How old do you have to be to donate eggs? now dont quote me on this but i have read into this once when i was very keen to help a lady i knew.. but from what i remember, drs really dont like to even discuss with u anyy options if you still want more children. so as id only had my daughter and still wanted more then i had to put a hold on this..i dont think there is a beg nning of age, but i dont think many young women would know that they are complete till they are abit older.. but i know there is an age limit, somewhere around 35 ish. because of health wise of the eggs.. are u looking into doing this?? i think it would be an amazing thing to be able to help out a couple who cant have children un assisted.. I doubt they'd let you do it just yet Emma. Maybe after you've passed 20. It's a very intense and painful thing to do. You are tested for a HUGE range of genetic conditions and then if you pass have to be put onto artificial hormones to boost the number of eggs you'll have ready for harvesting and then stick the needle directly into your ovaries to grab them. Counselling is done and they prefer you to have finished your own family (not essential though) because no one truly knows the impact of removing eggs, at minimum it's earlier menopause
