Motivations for Becoming an Egg Donor

The Emotional Side of Egg Donation
Every woman has her own reasons for becoming an egg donor. For some, it’s a unique opportunity to give a part of themselves to help create a life, while for others the cause is noble and the financial rewards alluring.
As you explore your own reasons for choosing to become an egg donor, you may also be thinking about these issues.
How Will Friends and Family View My Egg Donation?
Donating such a personal part of yourself is an emotional experience both for the recipient and for you, the egg donor. It is critical that you have a good support structure around you as you go through the process.
For this reason, be sure to communicate openly about your decision with your closest friends and family so that they will understand the subtle changes in your daily schedule and body rhythms. Friends and family will often have their own questions about the egg donation process, and you may refer them to this website for more information.
The World Egg Bank has worked with over 1,000 egg donors, and we have personally guided each donor through the egg donation process. Once approved as an egg donor, a representative of our staff is assigned to you and is available whenever you have questions.
