Become an Egg Donor
Empower Lives. Elevate yours.
BE A MIRACLE MAKER.
Egg donation is a remarkable way to help others build their families. Women are born with millions of eggs, and each month, a number of them naturally go unused. Egg donation involves retrieving eggs from a single cycle—eggs that would otherwise be lost—and donating them to individuals or couples who need them to have a child. This includes women facing infertility, male same-sex couples, and single parents on their family-building journey.
At Elevate Egg Donors, we specialize in working with extraordinary women who want to make an extraordinary impact. Our program offers unmatched care and support, ensuring you feel confident throughout the entire process. You’ll learn about your fertility, earn meaningful compensation, and be part of something truly life-changing.
This is more than a generous act—it’s an opportunity to empower yourself while creating joy and legacy for others. Let’s make miracles happen together.

POST-RETRIEVAL
Most donors can resume work or school the following day. It’s normal to experience mild cramping or bloating for up to a week after the procedure.

Consultation
We’ll walk you through the entire egg donation process, from matching, to medications, through the retrieval. This is your opportunity to ask any questions and ensure you feel confident and informed before moving forward. We’re here to support you every step of the way!
Background Checks
We run criminal and social media background checks to ensure the safety, integrity, and trustworthiness of our egg donor program, giving intended parents peace of mind and making the process safe and ethical for everyone involved.
Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) Test
We’ll send you for a simple blood test that helps measure your ovarian reserve—or how many eggs you have left. It gives doctors an idea of your fertility potential and how well your body might respond to egg donation. While it doesn’t predict your ability to get pregnant, a higher AMH level generally means a higher egg count, which is ideal for donation.
Genetic Counseling Session
Once matched, you’ll meet with a licensed genetic counselor to review your family health history. Together, you’ll build a “family health tree” and discuss any genetic patterns. It’s a fascinating and empowering opportunity to learn more about your genetic story, all while ensuring you’re a great match and a suitable candidate for intended parents.
Psychological Exam
A licensed psychologist will guide you through a psychological evaluation to ensure you’re emotionally prepared and capable of donating. This is all about making sure you feel confident, supported, and ready to take on this incredible role in helping a family.
Antral Follicle Count (AFC)
At the Intended Parent’s IVF clinic you’ll undergo an Antral Follicle Count (AFC). This is a quick ultrasound procedure that counts the small, resting follicles in your ovaries. This count helps determine your ovarian reserve. It’s an important step in the egg donation process, giving us a clearer picture of your fertility and ensuring you’re a great match for donation.
Lab Work
At the IVF center, you’ll undergo a series of important blood and urine tests to ensure you’re a healthy and ideal egg donor. Here’s what to expect:
FDA Labs: These are required tests to make sure you’re free from infectious diseases that could be passed along to the future carrier or child. The tests screen for conditions like HIV, hepatitis, and other infections.

- Drug and Nicotine Testing: They’ll test for any drugs or nicotine in your system.
- Carrier Screening: This checks egg donors for a wide range of inherited genetic conditions that could be passed to a child, even if the donor doesn’t have the condition themselves. This test helps minimize the risk of genetic disorders.
