The first step to becoming an egg donor in our program is to complete our application. While the process is selective, we primarily favor donors from New York City. However, women from other parts of New York State and beyond may be considered if they possess special talents or unique traits and can travel to NYC easily for the egg retrieval process. Once the application is reviewed, the next step involves an interview with one of our clinical coordinators to discuss personal medical history and family background. Donors who pass this stage will then meet with one of our physicians for further evaluation, which includes a physical exam, blood tests, genetic testing, and a psychological assessment.
We generally prefer to work with donors who are 21 years of age or older, and as a result, we often collaborate with students and graduates from universities like NYU, Columbia University, and Hunter College, which is conveniently located near CHR. Our ideal donors are women aged 21 – 29, including undergraduates, graduates, and young professionals from the New York City area.
The Center for Human Reproduction accepts egg donors from Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx, as well as Long Island, Westchester and other areas in the NYC Metropolitan Area. While women from other parts of the United States may be considered because of unique talents or traits, NYC donors have an advantage in the application process, and donation logistics are much easier for women within an hour or so from CHR.
When you donate your eggs at the Center for Human Reproduction, you will be receiving all your donation cycle care in one place, with the dedicated team at our world-class fertility center. (Long-distance donors will have their monitoring visits at a local IVF center under our clinical team's guidance and travel to NYC for egg retrieval.) Our clinical team treats donors just like our other patients, with respect and utmost level of clinical care. We are located at 69th Street and Madison Avenue, easily accessible via public transportation from anywhere in the NYC area.
