Egg donation is generally accepted by women who are between the ages of 21 and 31.  This is considered the time in life when eggs are the most healthy and viable. There are a number of other considerations that are taken into consideration, as well. While age is a major factor, there are a number of lifestyle considerations that may be required.  A healthy lifestyle is very important.  It is important that there is no recent history of certain diseases. Regular menstruation and healthy body weight (one that is below 29 BMI) are very important.  Being a nonsmoker, not using drugs, or consuming excessive amounts of alcohol are also considered when becoming a donor.
