A donor-first program built on respect, clarity, and care.
EggCelle is an egg donation education and recruitment program — not a fertility clinic. That means our focus is entirely on you: your questions, your comfort, and your experience as a donor.
Your gift, your choice
You're in control at every step. We'll share information, answer questions, and respect your decision — whatever you choose. No pressure, no rush.
Clarity at every step
Here's exactly what to expect — from your first conversation through recovery. We explain medical terms in plain language so nothing feels mysterious.
Your well-being comes first
Your physical health and emotional well-being matter most. You'll have dedicated support before, during, and after your cycle — for as long as you need it.
The impact of generosity
Your choice helps individuals and families of all backgrounds build the future they've been hoping for — a gift that creates ripples for years to come.

Age 21–31
The sweet spot is 23–28, but we welcome applicants across the full age range.

Including vaping and nicotine products for at least six months prior.
Healthy BMI range
Generally between 18–29. Your partner clinic will confirm medical eligibility.
Regular menstrual cycles
Cycles that occur on a predictable monthly schedule without hormonal contraceptive interruption.
High school diploma or equivalent
Many of our donors are current college students or recent graduates.
Live near a partner clinic
Michigan, Ohio, or North Carolina — including surrounding suburbs and university areas.
Real donors. Real reasons. Real impact.
No two donor journeys look alike — but the people who choose EggCelle share something in common: a desire to do something meaningful while being genuinely cared for along the way.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but my coordinator made every single step feel manageable. Knowing I helped a family who'd been trying for years — that's something I'll carry with me forever.
The medical team was thorough and patient. I never felt rushed, and I learned more about my own health in the process than I expected. The compensation helped me pay off student loans early.
I chose EggCelle because they treated me like a person, not a number. Every question got a real answer. I've referred two friends since.

Questions donors ask us most.
Here are six of the most common questions we hear. You'll find a more complete list on our FAQ page — and our coordinators are always happy to talk things through with you directly.
Will donating eggs affect my own fertility later?
During a donation cycle, medications encourage your ovaries to develop eggs that would typically go unused in a natural cycle. Current evidence does not suggest that egg donation reduces a donor's future fertility, though your medical team will review the general health considerations with you before you begin.
How long does the entire process take?
From initial application to egg retrieval, the process typically takes 4–6 weeks of active participation. Most appointments can be scheduled around your existing commitments, and our team works with you to find flexible options — including early mornings and weekends where available.
Is the information I share kept confidential?
Yes. Your personal information is handled with strict confidentiality under applicable healthcare privacy standards. Your identity is not shared with recipient families unless you both participate in a mutually agreed, clinic-facilitated disclosure program.
What does compensation actually cover?
Compensation recognizes your time, effort, and commitment to the donation process — including appointments, monitoring, medications, and the retrieval procedure itself. Travel-related expenses such as mileage, parking, and local accommodations (where applicable) are reimbursed separately.
Do I have to live right next to a clinic?
Not necessarily. Most donors live within a reasonable drive of one of our partner clinics in Troy, Charlotte, Columbus, Cincinnati, or Dayton. Donors from surrounding suburbs and nearby university areas often qualify. The pre-screen will help you see if your location works.
What if I start the process and change my mind?
You can pause or withdraw at any point before the retrieval procedure. We'll never pressure you to continue. Your coordinator will walk you through your options if you have concerns, and your well-being always comes first.
Make a life-changing difference — and be cared for every step of the way.
