Minimum requirements
- • Age 21–28
- • BMI between 18 and 30
- • Good general health and no known reproductive conditions that prevent a safe cycle
- • Non-smoker, non-drug user, and willing to follow clinic instructions during the cycle
- • Able to complete screening, consent steps, and required appointments on schedule
Why these criteria matter
Egg donation works best when the donor can complete the cycle safely, follow the clinic plan, and move through the process without avoidable delays.
Reasons to pause
- • Age outside the program range until the question can be re-reviewed
- • BMI outside the program range
- • Current smoking, recreational drug use, or medical issues that create cycle risk
- • A clinic or screening result that makes the cycle unsafe or impractical
If one of these is temporary, the right answer may be to wait and re-check later instead of pushing through the application now.
What to do next
If you fit, move to the process and compensation pages
The easiest way to avoid confusion is to separate eligibility from process and compensation. If you fit the criteria, the next page should answer what happens next, how long it can take, and what expenses are covered.
Next steps to compare
Quick check
- • Can you commit to a clinic schedule and screening process?
- • Can you follow medications and appointment instructions?
- • Does your current health and BMI fit the program?
- • Are you ready to continue only if the fit is right?
