Thank
you for considering the fantastic opportunity presented by
our egg donor program!
By
participation in the egg donor program, you not only get the
overwhelming satisfaction of knowing that you made it possible
for someone to have the family of their dreams, but you are
also rewarded monetarily for your time and dedication to the
process. Our current compensation rate is $4000 per egg retrieval
procedure. Egg donation is very safe, and should have no affect
upon your own future fertility. Egg retrieval is now done
in a 30 minute vaginal needle aspiration procedure that involves
no external surgery site or scarring.
We are always recruiting egg donors to provide the chance
of having a family to those who are unable to use their own
eggs to create a child. If you are interested in becoming
an egg donor and you live in the greater Spokane, WA (Eastern
Washington, Northern Idaho) area, you may call the donor information
line at 509-232-0134 for pre-recorded information regarding
our egg donor program.There are several criteria that must
be met to be considered for participation as an egg donor.
These criteria are in place for two main reasons.
a)-For the program to provide those using the services the
absolute optimum chance of success.
b)-Donors not meeting some of the requirements are simply
not in high enough demand
Our
current minimum requirements include the following:
1-You must be between 21 and 31 years
of age (inclusive)
2-You must have a high school diploma as an educational
minimum
3-You must be a minimum of five feet two inches tall
4-You must not have a history of multiple spontaneous
abortions
5-Your family history (through grandparents) must not
have more than two
instances of unexplained cancers (non-environmentally or exposure
caused)
6-We are unable to use donors that are moderate to
heavy tobacco, or alcohol users, or users of recreational
drugs.
7-You must not be currently pregnant, and if you have recently had a child, you must have fallen back into a normal ovulatory cycle and finished breast feeding.
8-You must have health insurance coverage, and it must
not be publicly sponsored or paid for in any way (only used in case
of emergency, donor program covers all normal costs)
9-You must fall within 30% (plus or minus) of the ideal body weight
for your height (see below)
If you are currently using birth control pills,
bc patch, IUD, or have had a tubal ligation (tubes tied),
this poses no problem to participation as an egg donor. If
you are currently using Norplant or Depo-provera for your
birth control, you would need to discontinue the use and come
back to a normal menstrual cycle before you could be considered
for participation. The program does not recommend that you
change your method of birth control for the sole purpose of
participation as an egg donor unless approved by your professional
health care provider.
In
order to begin the donor screening procees, you will need
to complete a donor history and submit it to our program for
review by the medical staff. This "donor
questionnaire" is
available to download in pdf format from this website, or
it can be requested by phone for delivery through the mail.
If you have further questions regarding the fertility drugs
that may be used in the donor program, some additional information
is available on the "drug
information" page.

below your ideal body weight, as both low and high body
weight may influence your reproductive capacity.
