Are you interested in being an egg donor? MyEggBank makes it easy to apply!

MyEggBank works with a large network of fertility clinics across the country that help people become parents. Sometimes, doctors recommend using an egg donor as the best course of action to build an aspiring parents’ family. In return, egg donors are rewarded with significant compensation for their time and effort.

Here is an easy step-by-step guide to becoming an egg donor with MyEggBank:

1. Complete the Egg Donor Pre-Screening

The egg donation process begins with a short application where you’ll fill out basic information about yourself. All donors must be between the ages of 21-31, in good physical health, educated beyond high school, and committed to the appointments and testing required to become a donor.

2. Submit the Full Application

If we approve your short application, we’ll ask you to then complete a longer one. This form is more detailed, requiring you to submit your medical history, family history, personal essays, and childhood photos. After you submit this form, our team will let you know whether you can move on to the next step of the process.

3. Receive Your Medical and Genetic Screening

Once your applications are submitted and approved, you’ll complete an in-depth medical and genetic screening. A nurse will take your blood to test for infectious diseases and drug usage, as well as review your hormone levels. Then, you’ll meet with a genetic counselor to go over your family history. Finally, you’ll see a provider for an in-depth physical exam, including a vaginal ultrasound, to assess your overall and reproductive health.

In addition to these physical examinations, you’ll also meet with an assigned counselor to ensure you thoroughly understand the donor process and are fully committed to completing it. We don’t want you to just be physically healthy, but psychologically cleared as well. We’ll call you within two weeks of your screening if you’ve been selected to become a donor.

Benefits of Becoming an Egg Donor

Being an egg donor comes with many benefits. Not only do you get rewarded financially, but you also get to help people achieve their dreams of becoming parents. You’ll also receive a full medical report for free that you can use to inform your own medical care. Additionally, you’ll be eligible for a referral bonus if you refer a friend to the program and they complete a donation cycle.

There are a few risks associated with egg donation. Some donors experience mild ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Common symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, and gastrointestinal issues. In many cases, OHSS improves naturally without the need for medical intervention. You have little to lose but a lot to gain by becoming a donor with MyEggBank.
