This is the bit you have to fill in to apply to become an egg donor. We hope the info below is all that you need to know, but don’t forget to check out our FAQ page as well! Lots of useful info there

Becoming an egg donor is a really divine thing to do. By donating your eggs, you provide the opportunity to make the dreams of hopeful parents come true. Thanks to your generosity, women (and men!) who are otherwise unable to conceive with their own eggs are offered a chance to build their family. Infertility sucks, thanks for helping those who are stuck in that horrible place.

Being one of our gorgeous and divine Nurture Egg Donors, you will feel the love and receive an unparalleled level of support and care. At Nurture, we are focused on making the experience of being an Egg Donor as rewarding as possible. You will be in good hands!

Our donors are compassionate, caring, generous, funky, hip FABULOUS (that’s you!) young women whose acts of generosity mean more to the recipients than can ever be properly expressed in words. In a word: Thanks.

We are an equal opportunity Egg Donor Program – Nurture loves all of you! We are looking for pink, black, caucasian, colored, indian and asian donors. We do not unfortunately accept green donors. Sorry for youuuu!

Brief Overview

The Application: After we receive your initial application, we will review it and, if acceptable, we will send you a more detailed application. Our standards are very high as we are looking to attract people who are 100% committed to the process. This is important because there is a lot at stake here! We need to know you are willing and able to do this. There are basic requirements, e.g. a regular menstrual cycle, age, a body mass index between 19 and 28. To calculate your BMI, click on this link (The reason why you can’t be too skinny-malinky or too voluptuous is that the fertility meds don’t work as well if your BMI is under or over the target range.)

If your application is successful, someone from our divine donor support team will arrange to meet with you over a cup of coffee and have a chat about what exactly is entailed in the process of becoming an Egg Donor. This will be your opportunity to ask any and all questions you might have. Come armed with your list of questions and grill us, we are ready!!

The Medical Procedure: As soon as you’ve been matched with a recipient, you will have an initial appointment with the Doctor and the Psychologist. Once they are satisfied that you are 100% healthy in body and mind, your menstrual cycle will be coordinated with the recipients (this is generally done over a two month period) and thereafter you will be given a 14 day course of fertility medication. During this 14 day period you will need to visit the clinic at least 4 times to track the progress of the developing eggs. On the day of the retrieval, the eggs are removed whilst you are under sedation. No incisions are made. And no, unfortunately the doctors can’t perform any boob jobs or botox treatments while you are ‘under’.

**For detailed information on exactly how the medical procedure works, please read here **

Financial Settlement: Donors are not responsible for any of the medical costs. You will be reimbursed R5000 for the contribution of your time, energy and effort upon completion of the donation.

Initial Application: If you are still interested in pursuing the opportunity to become an Egg Donor (and why wouldn’t you!), kindly complete the form below.
