register with us.
Your name will be a pseudonym. Now’s your chance to use that name you secretly wanted! And published pictures are only of toddler-age and less.
This is a very serious, emotional and expensive business for infertile parents. Above all, they need to know that you are committed to give your time and to stay healthy during the process of helping another human being to become a parent.
You can still use the Pill while you are waiting for a recipient to choose your eggs, but – once chosen and the donation process is underway – you’ll have to use non-chemical contraception. Or (oh no!) abstain for a month.
Of course. Once chosen, you will chat to our counseling psychologist. We want you to be entirely comfortable with your decision to help our Recipients become parents.
Our secure database is password-protected. You will join our list of Egg Donors, where registered ababySA Recipients (those looking for eggs to start a family) can view your profile.
It’s not a competition!
Obviously, your physical look is important. An infertile woman and her partner will often choose a donor who looks similar to her. So, hair- and eye-colour may be important. Or not. Your shared interests may be important. Or not. So, there’s no such thing as a perfect look and feel: we need women of all races, heights and appearance.
Unfertilised eggs are discarded by your body with your normal menstrual cycle. And to make a child, you also need an entire swagbag of goodies: sperm; a healthy womb, a mother.
Yes, you can. You will have an internal examination and when the eggs are retrieved, your hymen may be ruptured.
