Considering Egg Donation? A Private, Rewarding Experience

Getting Started is Simple

If you’re interested in exploring egg donation, we’ve streamlined the process to make it as easy and hassle-free as possible. Here’s how it works.

Your Initial Contact:

Simply fill in your contact details here [Click Here] to find out more about egg donation or apply to donate with us or contact us on 066 22 55 003 (WhatsApp) or email donors@capefertility.co.za.

Your information is 100% confidential and will under no circumstances be made available to anybody else. Our team has a wealth of information and experience in supporting egg donors and will gladly answer all your questions.

Medical Screening:

You’ll complete a confidential medical questionnaire to determine if you’re medically suitable to be an egg donor. We will gladly assist you in completing the questionnaire if necessary.

Creating Your Profile:

If your medical questionnaire confirms you’re medically fit to donate eggs, you’ll complete an Egg Donor Profile with Zimi’s assistance. This profile is completely anonymous and confidential, containing only information about your physical characteristics (such as height, weight, hair and eye colour), medical background, education and hobbies, lifestyle choices and interests, as well as childhood photos. Your name, personal details or adult photos will never be shared with anyone to ensure your donation remains anonymous.
 

Your Privacy is Protected

Because egg donation in South Africa must, by law, be anonymous and confidential, the disclosure of the identity of either the egg donor or the recipient is prohibited. If you donate eggs at Cape Fertility, you can rest assured your privacy and anonymity are guaranteed.
 

How Selection Works

Your anonymous Egg Donor Profile is added to Cape Fertility’s world-class and secure database of egg donors. Only potential egg donation recipients are provided with secure access to this database, so only moms-and-dads-to-be looking for an egg donor can browse through the profiles to make their selection. Some look for an egg donor that matches their own physical characteristics, while others look for egg donors who have similar interests or hobbies.

At Cape Fertility, our team facilitates more egg donor matches than any other clinic in South Africa. We have many local and international recipients every month who need an egg donor, and because there are fewer egg donors than couples who need eggs to achieve their dream of becoming pregnant, our egg donors have a very good chance of being selected to donate quickly.

Once an egg donation recipient selects your profile, you will move onto the next step: a medical appointment.
 

What Happens at Your Medical Appointment?

Once an egg donation recipient selects your profile, you’ll attend a 2-hour appointment where you’ll meet with one of our fertility specialists and our psychologist. This is your opportunity to get all your questions answered and discuss any concerns you might have with a specialist.

During this appointment, you’ll receive a detailed medical examination, including routine investigations and a psychological assessment. Our fertility specialist will walk you through the complete egg donation procedure, so you know exactly what to expect.
 

The Donation Cycle

The actual egg donation cycle is where our medical team of fertility specialists, qualified nursing sisters, our resident psychologist and your dedicated Egg Donor Co-ordinator and Fairy Godmother, Zimi, will care for you every step of the way. Having safely completed thousands of treatments over many years, this team is available for you 24/7.

Here’s what the cycle involves:

The Preparation Phase (10-12 days): You’ll receive fertility injections to help your eggs develop. During this two-week period, you’ll need to attend approximately four doctor’s appointments for regular ultrasounds. These check-ups monitor egg development and ensure you’re responding well to the medication.

Egg Retrieval Day: You’ll need to take a full day off work or your daily activities. One of our fertility specialist doctors performs the egg retrieval using a vaginal ultrasound and a fine needle. Under a mild general anaesthetic, you’ll sleep during the 30-minute procedure. There’s no pain during the procedure, no cutting, no stitches, and no scarring.

After the procedure, you’ll rest in recovery for about 1 hour before heading home.

Your Compensation: In South Africa, by law, egg donors can be compensated for reasonable expenses – such as getting to and from the clinic for appointments and procedures. At Cape Fertility, we pay R9000 compensation per donation cycle directly to you on the day of and after your egg donation.
 

What Happens After Your Donation?

After your egg donation experience, our team will remain in contact with you. You can decide whether you’d like to remain available for another donation. Many donors donate more than once because they find the joy of helping to fulfil another’s dream such a rewarding experience.

The compensation is paid to you for every egg donation cycle.
 

Special Note About Travel

It doesn’t matter if you don’t live in Cape Town – if you are selected to complete an egg donation, all your travel and accommodation arrangements and all your expenses will be covered.
