Why Become An Egg Donor?
Reasons why Some Women Have Become Egg Donors
This is a big step, for sure! So, you might be curious as to why other women have decided to become Egg Donors. Here are some of the reasons:
“I knew someone personally that went through infertility. I saw the pain it caused them. I was so eager to help anyone in that situation.”
“I felt really empowered by my egg donation. It was something I wanted to do and I didn’t need anyone’s approval – just my own.”
“I was finally able to pay off my student loans.”
“My friend did it and I was by her side through the whole process and it was so easy and rewarding – and so I decided I should do it too.”
“I wasn’t ready to start my own family, but I thought, why should I let my eggs go to waste?”
“What an amazing feeling to help someone fulfill their dreams.”
Who Becomes An Egg Donor?
To be honest, there is no one “type” of woman that decides she wants to help others. She may be in college, she may have an advanced degree, she may already have children or they may not even have that on her mind for years to come, she may come from any race, or nationality, she may live in the US or abroad.
Here are 4 qualities that Egg Donors have in common:
- Feel personally empowered in their lives.
- Do things because they want to and not because others tell them to (or not to).
- Have a strong desire to help others and at the same time are clear that they are also helping themselves.
- Are responsible, communicative and compassionate

Who Needs My Eggs?
At this point, you might be asking: “Who are these people and why do they want my eggs?”
First off, we call people who are looking for eggs “Intended Parents”, because the intent is that they will use the eggs to become parents. They come from all over the world – in all shapes, sizes and colors (just like Egg Donors!). They have a great desire to be parents, but there is something that is holding them back, for example:
- Their egg quality is poor due to age or other medical complications (i.e., cancer, surgeries, medications, etc.)
- They a single male or a same-sex male couple and lack ovaries
- They do not have ovaries due to a medical condition (i.e., born without ovaries, removed due to illness, etc.)
- Their own ovaries don’t work properly
- They are unable to conceive on their own for unknown reasons.
- They do not wish to pass on certain genetic mutations or illnesses of their own
Overall, Intended Parents are loving and caring people who want to have children, and count on people like you to make their dreams come true.
