Donor FAQ

Women can donate eggs as long as they meet some basic conditions, which can be roughly divided into three categories: external conditions, physiological conditions, and psychological conditions.

1. External conditions:
Height is over 160cm, BMI value is between 18.5 and 24, and no bad habits (staying up late, smoking, drinking, taking drugs, etc. are all considered). College degree or above. External conditions will affect a lot! Because prospective parents in the United States can see photos of anonymous egg donors, in addition to BMI, the higher the height, education, and facial features, the more advantageous they are!

2.Physiological conditions:
Females aged 19 to 31 years old, with no genetic diseases or infectious diseases. Before donating eggs, you will need to undergo a series of physical examinations to ensure that there are no related diseases. On the one hand, you need to check whether you are eligible for egg donation. On the other hand, you can also do a comprehensive physical examination for yourself.

3. Psychological conditions:
Mental health: No mental illness, no antidepressant medication.

These three major items are relatively basic conditions and can be used as a self-examination before egg donation consultation! The exact details will still vary slightly depending on the team. If you have any questions, you can find a reputable legitimate manufacturer for free online consultation~

There is a difference in the number of egg donations between Taiwan and the United States, and it is not small. The U.S. government stipulates that egg donation must not exceed 6 times, while egg donation in Taiwan is protected by the Artificial Reproduction Act and can only be donated once at most.
Article 10 of the Reproductive Law: Artificial reproduction institutions shall not provide reproductive cells donated by the same donor to more than two recipient couples for use at the same time, and shall stop providing them for use after one of the recipient couples has successfully become pregnant. ) The purpose is to avoid ethical issues and reduce the incidence of genetic diseases.
There will be nutrition money after egg donation. The reason for this name is of course because it is related to supplementary nutrition. This supplementary nutrition does not only refer to the physical recovery after egg retrieval, but also to ensure the egg quality before egg retrieval. The need to supplement nutritious food is an invisible hidden cost.
In addition, the parts that need to be paid in advance (such as air tickets, etc.) will be counted. The cost part must be asked clearly during the consultation. When signing the contract, you must confirm multiple times whether the egg donation agency will be responsible for it or whether it is the part paid by yourself.
In fact, the entire egg donation process in the United States is not difficult or complicated. However, for girls who have never done “ovulation donation”, these related processes from examination to ovulation are not processes that they usually experience in life, so before making a decision Before deciding to donate eggs, you must evaluate your physical and mental conditions and be mentally prepared before you start!
