Because donating an egg is more invasive than donating sperm, egg donors are handsomely compensated. This attracts a number of younger women who are happy to do it for the money. Both mature and immature eggs can now be frozen and thawed. As in any DI procedure, anyone undergoing a procedure with donor eggs will need to make sure that the donor is screened for all of the conditions previously discussed, such as HIV and other STDs. All donors should be of legal age.
Younger donors tend to provide better pickings.
Any woman over 34 years old should have her age revealed to the recipient so that appropriate testing during pregnancy can be offered. Previous pregnancies by the donor is an asset. The donor should be screened for any X chromosome-linked genetic disorder. If the donor falls into a known risk factor group but tests negative for HIV, she should still be disqualified. The donor should be screened for all conditions that would create a high-risk pregnancy, such as Rh incompatibility.
