Egg Donor FAQs

Where can I find more information about egg donation near me?

You can find more information about donating eggs near you at one of our Fairfax EggBank partner clinic locations. 

Can you still get pregnant after donating eggs?

Yes, you can still get pregnant after donating your eggs as donating shouldn’t affect your future fertility.

Can you donate eggs if your tubes are tied?

Yes, you can still donate your eggs if your tubes are tied.

Can you donate eggs on birth control?

Our egg donors cannot use Depo Provera or a contraceptive implant such as Implanon or Nexplanon when donating. You can continue to use birth control pills, the Patch, an IUD, or the Nuva Ring.

Can you donate eggs if you have PCOS?

For their safety, those with PCOS and endometriosis are not eligible to become egg donors with our program. There would be a reduced likelihood of a successful egg donation cycle and an increased risk of medical complications.

Can you donate eggs if you have depression?

Having depression doesn’t necessarily disqualify you from donating eggs. However, you will need to pass a psychological evaluation to donate.

Can you donate eggs if you smoke tobacco?

Smoking tobacco and nicotine can impact the donor egg quality. Therefore, applicants who currently smoke or vape are not eligible to donate. If you go smoke-free for several months and during the egg donation process, we encourage you to reapply.

Can you donate eggs if you have tattoos?

Yes, as long as you received them under sterile conditions. The FDA enforces this requirement, mandating that applicants not be at increased risk for infectious diseases that could have been transmitted through non-sterile needles.

Are there risks associated with egg donation?

As with any medical procedure, potential risks are involved but they are rare.

Pregnancy is a potential risk. It is possible that not all of the eggs will be retrieved. Because of this, pregnancy is a potential risk for some time after the egg retrieval. To reduce risk, donors should always use protection if having intercourse at any time during their participation in our egg donation program.

The risk of infection from egg retrieval is less than 1%. To lower the risk of possible infection, donors will be instructed to take an antibiotic for several days after egg retrieval.

1-3% of women will experience ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This happens when excess fluid from the ovaries transfers into the abdominal cavity causing moderate to severe bloating. To reduce this risk, donors may be given different medications or a change in protocol to help eliminate or significantly decrease the risk of donors having OHSS.

Where can I find more information on the egg donor screening process?

Yes. Check out our blog to learn more about the egg donor screening process. If you have questions, contact us through our form or refer to our frequently asked egg donor questions.
