Since the 1980’s, egg donation has helped women who are unable to conceive with their own eggs. We at Prime Genetics are proud to be a part of assisting Intended Parents in starting or expanding their families. We sincerely thank all of the young women who have volunteered their services to assist in this process.
Prime Genetics is continually searching for quality Egg Donors of all races and genetic characteristics. Apply today!
Prime Genetics is a member of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (“ASRM”) and we follow its standards and criteria for egg donation programs.
Prime Genetics strictly complies with ASRM guidelines on Egg Donor compensation. Most Egg Donors are compensated $5000 for their time, inconvenience, discomfort and other related services. ASRM guidelines require justification for compensation paid in excess of $5000 and prohibits compensation over $10,000 under any circumstance.
The Egg Donor may miss several days of work for medical exams, travel, consultation and egg retrieval.
Egg Donors must be responsible, attractive, healthy, non-smokers, emotionally stable, and bright. Most Egg Donors fall within the age range of 20-33 years, but Prime Genetics has, in certain circumstances, accepted potential donors as young as 19 years and as old as 35 years into their Egg Donor program.
Donor Screening & Consultation
The potential Egg Donor begins the process by completing the online application and submitting current and childhood photographs of themselves. Based on information contained within the application, the potential Egg Donor may be preliminarily accepted into the Egg Donor program. Not all applicants are accepted. An applicant that is not accepted should not feel rejected. Acceptance into the program is based on a variety of considerations, including the applicant’s own medical condition.
Once an applicant has been preliminarily selected, they will be contacted by a Prime Genetics’ representative. At some point, the applicant may be requested to submit various OB/Gyn records and other necessary medical records or undergo ultrasound or blood tests to insure that they are not suffering from any sexually transmitted or genetic diseases and that they are capable of producing viable eggs. Once the candidate has been identified by a couple seeking to utilize her services, the candidate will be required to undergo a psychological assessment.
Egg production
Once selected as a donor, the physician will prescribe hormonal therapy to stimulate the donor's ovaries to produce multiple eggs. The physician monitors the progress through blood tests and vaginal ultrasounds.
