Egg donors are required from all over the United Kingdom to come to the aid of women who are not able to have a baby using their own eggs. Obviously the women who are self-less enough to provide such a life changing service are in the minority. But it is a sad but true statement: more egg donors are needed!

There are two distinct categories of egg donors:

– Those women who have had children of their own and are happy and content with their family units but wish to help by donating their eggs for others to use.

– Younger women who for one reason or another have been alerted to the desperate need of egg donors and are willing to help others have children before they are ready to have children of their own.

All egg donors share a strong unselfish motive to help others, regardless of which category they come from. This is even more profound here in the United Kingdom for here egg donors are not allowed to receive compensation as they are in the United States. In the UK an egg donor can only claim back expenses and any out of pocket costs. However they do also pick up a deep sense of pride which no monetary value could ever match.

Egg donors are urgently required from any background, culture and location. Females thinking of donating their eggs should be aged between eighteen and thirty five and be completely aware of their family and medical history. Any pre-existing health issues experienced by the egg donor should always be fully discussed with the egg donor recipients before the egg donation procedure is arranged.

Egg donors will be required to undergo a series of blood tests to check for any disorders or sexually transmitted diseases. They also need to fill out a comprehensive personal profile so that egg donor recipients can search the egg donor database to find egg donors who closely resemble themselves physically. For the baby will carry the egg donor’s genes so intended parents try and get their egg donor to bear as close a resemblance as possible. Hence people like to know certain things about the egg donors such as; eye, skin and hair colour, education, age, weight, height and culture.

If an egg donor is in a relationship then it is a good idea to talk through your reasons to want to donate your eggs with your partner, along with the implications that this act may have on your lives. UK law altered a few years ago and now gives any child born as a result of egg donation the right to make contact with their biological mother if they so wish. Therefore it is possible that in eighteen years time an egg donor could find a teenager which is a result of their egg donation knocking on their door.

The shortage of egg donors in the UK make it extremely hard to women who need this service to find suitable donors. So it is an unfortunate fact that women like you are desperately needed all over the United Kingdom. By volunteering your eggs for egg donation you really will improve people’s lives whilst offering something extremely precious: the gift of life itself.
