In NYC, physician and agency egg donor requirements for age are key. The egg donor age range is generally accepted to be between 19 and 30. Age is key, as women this age tend to have healthy eggs, normal hormone levels, and the best fertility potential - all of which increase success rates, like in IVF.
Clinics and agencies laws, including EggDonors4All, look at these issues not only for research and medical health considerations but also to protect the health of the donor and help the intended parents obtain the best results. Some clinics consider donors older than thirty-two but in these rare instances the clinic has accepted unique factors in each case, and still prefer first time donors to be under thirty.
Being under thirty-years old has the best chance of qualifying for the highest level of egg donor compensation as a healthy donor with the other qualifying eligibility criteria of education and lifestyle, etc.
If you're within this age group and considering donation, you're in a great position to help someone start a family—while being generously compensated for your time and commitment.
