One of the greatest gifts that a woman can give is the miracle of life. At a young age, many girls look forward to the day they are able to start their own family. Unfortunately, not every woman is blessed with the opportunity to conceive children. The generosity of egg donation can be a rewarding experience and a dream come true for couples who once thought they were unable to have a child. The ability to provide someone with a child is life-changing.
If you are thinking about becoming an egg donor and are curious about what typically motivates women to donate, here are a few key benefits to keep in mind when considering the role of an egg donor.
Compensation:
There are definitely financial advantages accompanying egg donation. Egg donors are compensated for their contribution in addition to being reimbursed for their expenses and legal fees. Depending on their experience, education and demand, egg donors can receive between $5,500 and up to $10,000! Opportunities that were once limited to these individuals due to financial restrictions can now be attainable. Whether the money is used to pursue an education, go on a trip, or for other personal reasons, the compensation from donating your eggs opens windows for new opportunities.
Life Changing Experience:
While money is a major motivator, many women also choose to donate their eggs because of the feeling it gives them. 15% of couples struggle with fertility issues that are often impossible to fix. Worldwide, there are couples who long to be parents and start a family, but do not have the means to do so. Studies have shown that women who cannot conceive go through stress and anxiety levels similar to those who have recently recovered from a heart attack or have been diagnosed with cancer. Egg donation is thus life changing for both same sex and infertile couples. Knowing you are providing someone else with a miracle of life often leaves egg donors with a feeling of altruism, increased level of self-confidence, and long lasting pride.
