Have you been wondering “How do I sell my eggs?” If so, then it starts with understanding that you’re entering a medical, legal, and emotional process—not just a transaction. First, check basic eligibility: most U.S. programs look for donors aged 21–32, in good health, with no serious genetic or infectious diseases.
You’ll complete medical history forms and psychological screening, followed by bloodwork, genetic tests, and an ultrasound to assess ovarian reserve.
If accepted, you’ll sign contracts outlining compensation, confidentiality, and what happens to unused embryos. Compensation is payment for your time, risk, and inconvenience—laws ban direct payment for the eggs themselves. Talk to a lawyer about tax obligations and to be sure you understand parental-rights language.
The medical cycle lasts roughly two months. You’ll self-inject hormones for 10–14 days, attend frequent monitoring appointments, and undergo a brief outpatient retrieval under sedation. Expect bloating and mood swings; rare but serious risks include ovarian hyperstimulation and infection, so ask detailed questions about protocols and emergency care.
Choose a reputable clinic or agency: look for ASRM guidelines compliance, transparent fees, and clear communication. Avoid anyone pressuring you to rush or hiding medical details. Keep copies of every document and set boundaries about future contact with offspring or recipients.
Finally, give yourself space to process the experience. Journal, lean on friends, or meet with a counselor before and after the retrieval. Your health and autonomy come first; money should never be the only deciding factor.
