Consider becoming an egg donor because it is a wonderful, previous, giving, life-giving deed and also because the egg donor process is not as complex as often envisaged. Woman wonder how to donate eggs and the how the egg donation program works - they are unsure of their commitment, their costs, their role, their anonymity and generally how every thing works. Becoming an egg donor through a reputable egg donation agency means understanding the egg donation program and learning how to donate eggs. Woman are moved to donate their eggs because of humanitarian reasons mostly and often hear and read about the plight of infertile people and desperately want to help them - because they are able. Woman seeking the cause of egg donation are generally aged between 18 and 34 years old and of good healthy. Their ovaries need to be normal sizes and their thyroid and other hormonal measures need to be within fertile healthy ranges. These are all tested as part of the egg donation screening. Woman with one ovary or who have had a hysterectomy can still be egg donors. Provisional information provided on the egg donor questionnaire/ egg donation application will include such as well as other information (phsyical, social and academic traits). The egg donor screening process involves a discussion to effectively communicate and explain the egg donor program and to afford prospectful egg donors an opportunity to ask and enquire as much as they need to feel comfortable. South African egg donation for South African egg donors means the following:
- No egg donor registry - so complete anonymous egg donation with egg donation recipients having any contact details. Children conceived of egg donation will also not be able to contact the egg donor at all. Only the egg donation agency and egg donation clinic will have access to contact information.
- Receiving of a donation to compensate for inconveniences incurred to avail herself as an egg donor.
- Having blood tests done and an internal scan.
- Specifying to whom donor eggs may be given. E.g. an egg donor may not be comfortable in donating to a person of different race, etc.
- Donating eggs and consenting to information. E.g. an egg donor may not necessarily give consent to show her picture which is perfectly acceptable.
- South African egg donors do not incur any cost and are only required to present themselves at specified times to proceed with the egg donor screening and once confirmed, proceed with the egg donation process.  Egg donors are carefully guided and counselled every step of the way to optimise the egg donation process for them as well.
