Become an egg donor
Make a difference in someone's life
By becoming an egg donor you will be part of an exceptional group of people who have decided to assist others in achieving their dreams of having a family.
Through our dedicated egg donor program – Egg Donors Australia (EDA), we welcome everyone who meet the eligibility criteria to become egg donors.
Egg Donors Australia (EDA) was established in 2014 to help individuals who need donor eggs to experience pregnancy and to bear a child. The donated eggs can also be used in surrogacy to help couples achieve their dreams of parenthood.
EDA will ensure you are well informed throughout your entire journey of becoming an egg donor.
If you would like to be part of this rewarding process, it is important to understand what’s involved.
The preliminaries of becoming an egg donor
Please note egg donors are required to undergo an IVF cycle in order to retrieve the eggs. Once you have completed the preliminary steps to becoming an egg donor you will be ready to start treatment.
The IVF treatment cycle generally follows these stages:
- Pre-treatment tests and preparation
- IVF treatment information and discussion
- Preparation of ovaries and uterus by intranasal spray (in some instances)
- Follicle growth treatment (stimulation by injection)
- Ovulation timing (based on blood tests and ultrasound scans)
- Egg collection
During the IVF treatment you will be required to take some medications/hormones to stimulate the ovaries and promote the growth of follicles containing the eggs. You will be given detailed instructions from your specialist or fertility nurse as when to commence and administered medications, as well as the dosage to be taken.
